I bought a wind jacket last year and was rather smug for the first few showers I got caught in as it held them off; in my mind, it was just a wind jacket so this feature was a bonus! It then was no longer shower proof but it still fulfils my primary requirement of it.
I thought that AndyP said his was no longer waterproof when I saw him at Muddy Hell, but don't quote me on that.
I think Regal has hit the nail on the head there. Mine goes in with all the normal laundry so gest fabric conditioned which, I think, most water resistant/ proof things aren't supposed to be exposed to.
