Description

Packable, waterproof, and outfitted for necessity and comfort.

Pack the Marmot Men's PreCip Jacket as your main shell during ultralight backpacking missions, or stash this highly-packable waterproof jacket in your bag as an emergency layer in case your heavyweight hard shell develops a leak. Minimalist without leaving out any vital fit or finish details, the Precip has a versatile array of features. From underarm venting to full seam taping, and a carefully cut fit that provides full range of upper body motion you'll be hard-pressed to find an excuse to leave home without it.
  • Precip technology uses lightweight dual-coating of PU to create a waterproof-and-breathable barrier to repel water on the outside, and allow sweat and vapor to escape from within
  • Chin guard lined with DriClime puts a soft layer of fabric beween your chin and the top of the collar
  • Angel-Wing Movement shapes the jacket specifically for a wide, free range of motion at the arms and shoulders
  • A double storm flap covers the front zipper and secures with a hook-and-loop closure for added protection from the rain

I have not worn it much but I have loved it when I have! It's incredibly light, I really like that.

Very pleased with the Marmot PreCip jacket, which I wear typically for everyday use and moderate exertion levels outdoors (brisk walking and trail hiking, basically.)

The jacket is generously cut; I wear a 54 Long suit jacket, and the XXL is large enough in the chest and shoulders to accommodate my build. The fabric is reasonably breathable, and the pit zips allow you to shed heat even better.

The one thing I could wish for: an inside pocket, but that's just a quibble. This is a very sturdy, comfortable jacket that works well in the rain, and at a good price.

The PreCip jacket is an excellent value and performs as advertised. Pay attention to the size chart. I ordered a large, my usual size in other jackets, and it was way too big. Returned it for a medium, which is a perfect trim fit but still large enough for layering. Went on a couple of kayaking trips in Florida and the Bahamas and wore the jacket as a shell to break the wind and repel the spray on cool March days. It kept me warm and dry. Light enough to pack or carry easily for travel and adventures.

This is my go to around town when its raining. its light and cuts wind like a pro, but PreCip isnt COMPLETELY waterproof. If your hiking and expect it to drizzle your fine, but steady rain for more than a couple hours without reprieve and you'll get wet underneath. I have a better more heavy duty shell for hiking.

Expect too much out of a cheaper shell and you'll get disappointed obviously.

Really great shell for the money. However I prefer a a more robust hardshell that allows me to snowboard and ski in as well as backpack. Id give it a 5 if it was more breathable, but for 100 bucks it is best in its class.

I hate this jacket! I took it on a weeklong backpacking trip this past summer. It rained for two days on the trip, so I really put this jacket to the test. Epic fail. First of all, the jacket soaked all the way through. Also, it took forever to dry out! We stayed in shelter one of the nights it rained and I was able to hang my wet gear over night. Everything dried out, but this jacket. Even my boots were dry in the morning, but not this stupid jacket. I have other stuff from Marmot, and have no complaints. So maybe I got a lemon with the Precip Jacket. But, I haven't really depended on any of it as much I did this jacket. So my experience with this jacket has ruined the Marmot for me as a whole. My advice, pass on Marmot gear.

Used this jacket once and after about an hour in the rain the shoulders were damp and wetting through. Returned it immediately after that trip. Avoid this one guys.

Am I missing something?

bought a new precip jacket to replace the old one and fount out that the sleeve of new jacket is longer than the older version. Unfortunately the previous one fits me better.

I want to use my precip jacket as wind-proof...

I want to use my precip jacket as wind-proof for winter running. Is it possible? How will the material react to temperatures well below 30 F (-1C). I live in Minnesota and run at low temperatures, often close to 0F (-17C). Thank you for the answer. Helen

As long as you had a good insulating layer under it the Precip Jacket would provide good wind protection for winter running. Its not as burly as some of our winter jackets but I have used a rain jacket much like this one over an insulating layer to ski tour in.

This jacket is great for the first 1-2 years but then the inside starts peeling and its all downhill from there. I work outdoors so good rain jackets are rare. The fit is nice however and for the price, I'm ok with having to replace it every couple years.

Haven't really given it a proper trial yet since it just so happens to be the dry season, but I can say that it's light and comfortable, and a steal at the sale price. Sizing: I'm 6'1, 220 lbs. and broad shoulders. Got an XL, but probably could have managed with just a L for when wearing minimal base layers. But I'm happy with the extra room as it allows more air flow / breathing during the warmer temps (so you don't get soaked in your own sweat while blocking out the rain!) and room for more layers in colder temps. Overall - simple, functional, stylish.

It doesn't breath, but most rain jackets don't. What Marmot does do with the PreCip is reduce the crunchy sounds of material crinkling for hours on the trail until daylight reappears. The material is a lot softer than traditional jackets and really cuts down on noise. Other than that It is a decent jacket, gets the job done. It is lite and packs down small. Other than that a very simple design with great functionality. I wear a medium in most jackets and a medium fits me perfect. For reference I am 5'10" and 166.4 pounds as of this morning.

This is perhaps the most versatile piece of running gear I own. I have used it in 100 mile ultra races, hiking in the backcountry of NC and even while deep sea fishing. The great thing about the jacket is it can keep you warm and keep moisture out makig it great for races where you are moving through various altitudes. When I was looking for a good versatile jacket, a running friend suggested it since he uses it at Hardrock every year. That sold me and I have now bought three of these. The zippers under the arms are great for venting when you start to warm up but need to keep out rain or snow. Defintely worth the money.

It's a light weight and compact jacket. I've been using it for about 3 months, mostly for motorcycling in the rain. Also used it on a trek where it rained for 8hrs. For motorcycling, it's okay. Keeps me dry even in heavy rain, and winds. But those are for fairly short trips not lasting more than 30 mins. On the long trek, it was ok during the first few hours. But at the end of the day, the humidity, the rain, the sweat, it got very damp.
