PreCip Blowout

By msachs Ranked #123 - Men's Rain Pants February 5, 2007

The Marmot PreCip pants seem to get a lot of very favorable press. I purchased both the pants and the jacket, for my primary rain gear and as an insulating base-layer (if required). My initial experience with the pants was not favorable. Although the pants are lightweight, and pack nicely - I'm not convinced that my hiking style and build is ideally suited for the construction and fabric choice used for the pants. After hiking about 20 miles (in rain), I had an actual 'blow-out' in the crotch-area of the pants. Both the coating and the fabric had worn through. The good news was this site stands behind their customers and provided me with a very fast replacement. I have not put the replacement pair through its paces yet - but am currently wearing a slightly heavier and more robust 'Columbia' pair.
