Windbreakers do provide some protection against the rain, but they will for sure not keep you dry for long. Unlike rain jackets, they don't utilize membranes/coatings for weather protection, but merely a tightly woven fabric treated with DWR. However, windbreakers provide excellent protection against the wind.
What is the point of a windbreaker?
A windbreaker, or a windcheater, is a thin fabric jacket designed to resist wind chill and light rain, making it a lighter version of the jacket. It is usually of lightweight construction and characteristically made of a synthetic material.
How waterproof are windbreakers?
While most windbreakers of some sort of water resistance, they are not waterproof. This means that they may be suitable for wearing in light rain or for shorter periods of time during wet weather. However, if you will be spending a lot of time in the rain, a windbreaker may not be quite as suitable.
