MARMOT Men’s PreCip Jacket | Lightweight, Waterproof, Arctic Navy, Large

This jacket was great until it wore out in less than a year.A little background: I work as a bicycle messenger in Minneapolis year-round so I was looking for the lightest, most breathable rain jacket out there. This definitely fits the bill, and while you're still gonna sweat while being active in this jacket, it does better than most at breathing out vapor, so I stayed comfortable.The fit of this jacket is interesting. I generally wear US Mens size L shirts for a looser fit. This jacket had a very loose, almost poncho-like fit at the bottom. However the chest was normal and the arms were fitted and tapered down to the cuffs. If you're in between sizes and you have big arms, consider sizing up. Also, it seems they got the hood a little wrong. The visor tends to dip down in front of my eyes. There is no physical support for the visor.The way that the hood folds into the collar is very convenient especially for me as a cyclist. The rolled up hood surrounds the neck creating extra warmth.And finally, the wear. I should qualify this by saying that I used this jacket for cold weather cycling many times this winter, in temps as low as -10 degrees ferenheit. I understand that this is not the intended use for the jacket and I should've used a different one. However, I am still disappointed that, less than a year later, the waterproof lining has already worn out. Was this due to the extreme cold? I don't know. But either way I can't justify spending $100 a year for a jacket

Love it. Keeps me warm and dry in the wind and rain! Fits perfectly.edit: After a year of wearing it, the inner lining started coming off. When I took it off, I would be covered in little white specks from the lining. It has gotten to the point where more lining ends up on me than still on the jacket. I've contact marmot 4 times because of the supposed "lifetime warranty" on it when I bought it. However, all of the info about warranties on their website has changed, no longer giving lifetime warranties and I have not gotten a response from them once. I would NOT recommend this jacket. Instead spend a little more money on something from NorthFace or Black Diamond. Their customer service is excellent and they stand behind their products. They will replace something no questions asked once it falls apart. Unlike Marmot who doesn't even give a customers question the dignity of a respons

I'm a full time traveler and will be in the Pacific Northwest for the next few months during the rainy season. I love the outdoors and didn't want to let the rain stop me from getting outside. Searching for a decent rain jacket that will keep me dry has become a slight obsession. After visiting a handful of brick and mortar stores as well as reading a ton of Amazon reviews, I settled on getting the Marmot Precip jacket and matching pants. The price tag fit somewhere between the high-end gear like the Outdoor Research Foray and the inexpensive 20 MM PVC Coleman rain suit. The Precip hit that price point where I felt like I was getting a quality product at a reasonable price.The shipping was fast and I received the the jacket and pants within two days of ordering them. I opened the package and discovered the material did not meet my expectations or compare to the jackets that are slightly more expensive.There are two layers to the jacket. Although the outer layer material is described as rip-stop nylon, it was not as thick as other rip-stop material i’ve purchased in the past. I believe it will most likely rip the first time you encounter a branch or scrape it along a rock. The inside layer of the jacket feels very similar to the thin plastic table covers you can get at the dollar store. The jacket is fitted with all YKK zippers, which in my experience has been great quality, however these are not waterproof like I've seen in other jackets. There is a flap of fabric that covers it to keep the rain off.I'm 5' 9", about 170 pounds, and wear a size 33 waist. After reviewing the Marmot sizing guide on their website I ordered a size large in both the jacket and pants. Even with a thick fleece on the jacket is way too big and the pants are pretty long.I believe this is a decent jacket that you can keep in your backpack when you don’t expect it to rain. It’s lightweight and stuffs into its own pocket. I ended up returning it because I don't trust that this jacket will keep me dry in the rains of the PNW. I'm not sure which jacket I'll try next, but was overall disappointed this jacket didn't work out. I really thought it would be the one to keep me warm and dry.

My husband is 6'1" and weighs 195-200 pounds. He wears a large tee shirt, and prefers an XL dress or flannel shirt. He wanted a waterproof shell to wear when walking the dog. We went with this one because it was one of the few that claimed to be waterproof, not just water resistant. We went with a 2XL because he wanted to be able to layer insulating shirts/vests under the shell, and he was more concerned with functionality than with a slim, stylish silhouette.This is a great shell that fits well. It's full enough in the torso to allow easy movement and as many layers as he needs, and the sleeves cover his wrists -- usually, his wrists "stick out." The shoulder seams run right along his shoulders, and the shell is long enough to cover most of his butt. There is a draw string on the bottom of the jacket that allows him to cinch it as tightly as he wants, and while the pockets are very lightweight (probably not good for heavy wads of keys) they are adequate for stashing gloves or a wallet.The slate gray color is nice and neutral. This is a shell that can be worn in many situations. Well worth the extra $$.

Wore it once in the rain. Water permeates through the material. My shirt was soaked after 20 minutes of walking. Fail. Unfortunately the seller says the return time expired.

It's really light and excellent at keeping you dry, the collar works really well and the hood is even big enough for my gigantic head! The drawstrings on the hood and waist, as well as the cuff straps, work to keep rain out. The pockets are roomy and the whole thing actually looks alright as long as it isn't scrunched up. It's great for sporadic weather as it breathes really easily, so hot spots of sun aren't too much of a bother.Only minor gripe might be that in wind it's difficult to keep your face dry, I have to hold the hood peak down a bit. I think that's more because of the size of my head though, as I tend not to use the hood drawstrings too much as they bring the shoulders up and make my upper body look like a tent. Maybe with a smaller head you could do them up tighter to protect your face in the wind.Other than that though it's a great, lightweight, easily stowed jacket that looks great and works well.

Great jacket. Took it with me to Japan last year and have been using it ever since whenever I go hiking and have to contend with some light rain and the like. Fares fine against moderate hail and snow, too. Packs down very *very* well and also acts as a good cover for your pack if you have to leave it out in the rain while camping and it's really spitting bullets.Only qualm is that the DWR coating/etc wore out obscenely fast and didn't work too well to begin with. The first time I used it near-zero in the rain and mist up a mountain, it soaked itself fairly fast, outside-in. Thankfully I can guarantee that it is indeed waterproof: dry as a fresh piece of toast on the inside.On another note, do not recommend for extreme amounts of rain or very *very* high wind. The thing will soak through and if your sizing is even a tiny bit off, proceed to flap around as if calling for a second descent of Christ.

Lightweight and waterproof, packs down very small, perfect to put in your backpack in case of a downpour. The only thing that stops this being a proper hiking waterproof shell is the lack of a wired hood - the hood tends to sag over your eyes and flaps around in the wind which becomes an annoyance when on the hills. Also the zips are not waterproof although I haven't had any real issues with getting wet in this jacket as a result of this.I have also lost a couple of things (beanie hat, dog lead) through accidentally putting them into what looks like the internal mesh pockets - these are not pockets, they are open at the bottom!! So anything you inadvertently put in them drops straight out through the coat onto the ground. By the time you've realised your error.... gone.For the price it's a good item, but invest in something better (Rab, Paramo, Montane) if you are going to hike seriously with only one shell.

Lightweight which is exactly what I was looking for.Does tend to get a little sweaty on the arms though.I should have noted that it came from the US and ordered a size smaller. It's a little too big form me, but does mean it will go over a fleece.Packs away really well, once you realise you turn the pocket from the inside not the outside.Love the colour, different to the Blues, blacks and greys I usually have.

I've now had mine for a year, it failed to keep the rain off after 2 uses in gentle rain. After a proper wash with proper waterproofing products, it worked again for maybe another 2-3 uses before beginning to soak through again. Given the cost of these, I can't honestly recommend it as being good value. I've got much cheaper packaway jackets that have weathered the elements much better for much longer.
