| The biggest factor for me is light weight and compressibility. I love the fact that I can fit this thing in my camelbak and barely notice it's there. I’ve weathered a few pretty nasty storms in this jacket, and have always stayed dry. The breathabillity could be a little better, but all in all I think this is a great jacket for a good price. |

| I am very pleased with this jacket; as usual the unbiased views and comments made by your web-site enabled me to select this jacket with ease. The jacket really stands up to its name, recently on a trip to the Smokey Mountains it kept me comfortable and dry on a very wet weekend. Definitely Recommended. |

| The Marmot Precip Jacket lives up to its hype. I am very pleased with its construction and comfort. The pit zips provide great ventilation while involved in any outdoor activity. I purchased the electric blue even though it looked more like a baby blue on the website. Fortunately, I like this shade of blue better than the baby blue pictured. |

| I bought the PreCip Jacket about a year ago while in Colorado for a week. I liked last years’ colors a bit better but still am impressed with this years’ model. However, I bought a large when I should have gotten a medium. I am 6'3'' tall and weigh 173 lbs. I ended up selling it to a friend and buying a medium TNF venture jacket which I like equally as well, enjoy! |

| Nice but don't wear a backpack. 04-04-08 |

| 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! |

| Very Good But Not for the Severest Weather 09-20-05 |

| The Precip has worked superbly in moderate rainstorms of a couple hours duration. I especially like the hood fit and pit zips. However, I just got back from 2-3 weeks on a river in Western Alaska where storms hammered us with a combination of high wind and rain (and cold) for all but one day. Although the Precip did pretty well, there were times when the relentless storms were starting to take their toll. I sensed that I was losing waterproofness below the elbows on the sleeves (despite the very good wrist closures) and in a couple other areas. My group did not expect to encounter such harsh conditions (4 previous river runs in the area in late August/early Sept had been OK). If I were anticipating such continuous wind and rain, I'd buy one of Marmot's heavy-duty, multi-layer expedition grade rain jackets. |

| Works well, not durable 01-23-08 |

| 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.

| I too was lured to this jacket by the tiny pack size, low weight, and very reasonable price. Seemed too good to be true. Well, it is. This jacket will protect you from minor storms at best (when new). I have one that is 3 months old, basically sitting in my pack until the snows came, very little to no wear. Well, this week the snow came in hard during a night hike. Wet, heavy stuff that falls fast and melts on you just as fast. "No Problem", I figure as I zip on my PreCip. Within 15 minutes of heavy, wet snow (about an inch on our pack covers), the shoulders and hood were totally wet out, and leaking badly. Skip this for anything but casual, summer use. You can't afford to be in the winter backcountry with an inferior, leaking shell such as this! |

| I do a ton of hiking and trail running and this jacket fits the bill. got caught in a summer downpour last week and the jacket performed as it should. Lite weight with huge pit-zips to regulate temp. Super easy to pack as well. Love it |

| Jacket is great even in warm weather!! Love the pit zips!! I would REALLY like to see them add another 2 inches to the length. (another once?) I only use a full rain suit on exposed ridges and in real extended downpours, so another 2 inches would help keep pockets and butt dry in lighter rains on sheltered trails with regular pants or shorts. |

| I bought this jacket in December and it served me nicely through the winter. But in the spring I discovered that it is not waterproof at all. After first small rain
I got all wet. I've talked to my friend who also has the Precip Jacket and he has exactly the same problem.
It seems to me that this jacket should not be marketed as waterproof, in the best case it is just a very expensive windbreaker. |

| I bought this because I knew I would need rain gear. It had gotten numerous positive reviews so I was fairly sure that it would work well. I turned out to be wrong. This jacket works okay in very light rain, but then again so does a windbreaker or a t-shirt. I took a ten minute walk in moderate rain, under trees most of the time and by the time I got to my destination the jacket was soaked through at the shoulders and the arms. In its favor it does breathe very well but I would rather have it shed water worth a crap. On a less serious note, the sizing sucks. I am a tall skinny guy and I got a small and the thing is gigantic on me. I know that rain gear is supposed to fit loosely but I can fit my backpack under the thing with room to spare. Despite being huge on me, the arms are too short so they are constantly riding up if I need to lift my arms to reach something, even with the cuffs tightened as much as possible.
So in short, save your money and buy something more expensive that will do the job better. Or buy a cheaper Red Ledge jacket that will actually do its job, albeit while not breathing at all. |

| I have had this jacket for about a month now and have used it in Iowa for part of March and April. It has been great! It does just what the item description says. It packs down small and still offers great protection. I got it really muddy biking the other day and it cleaned up wonderfully. It’s very waterproof and breathes as well as any. The only drawback is that with just a short-sleeve shirt the sleeves of the jacket can be cold on your skin. My solution is a dry-fit or similar long-sleeve shirt. I carry one with the jacket all the time now. It doesn't add much weight and it helps get sweat off your skin so it can breathe out through the jacket. I would recommend it. |

| The Marmot PreCip lives up to all the high ratings it's gotten. Back from a hostel trip in Europe, I loved the lightweight confidence it gave me in all types of weather. From steady rain to cool wind at midnight on the top of the Eiffel Tower, I was comfortable and well protected. The pitzips were also a plus during some of the warm days. |

| ok...this may be over the top, but for those of you purists into form and function, be warned that the inside of the collar is an obnoxious royal blue (not shown), at least in the black color.
It's a great jacket though. |

| I bought this jacket a couple of weeks back and could not be happier. It came just in time for all the rain we have been having here in the Midwest lately. This jacket is incredible light weight and i am sure could pack into any tight space you could find. It fits really nice and I can personally say it water proofing is spot on. |

| I have three of these jackets they are the best rain/ wind jackets out there for the price. This one is replacing a 3 year old that is flaking around the neck and wrists but still is water proof. Can't go wrong with this jacket 5' 9" 165lbs lg fits good with lots of room. |

| I purchased this jacket to replace a Gore-Tex jacket that had seen a long life of 10 years. So far this jacket can do anything that jacket did. I have always been a big boy and gained a lot of weight due to medication(52 chest and 46 waist). It makes it hard to find good clothing for people who are large but active. This Jacket fits great, has been exposed to the midwest spring storms and held its own, 45+ MPH winds, rain, Tornado warnings, and temps to 35F.
Scotland next month and we will see how it handles the highlands and north sea |

| Jacket kept me dry through 2 days of solid rain in the Smokies. Water seems to bead up nicer on the Precip than it did on my old MH Epic jacket. This jacket could be improved if the hood was a little bit smaller (seems to keep falling off even w/ the cinchcord) and the breathability could also be improved.
Overall, the precip is a great 3 season, lightweight, rain jacket, but if you have the dough a jacket that uses Gore-tex Paclite might be the way to go. |

| I'VE NEVER GOTTEN WET IN THIS JACKET! I've used it for everything- Backpacking, hiking, climbing, low altitude mountaineering, ice climbing, and skiing. I've been in whiteouts, torrential down pores, and just about everything else with this jacket. The fit is perfect. (I'm about 6'1 average build and wear a large) Breathability is great, pit zips give adequate venting, and it is helmet-compatible. Despite numerous run-ins with jagged rocks and sharp branches I've never torn it. Totally worth every cent and more. If you don't want the bulk and price of a comparable Gor-Tex shell this is the one to own. |

| This jacket will keep you dry. Period. I have worn this shell for several years and it still works well. I live in the Smokies, a temperate Rain Forest, so this jacket is tested often. Last summer, I climbed Mt Rainier in this jacket. It rained the whole time we were under the clouds, but I managed to stayed dry!
I don't know what it would take to 'need' a more expensive/'better' jacket, but chances are you don't.
Bottom Line: Save yourself some money and stay dry doing it. |

| Overall the jacket is what I was looking for. Two suggestions, (1) have inside pockets. I thought there were inside pockets until I tried to use what I thought was one and my phone fell through to the ground. (2) I would like more than one hook-and-loop strip that holds the hood in the rolled up position. |

| The other reviews are accurate. This jacket keeps you dry and packs up small. The only flaw I found is that after five months of intensive use (thru-hiking) the inside began to delaminate. Great over all. Durability wise... you'll need to buy a new one after using the PreCip every day on a long hike. |

| Obviously, this jacket is sweet for the rain, and it does what it needs to do. There have been days riding my bike to class in the pouring down rain that I have thanked Marmot for making such a quality jacket. |

| Two too many VELCRO®-Brand fasteners 09-13-06 |

|
| I used the jacket for the first time on a nine days backpacking trip from Piute Pass trailhead to Chalfant Lakes at the end of August 2006. It didn't rain, but I wore the jacket in the morning and evening. All but one campsite were above 11,000 feet. I found the VELCRO®-Brand fasteners on the pockets irritating and so unnecessary (the pockets have zippers). The main zipper snagged regularly (once or twice a day). My old and heavier jacket has a more substantial main zipper. Never snagged. Still, I appreciated the weight saving of this jacket over my old one. |

| Marmot PreCip lives up to the name and raises the bar. Monsoon season in Japan is no joke. Sideways rain doesn't penetrate this shell. I highly recommend a breathable long-sleeve underlayer to act as a barrier between your sweaty arms and the jacket. Only thing missing is an inside chest pocket. Great product! |

| I paid 50 bucks for this on the outlet site. I figure the jacket is worth at least that, and even more. The black one has blue trim, and zipped in with my north face mountain light jacket. Its thin, lightweight, and fashionable... for a rain jacket =]. Would recommend to a friend |

| I like this jacket... bought it at LL Bean. Keeps the rain out... but also keeps the sweat in! For extended periods of time... you probably couldn't tell if I had worn a jacket or not. If you wear it wear a long sleeve tee or shirt that wicks the sweat.
Size is good. I'm 5'11" 215 lbs big guy... broad chest lift weights play soccer but look like I play football. I bought a large could wear an XL but wanted the tighter fit.
Aside from that I'm happy... even more so since I bought it with a gift certificate so who can complain?
