Great advice! Thanks. Where can I purchase these products?

You can probably find it at MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op).

I've also seen them at Sportchek.

I own a Sims g4. Was a great rain jacket at the begining; however, I was not very happy about the durability. My jacket only survived around 4 seasons before wearing out.  For the price I would expect much better.

They have it at MEC.

I wear " Gore Tex" rain gear for work and washing it , from new , with the tech wash makes a difference.

Following the washing instructions and using these products, will make it perform better over time.  Regular cleaning is important too.

Keeping gortex clean is important.
After a while dirt/dust fill in those micro spots that let it breathe and stop moisture (sweat..) From escaping and actually start to wick the moisture (rain) in.

If your sweating on an extremely rainy day the inside moisture can't escape.
The jacket isn't necessarily leaking, it just can't breathe.

love my g3 jacket. lots of pockets. good hand warmers and keeps me dry. the only thing i dont like are the sleeves are a little small if you have big hands. its always a pain to get off.
