The mesh liner indicates 2 Layer waterproof breathable. No liner is usually 3 layer waterproof breathable.

Branden's Outdoor Channel thanks man! Is that with fake jackets in Nepal or you think “gore tex” style jackets in general?

@@ChaseMountains that is with all outdoor brands. The layer type doesnt affect the waterproofness. It affects weight and durability. 3 layer with no mesh liner is the most durable, vs with the mesh liner. Reason is that the mesh causes friction against the waterproof membrane. The mesh is supposed to be a cheaper way to aid in breathability of a jacket. 2 layer jackets are normally sub $300. 3 Layer constrction consists of a backing material such as Tricot (pronounced Tree-Ko) lining thats laminated or glued to gore-tex membrane, and covered by a durable Face fabric such as a high denier Nylon. 3 layer jackets are around $400 and up. I worked in outdoor retail for 18 years. Sold many brands such as North Face and Arc'teryx. Mountain Hardware/Columbia also makes good quality outerwear without the Gore-Tex branded membrane. There are lower priced waterproof pieces made with other company's technology. For example Omni-Tech by Columbia. Gore charges a lot for licensing and testing so many brands opt out of using it for their own membranes. Even North Face makes their own line of waterproof technology.
