I bought this jacket several years ago to replace a rain jacket I had been wearing for years. The jacket fits well, I can wear a fleece under the jacket comfortably. There are zippered vents under the arms, the hood fits well and the pockets are large enough. I took good care of this jacket, when I was working around the yard I wore my old rainsuit. The problem with this jacket is the lining, it didn't hold up well. It deteriorated
I loved the rainproof-ness, strong zippers, fit and look of the jacket but after about 3 years the lining began to rub off and leave crumbs and dust on my clothes, soon after the lining gave out so did the waterproofness. This was used more for daily use and cycling, could be great and last 5+ years with less frequent use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a rain jacket and thought this was a good buy for the sale price. I can't attest to the water resistance yet, but thought I'd throw some pics on for gals looking for insight on what size to order (I scoured the reviews for this because the sizing can be wonky). For ref, I'm 5'3" 170 lbs, 35" waist, 41" hips, 38 DD, and I ordered an XXL. I'm wearing a cropped lightweight hoodie under the jacket and leggings in the pics.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving this new light yet waterproof jacket for bike rides. Replacing an old jacket with a sweet upgrade! I love the sinch cord around the bottom hem. Only thing I'd suggest is maybe a little more form fitting on the hood, it's pretty big and floppy but would still rate this a 5/5. I got the "Copper" colored one so that I'd be better seen at night while riding my bike. Love the color!
I have bought this jacket twice, both XL in Wild Rose. I have lived the color, the fit, the pit zips, and the draw cords on the hood. It is fully waterproof. HOWEVER, within two years of owning, the inner waterproof lining begins to peel and flake out of the jacket, especially around the cuffs and seams. Once the peeling starts it does not stop, leaving bits of white lining all over, and causing the places the lining has fallen out to no longer be waterproof. I thought it might be a fluke with the first jacket, but the exact same happened with the second jacket I purchased as well. For a cheaper jacket, I probably wouldn’t mind, but for the price of the jacket, I expected it to last longer.
Color is as I had hoped. Silvery gray. Very nice for Spring. Fits very well and as expected. It's winter here so I have not worn it at all yet.
I bought this to replace the previous iteration (the non-eco version) of this jacket (which was *perfect* but I left it somewhere). I purchased the XXL size. I have broad shoulders and an ample bosom, so I typically have a hard time finding a jacket that fits. This jacket does zip, but is tighter than my previous jacket in the bust and shoulders, and the pockets are smaller. It’ll do, but I don’t have a ton of room under it for layers. I wish that it had a little more breathing room and the slightly larger pockets. That being said, I haven’t found a lot of other options in my size that won’t leak at the seams within minutes of being out in the rain.
The jacket feels very nice, not as flimsy or plasticky as many others in this price range. I loved the color (I got the orange) and think the jacket looks sporty but also smart enough to wear for rainy days in the city. Unfortunately, the jacket is too fitted for a rain jacket. I'm 160cm and approx 58kgs and ordered an M. It fits more the way I would expect a suit jacket to fit. There was no room in the jacket for layers and it was too tight in the chest and shoulders to offer full mobility. If you want a loser cut either for layering or if you have a full chest or broad shoulders or wide hips I would definitely size up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my PreCip Jacket in September in 2018 and I've worn it for nearly every outdoor adventure since, but you wouldn't know it. From a lightweight everyday rain jacket, to an outer shell for snowboarding, the PreCip has held up very well and has great versatility. When I first received it, I was actually a bit skeptical that something so lightweight would have much function or durability, but it has truly proven me wrong and has become my #1 go-to jacket any time of year.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd time purchasing this same jacket. The first time I needed it for a trek i was taking with my husband in Cusco, Peru - an expedition to find the last Incan civilization (NOT Macchu Picchu) and i left it with a new friend I’d met - a yoga instructor from Lima) who adored it. I’m 5’5 and she’s 5’9 and still, it fit her perfectly, as our weight is about the same. She loved it. Then it happened again. I bought one for myself and wore it to death until it was nearly in rags. So i bought it again - only 1 size up - and it’s PERFECT. I hope to find someone who admires it on me that i end up giving it to and to her so I can buy another one. Thanks, Marmot. xoxo
