Anyone have an opinion as to whether the Marmot Precip or North Face Venture is better? They both have a greenish color I like-everglade and fissure green respectively-but I can't decide!

I asked myself the same thing when I bought my Precip. What I ended up buying was a Precip jacket and the Venture pants. The jackets have pretty much the exact same features (pit zips, etc.). The fit is also pretty close to the same. I will say that my Precip jacket leaked on occasion when I was abusing it, but my Venture pants didn't. Having said that, the pants didn't get used anywhere near as often or abused as hard, and they did get a tear in one spot where I sat on a rock. So... Fit: about the same Features: about the same Waterproofness: both good Durability: both good Price: about the same Nope, no opinion from me. I've been happy with the pieces I have from both lines. Sorry I wasn't able to be much help for making a decision...
