Comparision of Water-resistant Polyester Fabric and Oxford Polyester Waterproof Fabric with PVC:

Water-resistant Polyester Fabric is a softer fabric than Oxford Polyester Waterproof Fabric with PVC, it's easy to work with - PVC coated fabric seems harder compared to it. That's why polyester fabric is more appropriate for f.e. softer cushions for garden seating or a waterproof pad for a baby.
If you use it for outdoor seating, the fabric cannot handle a strong storm or heavy rains - it leaks through, but dries very quickly. We recommend putting away these cushions while it rains or letting it dry properly after the rain.
