Marmot PreCip Jacket - Men's
Soaked, Bru

Ranked #723 - Men's Rain Jackets
March 16, 2011
Probably works ok in light drizzle. Brought it on a hut trip in NZ. Got stranded by heavy rain. 10 minutes and it was saturated and clingy. Mesh pockets inside soak it up like a sponge. Riddle me this... Modern SNOW jackets have watertight zippers... This RAIN jacket has clunky plastic zips that leak like a seive. Flaps that cover the zippers only seem to channel water directly onto them. I watched water running out the bottom like a hose. Same pointless flaps on the pit zips. If you're trying to stay dry in RAIN, WTF have gaping pit zips? Could've saved a bunch of weight and bulk with watertight zips with no big flaps.
