I've had this about two weeks now, and I've been impressed with its water resistance. I have noticed some water penetration along the edges of the cuffs. Has anybody else experienced this?

Since this material is highly water resistant, not waterproof, the DWR on the cuffs will wear off quickly in this area because of wear and tear. To fix this, i would suggest that you get some Nixwax Spray-On DWR and apply it to the cuff areas of this jacket. By doing this, you will have some extra protection and hopefully it will stop the water from penetrating the jacket.
