Would a water repellent spray make a jacket reasonably usable in a light rain?

Asked by 2davidc8 (10189points) October 24th, 2017

I see that water repellent sprays for clothing, backpacks, tents, boots, etc. basically are of two types: (1) silicone-based and (2) fluoropolymers (such as those containing Tectron – not to be confused with Tecron, the gasoline additive).

Can these sprays make a jacket water resistant? Which type of spray is better?
