Have you tried to wash it in tech wash and rewaterproof it using nix wax?
two ways to check if the goretex/other waterproof breathable membranes are still functional: shake the jacket or pants and see if dandruff like flakes start coming out, if they do its toast. then hold it up to the sun or a bright light and look for splotches where more light comes through, thats another indicator of a failed membrane. if it passes both tests try tech wash then DWR
