Marmot PreCip Jacket - Men's

Item #MAR1893 | 305 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Nice but don't wear a backpack.

By Ranked #1339 - Men's Rain Jackets April 4, 2008

This is a great jacket for high aerobic activities such as running on a windy and wet day. Because it is so light the PreCip is perfect to take along during summer hikes just in case it might drizzle or be windy at the summit. Some reviewers have complained about inadequate rain protection - well this is not a Gore-Tex storm shell so don't expect protection in a torrential rain! My major problem with this jacket is that it is not very abrasion-resistant. The PreCip lining around the neck and waist wore off completely after only a few hours of wearing a very light (essentially empty) 25 L backpack!
