Should my OR Helium HD jacket look like it’s saturated immediately after it gets wet? It doesn’t seem to go through but it doesn’t bead up and roll of as I expected.

It sounds like the DWR is worn off. In my experience none of the newer DWR’s are worth anything, and I havne’t had great luck with Pertex Shield either.
It’s brand new, I’ve only worn it day hiking twice and around town a few times.
The DWR shouldn’t have worn off that fast – I might talk to OR.

DS2 Meridian: Vintage Dive Style, Everyday ReliabilityInspired by the streamlined "skin diver" watches of the 1960s, the DS2 Meridian combines vintage proportions with the durability of a modern everyday tool watch. A reliable Japanese Miyota quartz movement delivers set-it-and-forget-it accuracy, while 150 meters of water resistance, a locking screwdown crown, sapphire crystal, and strong Super-LumiNova make it ocean-ready. Available in multiple case sizes and starting under $250, it's an approachable way to get classic dive-watch styling without sacrificing everyday practicality.
