Marmot PreCip Traveler Jacket - Men's - 2008 BCS

whenever anyone asks for a reccomendation on a light jacket or a rain jacket i always say the north face venture jacket...light, cheap, and waterproof...but really almost any jacket will do, you got a golf bag so weight wont matter too much

If you are going to be using it for over a suit then I would definitely recommend sizing up. Yes it would make a good overcoat.

The adjustments come in the form of left and right draw-string loops w/ catches. They are nestled in small triangular pouches located at the base of the hood (front). They sit just above my clavicles. You reach up with both hands and pull down to tighten.

The hood is deep and maintains structure when unfolded yet is surprisingly small when rolled back into the "collar".

From the product description: "A fully-functional, waterproof hood hides inside the smart stand-up collar as downpour insurance". According to Marmot's website there is a drawstring through the hood that you can adjust from the back of said hood.

Thats just the way it is i suppose. You could try a google image search of this jacket and see what comes up.

35".

My GoLite rain coat isn't quite this long but definitely longer than normal. For trail running it's been great!

Both.There are more waterproof jackets out there. This is better than a poncho, but not as good as some MH or Arc'T jackets.

The PreCip Traveler will totally cover your derriere & then some. You should be totally covered.

Hey Spencer, this is going to be a great jacket for ball games, and when it comes to backpacking it is really personal preference. This jacket is going to come down past your butt for sitting. That might be annoying for backpacking ... walking up hill wont be able to take as long strides. Just remember that BC has an awesome return policy. If you don't like it now or in 30 years you can return it no questions asked
