Water Resistant Air Filter?
How can an air filter draw air but not water? I like what I see on the "Tymar" and home made "Tymar" style filters but don't understand how a filter can be water resistant and flow air at the same time.

I think it's the same technology that brings us breatheable waders. The filter on the TYMAR is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. If you were to immerse it in water, some would eventually get through, but the limited amount that might get on one while under the hood of a truck isn't a problem.
