When was the last time you washed it the right way? By that I mean washing and drying it hot. Most people have this misconception that goretex has to be babied when you wash it but nothing could be further from the truth. You've got to get all the oils and residue out of the fabrc in order for it to work properly. That means washing it hot and drying it hot in a dryer. 11 years is pretty old, but NF makes good stuff as you well know. Give it a good wash and dry, get some goretex rejuvinator from Nikwax or McNetts, give it the once over and you should be good to go.

Or you could go out and get one of their latest summit series jackets and be good to go for the next 20 years or so. I've got one and they are simply awesome.
