How often have you reproofed it in that time?
I have had mine about 9 months, not used it a lot and the jacket wetted out and I was soaked to the skin wearing it in a downpour recently.
Bergen pants ( event) didn't fair any better, second time I've worn them in heavy rain, first time they were fine, second time I was soaked.
