How well does the Gore-Tex Paclite of the jacket hold up under a 50 lbs backpack? Does it wear out fast and loose its waterproofing?

The DWR will wear off overtime, but as Cyrus said, this jacket has a waterproof membrane, so no water should get in. DWR can always be re-applied so thats nothing to worry about either.

Gore-Tex isnt just a coating, its a waterproof membrane...it doesnt wear out or loose its waterproofing ever, and if by some freak occurancce water gets thru, then Gore-Tex will fix it, or refund you, or replace whatever it is.
