Marmot PreCip Jacket -

"The women's Marmot Precip is a grade-a rain jacket if there ever was one. The hood is big enough so that you can really pull it down and keep the rain out of your eyes. The pit zips come in handy for ventilation more than you think they will, too. I'm no badass, so I wear mine more as a casual rain jacket, and not only does it keep me supremely dry, it's also pretty cute. I also invented an Elvis sighting drinking game in this jacket. So, it for sure fosters creativity."

We haven't seen the numbers to confirm it, but we are pretty sure that the Marmot Precip Jacket is the best-selling raincoat in all of history. Its popularity is well-founded; it's light enough to take on a hike, waterproof enough to shield you from a thunderstorm, and affordable enough to not break the bank. The 2.5-layer PreCip technology that gives the jacket its name is based on a bi-component waterproof coating, comprising both monolithic (solid) and microporous (full of tiny holes) layers, finished off with a dry-touch inner treatment. As for how well it works, the popularity of the jacket should tell you everything you need to know.

ABOUT MARMOT

In April 1971, University of California Santa Cruz students Eric Reynolds and Dave Huntley were in Alaska on the Juneau Icefields on a school project in Glaciology. It was here on the glacier, amongst these students, that the idea of a Marmot club began. To become a Marmot, you had to climb a glaciated peak with another Marmot. One of the rules of the club was that everyone was president. Most of the other rules dealt with the collegiate fascination with bodily functions.

Eric and Dave went on to found Marmot Mountain Works in 1974, and through the years the company made lots of innovations in down jackets, sleeping bags, Gore-Tex apparel, and beyond. Their modest enterprise is now one of the largest and most respected outdoor gear companies in the world, distributed in over 60 countries, and it is still all about the highest-quality, innovative performance products.

Rocky Mountain Trail

Who stays in when it's raining outside? Not you.
The PreCip Jacket is reliable, value-oriented and full-function rainwear for backcountry and urban travelers alike. Marmot's improved waterproof and breathable coating provides Dry Touch comfort and is more durable than ever. Also see PreCip Pant and PreCip Full Zip Pant. A full zip for quick on and quick off adds another level of functionality to these lightweight, full-protection rain pants.
The new PreCip® coating is now more waterproof, more breathable and more comfortable to wear. We've added ceramic particles in the coating for added durability, waterproof reliability and Dry Touch comfort.
The key to PreCip® is its barrier technology: 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. PreCip® rainwear is compressible enough to stuff into a water bottle and comes in enough colors and styles to travel with you anywhere– to the mountains, the city or overseas.

great fit and keeps me dry

I bought this to wear in the rain while rowing or rigging boats. Although we didn't get much rain this summer, I did try it out one very rainy and humid day. It was hard to tell how dry it kept me since I kept sweating in it. Another day I wore it in the rain out on the water and I felt it did a good job of keeping me dry. Love the bright yellow color which makes me very visible in it when I'm on the water. Also a great jacket for casual wear, especially when traveling when you need something light against the cold or wind.

I tried on many rain jackets in this price range and this one by far had the best fit. I am long and lean, 5'8" about 120 lbs, and the others were too boxy fitting. Also the collar design on this one was far superior. It looks the best of all the jackets I tried, especially when it wasn't zipped all the way up. The others looked and felt awkward when not zipped up all the way to your nose. The hood on this one was also a good fit and provided good coverage.

Overall I was very pleased with it and hope that it's ability to keep my dry persists through the future years.
Kren a rower at Campmor on 08/08/2011

The Precip Jacket has never let me down in a rain storm. It has kept me dry in the city, in the mountains, and in the English countryside, where the affinity for getting wet is much better testing ground then my home in SLC. I am 5'2" with broad shoulders for someone my size, but the small fits me well and comfortably. The cut is close to the body and figure flattering. I have also used the Precip during spring skiing, the pit zip ventilation is a huge plus, especially as many rain jackets don't have any ventilation. I also love the size and roominess of the hood. Many hoods are too tight/small and leave my neck feeling scrunched down to my shoulders, which is so uncomfortable I'd rather get wet than get put my hood up. However, the Precip has plenty of room for my neck and shoulders to relax comfortably and my head to move.

Great rain jacket for cycling!

I tried this on in a local store and liked the fit, but they only carried it in black. I wanted a bright color for bicycling. I found a nice bright yellow on line--really pretty color! I bought it roomy enough to layer over fleece on cold days. It's completely waterproof, and works great on my bike! We have been having a very rainy fall, and it keeps me dry. I plan to wear it all winter for bike commuting, and also for skiing as an outside layer. In retrospect I could have used some reflective tape. I haven't even tried the pit zips yet, although they seem like a great idea on longer rides. Many bike-specific rain jackets are sized for men, or if for women, are styled to be tight (which isn't really very practical), so I was delighted to find a woman's waterproof and functional rain jacket in a comfortable, attractive style.
OldMixte at Rock/Creek Outfitters on 11/11/2009

The Precip is on my "must have" list for any winter run, any mountain hike, and for any long endurance race. I KNOW it will perform. I've tried other jackets, but still go back to the precip I find it to be the best balance between real waterproof protection and lightweight packability.. there are lighter jackets out there, but they are not waterproof. The precip will fold up easily and tie on the back of my pack, and it has performed well in warm summer downpours and sub-freezing winter outings in snow and hail and sleet. I am 5'2" and the medium size is not too big, but allows me to put this on over a hydration pack if I need to. the chin guard is not scratchy and the hood stays in place. For the price, you simply can't find a better lightweight rain jacket...

deb pero at Backcountry.com on 02/01/2012

I bought the Marnot PreCip cobalt blue Jacket for my wife to protect her from wind and rain. I know Marmot to produce excellent gear; so I wasn't surprised that the jacket did a wonderful job keeping her dry and comfortable when we encountered fairly high winds and a heavy spring rain while camping recently. My wife, Joan, loved the main front zipper because it didn't hang, and she also liked the draw strings on the cuffs and the adjustable hood. I expected this....................
But what I didn't expect was how much Joan really loved the style of the jacket; the "really beautiful color" and the way it fit. It was if I had given her a GIFT. She carries the jacket with her now whenever she leaves the house. All in all a winner for the both of us!!!!!!!

jimp404144 at Backcountry.com on 04/06/2013

Great Jacket, Different from Men's

The Precip jacket is built very well with an obvious attention to detail (one exception)and quality. The fit is good, although we've used larger sizes than "snug" because the intent is that it's part of our layering system for backpacking and is intended to go over another jacket (fleece or down, depending).

The one quibble we found is that this woemn's jacket doesn't have the same collar system for securing the hood as do the mens and youth versions (which tuck away very securely). On the womens, you roll it up and then secure it under a totally open flap, with one small velcro strap in the center. The wings of the hood can come out and don't secure nearly as well as on the other jackets.
Backpacking Boy Scout at Campmor on 06/06/2011

BUY IT

Completely recommend this product. The pit vents help keep you cool, so you're not baking in what feels like a sweat suit. The colors are great. My favorite part by far is the weight of the jacket, however. I was looking for something that I could shove in a day pack for overnight trips and not have it be so heavy that I even consider just "man-ing it out" and getting wet. You don't even notice it in your pack. Good coverage on the hood, arms are a good length too. I'm 5'10'', 130 lbs and got the medium. It leaves the perfect amount of room to layer, while still leaving my wrists covered and figure looking ready for the Miss Mountain-America pageant. Kudos, Marmot.
Sarah at Moosejaw on 08/13/2012

Great jacket!

I bought this jacket for a trip to Alaska because I was told it would rain every day. I went for a week, and we didn't see one drop of rain. I'm convinced it's because I bought a good rain jacket!

Nevertheless, it's a great jacket, and I'm definitely keeping it. I love the underarm zip vents. I can wear it in the heat without melting. One comment though - I ordered the virtual pink/purple berry color because it looks like a subtle color difference online. When I received it, they were two very different colors. Just be prepared for a pink and purple jacket with this color. Other than that, I think it's all I could ask for with a rain jacket
Cindy at Rock/Creek Outfitters on 08/08/2009

Great lightweight rain jacket

I'd been wanting a precip jacket for a while and found a great deal here at Rockcreek . My concern was sizing as I am in between a small and a medium (5'5" tall/ 120 lbs). I chose the small and it is more form fitting but can comfortably wear a sweater underneath. As a friend (an owner of two Precip jackets) suggested to me as I'm thinking about getting another one in a different color-- next time I'll get a medium for a slightly looser fit--but the small is just fine! I wore it the other day in a heavy downpour and was very pleased with how dry I stayed.Highly recommend--very stylish too!
Urban mom at Rock/Creek Outfitters on 11/11/2009

Great Lightweight Rain jacket

I'm an avid hiker in the Rocky Mountains, and while one hopes that rain stays away, it happens. The Marmot jacket is so lightweight to carry that it's not an issue. I roll it up and put a rubber band around it and put it in the pack. It's also great to have on those cold mornings when you have an early start and it's maybe in the 30's or 40's, but you know you'll be peeling off layers as the day warms up. I love it. Don't know about the complaints of color. I ordered the Tamale (orange) and it's super. (I wanted a BRIGHT color for safety reasons.)
Rocky Mountain High at Rock/Creek Outfitters on 10/10/2009

Negative Reviews:

I have been through two of these jackets. The first got stolen, so i only had it a few weeks. The newest Ive had about a year and a half. I live in Boulder, so I don't get a lot of rain. However, recently went to see a Rockies game with rain forecast, so brought the jacket. Sure enough, it started pouring. Put on the jacket, cinched it up tight... wasn't I surprised when I felt water dripping down my back and arms. I would have been better off with no jacket, rather than the wet mess this became. Now I'm in the market for a new, actually waterproof, rain jacket.

hannah at Backcountry.com on 05/20/2012

Too light-weight

The fit was not as expected--think this jacket runs small. Sleeves too long for me, jacket length awkward. The material just felt too light-weight--didn't hang well at all. Not the quality feel I'm used to in Marmot. Disappointed; did a return.
SS at Campmor on 08/08/2011

Neutral Reviews:

I've had one of these jackets for a year and a half, and I use it in the backcountry pretty frequently. While working as a guide in the Adirondack High Peaks (where it is rains large amounts frequently), I used this and the matching pants for rain protection. It wasn't that great, the material wetted out very quickly and even when zippered all the way up and cinched closed water still managed to make its way through the material and typically soaked my baselayers. If you are not expecting squalls, the jacket should be just fine, but if you are out for extended periods and really need to be dry, I would recommend spending a little extra money and getting a good Gore-tex rain layer or something a little more reliable.

cam4591558 at Backcountry.com on 04/12/2012

They used to be better.

This jacket will definitely keep you dry if you ever happen to find yourself in a torrential downpour. I used to have one in green before it got swiped but upgraded to eggshell recently. The green one seemed more flexible and less crunchy when I moved but they both serve the same purpose.
EUNICE at Moosejaw on 03/06/2013

Will serve the purpose

Purchased for travel as a light weight outer layer. Glad I went up a size as it seems to run small or maybe due to a more fitted cut doesn't allow for many layers underneath. Haven't used it much yet to test breathability or wind/water protection.

I wear this jacket in regular windy rainy weather and LOVE it. Amazing colors too!
