 Marmot Men's Precip Jacket By: Marmot Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 5 More Information pleased so far  On: 2008-10-25I am happy with the overal fit and performance of the product. I have only tested it in the rain once, with good results. I havent had it long enough to comment on its durability. Packs well Tropical Storm Hannah do your worst On: 2008-09-08What better situation to test the durability of a rain jacket than during a tropical storm escorting ladies from their cars to a baby shower? I had wanted a lightweight versatile rain jacket for quite some time. Enter the Marmot PreCip rain jacket. For a mid priced jacket this cant be beat. Not only did the PreCip handle well in the rain but it provided the kind of breathability you would find in higher priced rain jackets. While it does skimp on the pockets it nonetheless provides a good contour fit around the upper torso. From the low profile zippers and tighteners this is a hiker, runner, or everyday mans must-have jacket. The jacket can be stuffed into one of its own pockets for stowage which makes it ideal for backpacking. I would highly recommend this jacket for anyone looking for a lightweight moderately priced rain jacket. Great Product  On: 2008-06-03Great lightweight rain jacket. Completely waterproof. Easily packable and perfect for the Spring (or any season) weather in Seattle. Nice rain jacket, perfect for spring / summer! On: 2008-05-01I received this right as it started a spring downpour for about 5 days straight here. It kept me dry, and was lightweight enough to not be bulky or impede motion. I didnt get a drop of water on me, and the hood was great, you can wear it normally or even put a longer flap out if needed. It is thin, so it seems like it would rip easily, so Id be careful in dense brush. It is very compact, would fit in another coat pocket or in a small pocket in your backpack if needed, super-compact. Would also fold up into its own pocket. Dried very fast when I hung it up. Great color choices as well. The only negative I have is that the pockets are a little high, up where some secondary pockets are on my other jackets. True, it also does not breathe that well, but its a rain jacket...just open the pit zips if you have to step inside somewhere, or just take it off, no biggie, you can practically shake whatever water is left on it off, and throw it in your pack. I would definitely buy another one (my girlfriend also has one). All around I would give it a high score 9-10/10 because it was exactly what I needed and was looking for for the warm month downpours, and portability. My winter shell is indestructible, but way, way too bulky to take around for the warm months. Great jacket! On: 2007-08-23This jacket is wonderful! Its so light weight and flexible and you can take it where ever you want to go. My husband and I have this jacket and take it everywhere. I recommend this to anyone who wants to keep dry, cause it will sure do the job! |
