Is this thing waterproof? like, will water bead and run off? does it soak up water? I want a lightweight backpacking rain jacket for fishing in entire days bad weather... you know, standing still with no overhead cover in a downpour... recommend something else?

Yep if it ever stops beading apply another DWR. Im a big Gore-tex so check out something with Gore-tex Paclite like the Arc'teryx Beta SL Jacket or the Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket (both a few OZ lighter but quite a bit heavier on your wallet). You can also look at the Gore-tex website for other rain jackets that use Gore-tex. I know i could have just opened up a can of worms sayint that Gore-tex is the way to go but hey NASA puts it in the mulit million $ space suit so must be onto something.
