Marmot PreCip Jacket - Men's
Works well, not durable

Ranked #111 - Men's Rain Jackets

The good: It is waterproof (while it lasts). Just renew the DWR from time to time to retain what little breathability it has. It is light and compresses well.
The bad: It doesn't breathe well (the people who complain they got wet while wearing it were likely wet from their own sweat, not because the Precip leaks -- it doesn't). The parts that touch against your body will eventually delaminate from your sweat and start leaking -- it took two years for this to happen with my Precip, but it's history now.
Such are the compromises of an ultra-light jacket. At least it's cheap.
