      Comments about Marmot PreCip Rain Jacket - Men's:

      This jacket is execellent for the price. My wife & I hiked the Appalachin Trail for 6 months 2,179.1 miles. We bought these jackets in NC and went all the way to Maine with them.

      THEY ARE WINDPROFF AND WATERPROOF!! I've been 4,000ft plus on mountains in 40+mph winds. Heavyrain storms and Freezing Tempetures. 6 months of hiking. There is no where to hide. I think I am qualified to say the jacket works Great.

      MISUNDERSTANDINGS:
      WINDPROOF: Shells are very thin and light. So the inner layers are for you to cusotmize persay. Cold wind blowing will transfer that cold to you fast because the layer is thin, but windproof. You need a fleece, etc.. underneath. You have to learn what works for you.

      WATERPROOF: When you hike or climb for hours in the rain water rolls down your hand and under the cuff to your arms. Keeping your arms down is the only way to prevent this and this will happen with any jacket. Secondly water/windproof = limited breathability. The microscopic holes keep water out and let air out(body heat), but there is a limit and when you reach it condensation happens on the liner. I know that any weather above 35 degrees I can't wear anything more than a polyester technical t-shirt or I will sweat too much while climbing mountain. So, you have to vary your layers according to activity level.

      BREATHABILITY: Well, even if it's GORTEX it has a limit it maybe a little better, but wind/waterproof means it traps heat and air inside which is good in cold weather because due to that it can be light weight and keep you warmer with less.

      Most hikers give up on rain jackets in the summer. You gonna get wet either way!!!If you're gonna sweat with a T-shirt or longsleve shirt on; what do you expect if you put on a rain jacket in humid conditions?

      No wind/waterproof jacket will keep you perfectly dry and this is the conundrum of rain jackets. Get to know yourself and your jacket, adujst layers and it'll preform better.

      If you expect to stay 100% dry, stay home.

      Comments about Marmot PreCip Rain Jacket - Men's:

      I bought this jacket for the occasional damp or semi-wet approach to some of the areas I climb. The fit and water shedding and windblocking properties are pretty good and it performed as expected in these areas. However, whenever the activity level ramps up so does the condensation inside the jacket. The liner on the jacket was so wet after one approach I took it off and had to let it air dry before putting it back on in 40 degree with tons of wind... All in all, low activity levels and it works fine, for any activity that requires some effort it just does not breath well enough.

        Comments about Marmot PreCip Rain Jacket - Men's:

        I have currently five different rain gear tops, for all kinds of activities in all kinds of weather. This jacket is never going to give the performance in terms of rain and wind protection and breathability as a jacket that costs twice as much, such as triple layer Gortex. It is excellent for what it is. Not extreme rain, and not extreme exertion, at a great price. I wear mine night hiking in temps above 38 degrees, in rain butless than monsoons, as well as day hiking and other outdoor activities. I have had mine for a year or so and no issues at all. If the new version has increased breathability and water resistance, so much the better.

          Comments about Marmot PreCip Rain Jacket - Men's:

          REI typically has top notch gear. Not so with this item. First jacket I had leaked in a moderate rain then did not breathe much. I re-waterproofed it according to instructions and lasted a month or two. Returned it to REI hoping to get a non-defective jacket. Second jacket has the same problems. Not waterproof and not breathable. I am not inclined to purchase another Marmot product.

            I own two of these jackets and have worn them often in many activities (walking, hiking, backpacking, rafting) and different weather conditions over the last eight years. They have always kept me dry & comfortable and have proven to be quite breathable, especially when the pit zips are open.

            One of the nice features of the Precip is that it is very lightweight and packable. I've also been impressed by how durable this jacket it is. An incredible value. Only reason I don't give a 5 is that it is about 2" shorter than I would like, but this is true of all jackets in its class.

            Comments about Marmot PreCip Rain Jacket - Men's:

            I really wanted to like this coat since it was my second one. I had never owned a so called "waterproof breathable" jacket before my first one. It worked great as a "rain" jacket and frankly my main need was the "waterproof" factor. On that front it is an excellent jacket. So if you are standing or sitting at a rain soaked football game then it's a great jacket.But as I began to use it in backpacking, hiking and biking, I realized that I might as well just not wear the jacket because I'd still get soaking wet from my own sweat. Since hope springs eternal, and I fell for the marketing tagline of the "New and Improved" version of this jacket and its claims of better "breath-ability", I purchased a 2nd jacket. Unfortunately, it doesn't breath with even the slightest physical exertion. I must therefore assume that "breathable" was the figment of marketing minds. But the eternal optimist in me sustained my quest for "breathable" and eventually I was rewarded when I discovered eVent (In a REI brand jacket)So, if you are looking for the dual function of waterproof AND breathable, then this is not the jacket for you-unless of course you're a "[...]" who never sweats.

              Comments about Marmot PreCip Rain Jacket - Men's:

              This jacket is great at this price point. At first feel, it appears flimsy. Definitely not the same feel as my old Columbia, but it seems to be holding up well to my constant abuse. In the constant downpours here in Florida, I get to stay nice and dry. I haven't experienced any leakage anywhere. The hood is a bit snug, but that's probably just because I have a big head. As some have complained, breathability is a bit of an issue. This is tempered a bit by the pit zips, but when you're at 100% humidity here in FL you can't avoid those issues. Overall it's a great jacket for the price point.

                  I use this jacket frequently living in the wet Willamette Valley, Oregon.

                  I really like the light weight, and breathability.

                  After a couple of years of use the waterproofing wasn't as good as it was. I used Granger 2 in 1 wash (which is recommended by Marmot) and it made my jacket like new again.

                  The best use I have for this jacket is backpacking. I strap it to my pack and if it gets cool or starts to get wet I just throw it on, problem solved.

                  Comments about Marmot PreCip Rain Jacket - Men's:

                  I like this jacket because it is super light and packable, very waterproof, and well put together. It may not be the most breathable jacket out there, but it is pretty good. I have hiked and skied in this jacket in all kinds of weather, and I like it. I have never been wet from rain or snow. If you are working real hard, open up the pit zips, unzip the front, and let the moist air out. Simple compromise. I think it's a good bargain for the price.
