I've seen lots of comments stating that this jacket is totally waterproof, which I believe, but can somebody comment on how good the DWR is? Will water bead up and roll off, or will it soak the outer layer of the jacket?

The 70D Paclite fabric we use to make this jacket is from Gore. The DWR is applied by Gore as a result and is part of the "gauranteed to keep you dry" Gore gaurantee. I think you will find that as long as you keep your jacket CLEAN the DWR will function well for a long time. Again, keeping your jacket clean will really help maintain the life of any DWR. Hope this info helps!

nah, the 70D shell is slick. DWR holds up nicely and beads consistently. Only thing I'm worried about is the durability of the Paclite in the long run, I've seen tougher membranes wear out around certain high risk areas...
