The Marmot PreCip Jacket is an extremely lightweight waterproof/breathable shell. The PreCip is fully featured with pitzips, core venting and everything else you'd expect from a $400 piece, yet it weighs half as much and costs only a fraction.
Made with a microporous polyurethane that is impregnated with silicon dioxide particles. These particles create small, numerous, very consistent holes that allow the barrier to pass small water vapor molecules but not the bigger liquid ones. This keeps the rain out while letting your sweat vapor work its way outside, away from your body, to keep you dry from the inside as well as from the outside.
Also, the PreCip Jacket is highly compressible - perfect for those outings when you don't expect it to rain but going without rain gear would be too risky.
The Marmot PreCip Jacket is a no nonsense, top value storm protection that's light, compact and easy to take with you anywhere. The Marmot PreCip is the jacket that changed the rainwear industry; the first value oriented, truly functional light weight rain jacket for backcountry and urban travelers alike. Ventilated and breathable to keep you dry from the inside, PreCip rainwear has plenty of pockets and custom fit features to keep you warm, dry and comfortable. Whether hiking, biking or wandering around town the PreCip jacket is your shell from the elements. Combine this lightweight shell with the Marmot Original DriClime Windshirt for the ultimate 3 season layering combination. The PreCip packs down incredibly small for easy travel storage. This is a rain jacket you can take anywhere. PreCip™ Dry Touch Technology: Waterproof/Breathable Marmot's proprietary PU coating technology specially engineered for unlined garments with excellent durability. A special layer next to the skin reduces condensation and the sticky clammy feel of most coatings.
If Marmot's PreCip Jacket isn't a staple of your outdoor wardrobe, it will be soon thanks to its waterproof Dry Touch Technology that keeps you dry without bulking up on weight. Built for rain, it keeps you ultra-dry in a full-visibility, roll-up hood with a Peripheral Cord adjustment and lightweight, seam-taped PreCip fabric that allows perspiration to evaporate while shedding outside moisture. Specifications based on size Large.
Whether hiking, biking, ski touring, or travelling through the Southeast Asian monsoon season, the Precip Jacket for Men from Marmot sheds water and breaks the wind with ease. While keeping the weight down, Marmot has perfected it's patented PreCip® technology, a barrier that is lightweight, waterproof and breathable. You'll be reaching for your new lightweight Precip Jacket for many endeavors. A truly high quality, low cost jacket made by Marmot, one of the world's best known outdoor brands.

Great Value, but... | |
| Rating: |  |
This jacket is a great value. For under $100, you get a really lightweight, great fitting, functional, packable rain jacket. It has fully taped seams. The pockets double as core vents. It folds/packs into its own left pocket. It is fairly waterproof, but not extremely waterproof. I've worn mine all summer in some really heavy rainstorms and have stayed dry through all of them. The breathability on this jacket is pretty good too. Where this jacket doesn't shine however is in the heat or when you are doing high intensity activities. | |

| I was given one of these jackets about 10 years ago for my birthday. After about 4 years of wearing it all the time, the inner coating of the jacket slowly began to come off. I returned the jacket to Marmot, and to my surprize Marmot sent me a brand new one. I didn't know about their lifetime warranty. The updated Precip jacket has a tougher lining that the fist version. I have worn this jacket as a rain coat, wind breaker, and a outer shell in mid-winter on a 5000+ foot summit, when I forgot to pack my Gore-Tex! The PreCip Jacket has never failed me. Leaving the pit sippers open while raining doesn't trickle the water into you inner clothing, you still stay dry! In New England the weather constantly can change in a minute. I always leave this jacket in my car as a survival jacket. When it get cold, it acts as a great jacket to insulate my body heat to stay warm, and still breathes well enough not to overheat me. This is one great Jacket design. Marmot may have not gotten it right on the first design of this jacket, but the new or current version is much more tougher. Well done Marmot. | |

I've never owned another rain jacket, mostly because I haven't needed to retire the PreCip yet. I don't know if this makes this review less reputable or more significant - you decide. Mine is going on five years' use and still holding up. I must say that I'm surprised - it seems so lightweight and delicate. It has never leaked, never ripped, never lost its capability. The first summer I purchased it while instructing at a camp (outdoors every day of the week) and it rained nearly three times a week on average. This summer I did notice that the seam taping along the back of the neck (base of the hood) was peeling, so it may be nearing its end, but I am still staying dry. Like all rain jackets, if you are wearing short sleeves, it can feel slightly clammy against your skin (I think a lot of reviewers have the misconception that this is precipitation leaking through when, in fact, it is perspiration), but the gigantic pit zips can remedy this quickly. It is plenty roomy for base layers,fleece, etc without feeling loose and sloppy. I hate to think that someday I will have to part with this jacket... | |

The PreCip Jacket is good at what it does. It will keep you dry and the inner coating actually does a decent job of keeping things from getting clammy. The pitzips and mesh pockets do an okay job of letting fresh air in without too much rain, and the pockets are accessible while wearing a pack. | |

Lightweight and works great! | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought this lightweight shell to stay dry on an upcoming month-long hike and have been taking every opportunity to test it since it arrived on my doorstep. Weather has been rainy the past few weeks in Chicago and I've gotten the chance to see how this great jacket works in light rain as well as an awful downpour. I was surprised that even in the worst weather, it kept me completely dry with no leak-through. It also layers well with my Marmot fleece for good wind protection and warmth. The feature I enjoy most on this jacket is the roll-up hood. I don't like walking around in a hooded jacket when I'm not wearing the hood and having the ability to essentially turn this into a jacket without a hood when I'm not using it gives it extra points. When I do need the hood, I don't even have to remove the jacket to unroll it - Accessibly velcro strap is reachable while I still have the jacket on! Great buy at the price! | |

This jacket looks stunning on my husband. I bought him the Large Tall. He is 6'2" and weighs about 155 - 160. It is hard to find nice gear in his size. I ordered both the Hedge and the Tempest (deep blue) and also had tried the regular XL to compare sizing. No contest, the Tall L is much more flattering on a tall skinny guy...and I love the Tempest on a blue eyed blond. It was light as a feather to send one back. As far as function, he has worn it to a football game in the rain, and it's been fine. Unlike the North Face Strider jacket that this one replaced, I noticed he likes to wear it as a light top layer when it is not raining. | |

dont leave home without it | |
| Rating: | |
I have had my precip for a few years now and I love it. It is light enought to always bring it along. I count it as a piece of safety gear because I pack pretty light. When it is cold and windy this is my wind shell. Betweeen the main zip, the pit zips and the pocket zips and cuffs it is easy to tweak so that I am not sweating. I have not had any leaking problems in the rain. I typically refresh the DWR every season as a matter of maintenance so I havent had any probs with that. It is sized for layering and the sleeves are pretty well sized for me (typical long sleeves are too short for me). Usually can be found on sale somewhere. | |

Great Waterproof Shell | |
| Rating: | |
| I’m a tall, lean (6’ 7†– 220 lbs) rower that was looking for a waterproof jacket that I can use when I go out rowing. Typically jackets either have sleeves that are too short, or the sleeves are long enough, but the chest size is enormous. This jacket fits me perfectly, and is very good for putting on base layer clothing for cold days. If it’s a hot day, the jacket is light and breaths well so that I can stay dry in a Florida-like climate. I guess the only flaw I can find is that the pockets sit a little high, which may be a result of my size. I definitely recommend this jacket to any athlete looking to keep out the rain. | |

Good Minimalist Rain Jacket | |
| Rating: | |
Good minimalist rain jacket. Weighs pretty much nothing, stuffs down pretty small. I don't expect actually-waterproof gear to breathe much no matter what the price, so the pit zips are a plus. I get a little of the clammy feeling over short sleeves, but fixing that would add cost and/or weight, and it's not that big a deal. | |

Nice but don't wear a backpack. | |
| Rating: | |
This is a great jacket for high aerobic activities such as running on a windy and wet day. Because it is so light the PreCip is perfect to take along during summer hikes just in case it might drizzle or be windy at the summit. Some reviewers have complained about inadequate rain protection - well this is not a Gore-Tex storm shell so don't expect protection in a torrential rain! My major problem with this jacket is that it is not very abrasion-resistant. The PreCip lining around the neck and waist wore off completely after only a few hours of wearing a very light (essentially empty) 25 L backpack! | |

Not all that it is cracked up to be | |
| Rating: |  |
I bought this because I knew I would need rain gear. It had gotten numerous positive reviews so I was fairly sure that it would work well. I turned out to be wrong. This jacket works okay in very light rain, but then again so does a windbreaker or a t-shirt. I took a ten minute walk in moderate rain, under trees most of the time and by the time I got to my destination the jacket was soaked through at the shoulders and the arms. In its favor it does breathe very well but I would rather have it shed water worth a crap. On a less serious note, the sizing sucks. I am a tall skinny guy and I got a small and the thing is gigantic on me. I know that rain gear is supposed to fit loosely but I can fit my backpack under the thing with room to spare. Despite being huge on me, the arms are too short so they are constantly riding up if I need to lift my arms to reach something, even with the cuffs tightened as much as possible. | |

Quality down the tubes | |
| Rating: | |
As with pretty much every other gear company that ships manufacturing overseas the quality on this jacket has gone down. I had the 2001 model with zip away hood, actual rubber clasping wrist cinchers, nice zipper and sturdier pockets and vents. I was pretty disappointed with the current version of the Precip (2008 model) the hood isn't removable or storable, it has one flimsy tie down in the center of the neck that doesn't really hold the hood in. The wrist cincers are made from the same material as the jacket and don't hold as well as the old ones. The vents are also the pockets, so you can't put anything in the pockets and have the vents open without your stuff falling out. The designers at Marmot must of gotten hi-jacked by the accounting department. | |

I too was lured to this jacket by the tiny pack size, low weight, and very reasonable price. Seemed too good to be true. Well, it is. This jacket will protect you from minor storms at best (when new). I have one that is 3 months old, basically sitting in my pack until the snows came, very little to no wear. Well, this week the snow came in hard during a night hike. Wet, heavy stuff that falls fast and melts on you just as fast. "No Problem", I figure as I zip on my PreCip. Within 15 minutes of heavy, wet snow (about an inch on our pack covers), the shoulders and hood were totally wet out, and leaking badly. Skip this for anything but casual, summer use. You can't afford to be in the winter backcountry with an inferior, leaking shell such as this! | |

Don't Wear the PreCip in Heavy Rains | |
| Rating: |  |
| This past Saturday while hiking up Giant mountain Rocky Ridge in the Adirondacks I donned this jacket for protection from heavy rains for the first time and it was a complete disappointment. The outside nylon material absorbed water across the entire surface making the coat heavier and allowed water to permeate to the inside through the inner liner causing me to become water logged as well. I would expect a rain jacket to bead water off not absorb and transmit it inwards. After drying it out as an experiment I made a pocket on the backside avoiding seams and poured water into it, I was not surprised to see it drip through. In doing more research I believe the PreClip is more suited for urban and light weather use not heavy rain. | |

i'm displeased w/ this rain jacket. i bought it as a lightweight rain jacket and needed one w/ pitzips. soooo many hikers swear by this jacket but i don't know why. after a few months the sleeves have become absolutely useless. they get soaked through in 5 minutes of even light rain. the waist is also starting to wet out at a very fast rate. i wouldn't count on this jacket when staying dry really matters. i have to give credit to marmot though. i called and explained my situation and they said to send the jacket in. i'm planning on doing that soon so we'll see what they do about it... | |

waterproof for the first three rains | |

I love Marmot and expected great things from this jacket. Bought it specifically for hiking and trekking in Colombia in a cool wet weather. Wore it on top of wicking underwear or fleece. The first 2-3 days of rainy weather it was dry inside. That was it - afterward it leaked badly, and I know it's not sweat because when I wore it over a small daypack, far from the body, the *inside* back of the jacket was soaked, water running down it. Unfortunately it had to go back. | |

Great start, poor finish | |

| I bought this jacket last year before a trip to Africa in my search for lightweight, waterproof, quality gear. This jacket was so fantastic the first time I wore it out in a storm, but the remainder of my month there I suffered through any rain at all. It simply doesn't keep the water off of me. Continuous leaking not just at the seams but all over the coat, I suffer from continued stick-to-skin sleeves and wet under layers. Maybe I got a defective PreCip? | |

I bought this jacket at a fathers day sale a few years back and it straight up sucks. I purchased it because of its good reputation and lightweight, but the jacket failed to live up to the hype.

The jacket gets wet and sticks to your arms allowing water to absorb through the jacket. complete crap and i would not purchase Marmot again. | |

Marmot Precip Review | |
| Rating: | |
| I've had the precip for a few years now. When I originally bought this it was a great jacket. It fits great and it's super light. However, I found out quickly that it does not breath very well (gets clammy very quickly) and does not keep you dry if you're in serious extended wet weather. On a weekend backpacking trip, it rained the whole time and the jacket began to soak through after several hours. Like I said, the fit is great, however, the hood could use some work. The brim is not stable at all and the fit of the hood is not that great....definitely not helmet compatible For someone who is looking for a light weight more casual jacket, or something to throw in your pack just incase, this is great. Also, the price isn't all that bad. However, if you're going to be out for long periods of time or live in an area of very wet weather, you may want to consider something with Gore-tex or the equivalent. | |

Good, but not all it crack up to be | |
| Rating: | |
I choose the Precip because of all of its great reviews, best of status, and Backpackers Editors choice award. I have owned it for a little of a year now and it has mostly lived up to all its hype, at least in its casual and recreational use. (i.e. around town and the thunderstorm) However, last week on a small 2 hr day hike in the Quinault Rain Forest it became quickly clammy and began soak through on the arms and chest. Needless to say, I was little disappointed. Bottom line the Precip is good for light and/or small rain showers not, heavy or prolonged periods of rain. Mine is going in my truck to wear around town. | |

Lightweight and light duty | |
| Rating: | |
| Cut and sizing are great, and the jacket performs well while it lasts, but it just does not hole up to more than casual use. Unfortunately the interior coating just does not hold up. Like the similar Cloudveil Zorro and the coating wears off after just moderate use. While the price is not excessive, and the jacket would probably serve fine for moderate and occasional use it just does not cut it for someone who is actually out in the hills on a regular basis. This jacket (and it's Zorro replacement) were only good for one season for me. | |

Seemed nice enough: pit zips, new collar design, cuffs and windproof is great. First rain (Portland, OK?) the hood leaked at the brim and back. I got it for Christmas. Here we are in April. The DWR is now shot, and the fabric now soaks in the rain. The "relaxed fit" looks like I need to weigh 250 and wear down under it; since I don't, it billows in the wind. Um, other than that... | |

good except hood needs more coverage | |
| Rating: | |
| Only problem I have so far is the hood. It does not give enough protection for your face in blowing rain or snow. It is even worse if I wear a fleece balaclava. If the hood was deeper with an adjustment so I could have just the right amount of front coverage than the jacket would be near perfect in light duty uses such as backpacking. | |
