I've had this jacket a few years now, I was wondering if there is a product I can use to help bring back the water resistance it had when I bought it? After multiple washes it seems not to repel light rain as well as it once did. Thanks.

Yes - Nikwax makes a softshell spray-on DWR treatment that will help bring back the water resistance. Looks like Backcountry sells it, and I prefer the spray on treatments, as they concentrate the treatment where you need it - on the exterior of the fabric. Hope this helps-
