For example, you'll notice they use fancy smanshy phrasing to imply they provide "optimal water protection", but they avoid calling themselves waterproof. If you try some of these products for a while you'll find that anything that actually doesn't use the word "waterproof" is not waterproof. There's some sort of standard companies have to use if they use the word waterproof or something - they will often imply again and again that something is waterproof (weatherproof is another good one), but that's just to trick you if it was actually waterproof they would call it waterproof.
