Based on experience with a slightly different Marmot jacket made of the same material (Precip), I'd say this jacket would qualify as sufficiently waterproof for all conditions except extended downpours. My jacket hasn't let any water in during normal hiking, although Precip is a little less breathable than my other Gore-Tex Paclite jacket. The only problems I've noticed with Precip is that it gets waterlogged (the shell fabric is soaked through due to overpowering of the durable water-resistant, DWR, coating) after about 1.5-2 hrs of sustained rain and then the inside layer begins to feel wet.
