Does anyone have experience with how waterproof this is? It seems quite light weight for the level of protection the specs suggets.

Much too much advertising on it for me.

Can get almost the same thing at Uniqlo for much less.

Does anyone have information on how waterproof this is? Hope is to use it for multiday backpack trips. But is it good for long rain storms? Or is it more of a short rain protection style coat

I'm not saying it's not worth trying, when I was shopping for a trail running jacket this has the best specs and features (not the lightest) so it's worth a shot. There are cheaper hiking jackets that will work really well too, I just got the arcteryx because I could afford it and I wanted to see if the great reviews/hype is real. I was also swayed by pretty much everyone that had an Issue outside of warranty arcteryx just replaced the jacket no questions asked.
It's all up to how you hike, how you intend to use it and if you're willing to sacrifice comfort for weight.
I live in New Zealand and I'd take this kind of jacket in summer on a quick overnight trip to a hut with a decent weather forecast and minor exposure above the bushline.

It’s pretty similar to the Helium II. Either way, if you’re backpacking in the rain, you’re going to get wet (from rain or sweat). The real purpose of a rain jacket is to keep you warm while you’re wet. Either choice will do this. The only reason I prefer the UD is the hand covers for running, and the hood is perfect.
