Great jacket!
January 08, 2010
Great lightweight rain/wind jacket. Best price we found on the jacket and we received it pretty quickly. Will definitely order from here again!
Great Travel Jacket
January 05, 2010
If you need to pack light, this is a great jacket for you. It folds up small enough that you never regret bringing it, even if every day is sunny. The hood is a nice touch. Blocks the wind enough to keep you cozy if worn over a sweater. I haven't worn this jacket regularly, so I cannot attest to its durability.
Awesome Jacket
December 27, 2009
I gave this jacket to my boyfriend for Christmas. He loves it. Although it is not insulated, he says that he is still pretty warm in it. It looks great and will definitely serve its purpose. It's a mild, rainy New England day and he just wore it out the door to surf!
Exactly what I was looking for

Not too bulky. Not too heavy. Perfect for a rainy day around town or on a hike. I'm constantly running around and my heavier Marmot was too much - it always felt like overkill and left me sweating unnecessarily. This jacket provides the perfect solution! It'll be my go-to jacket from now on!
Just what I was looking for

I was looking for the same jacket that my husband has for a Christmas gift for my son and this was such a great price I couldn't pass it up.
Great Jacket - passed the shower test
November 15, 2009
Right when I got this jacket I put it on over a long sleeve t-shirt and jumped in the shower with cold water running (hot water would not be fair b/c the jacket is designed to allow body moisture to escape and the hot water or steam might have have passed through). Not a drop of water made it to my t-shirt over a ten minute period of testing the hood, back, front zipper, and arms. I made walking movements as if on the trails, and the seams held the water out like a champ. There are not many rains that I see on the east coast that amount to that much water. I got the solid cayenne color so nobody would miss me in the woods, especially hunters, and during college football season, I get to wear it to rainy Tennessee games without the chance of being in visitor colors. I had another jacket determined to be comparable to the precip(by a company named after a directional side of a mountain, that you would wear if you were on a "venture") that shed water just as well, but this jacket is much lighter and seems to compress much easier for packing. The first jacket was stolen from me while I left it on the back of a chair, but if there was ever a fortunate time to lose a jacket, this was it because I found the precip. I have become a Marmot fan over time because of the quality of their products, and it is getting to where I look to Marmot first for my rec gear needs. Good job on the precip, guys. I heard from other reviews that the older version of the precip may have had some problems, but I'm pretty sure Marmot has fixed those issues with this jacket. It has inner mesh pockets, outer hand pockets, a hood draw-cord, and an overlapping-Velcro reinforced front zipper. And no, I do not work for Marmot. I am just becoming a huge fan. Though, they should pay me because it is getting to where if you see me out, I look like a living Marmot advertisement. Hope this review helps with your decision, as I read through many of the same in making mine.
quality jacket, minimal price

Went backpacking in Virginia' Shenandoah Valley (one of the most beautiful places ever) this past weekend and this jacket passed the test as it poured like crazy for several hours and not a drop of water made it through to any of my other layers. Jacket is very breathable and you can hide the hood when it's not pouring. Very happy with this jacket...and as always, the service from Altrec.
Provides good protection in a lightweight package

The Precip is lightweight, packable, and doubles as a great wind/waterproof shell over an insulating coat. I have been using mine for less than a year, but I have suffered no leaks even in extended periods of rain. The jacket is comfortable and breathes well and the hood closes securely around my face.
Best of all jackets !

I am delighted with my Marmot jacket. It stylish and very well made. I have been using it for my around the town gear. The best recommendation I can make is that I plan to purchase another one very soon.
Great

True to size, keeps me dry in even steady rain. Will buy another for my girlfriend.
Portable jacket that leaves you dry
September 04, 2009
Rugged. Comfortable. Weighs as much as a handful of tissue. Not sure how it would hold up in a full gale, but has kept my dry in light rain. And Altrec's delivery was on the mark.
Great light weight rain cover.

If you can get by the color (weird green on sale), you won't get wet. Very lightweight, exceptionally comfortable, and a good value on sale.
Nice Jacket
June 16, 2009
I've had this jacket over a year now. It has held up well on numerous back backing trips. It fits well, keeps you dry in the rain, & functions as an excellent wind breaker with a fleece jacket underneath. I'm very happy with this jacket.
VERY PLEASED!

Light-weight. Breathable. Totally waterproof. Everything I was looking for in a rain jacket for my husband who works outdoors daily. Highly recommended!
excellent

I am travelling internationally and wanted a lightweight rain jacket. It packs well and performs as advertised. I especially like the air vents to allow air to circulate while wearing this jacket.
The best rain jacket out there!
May 23, 2009
I've used this jacket for years - it's light, easily packable, and does exactly what it's supposed to do - keep you dry in nasty weather. I've bought several for family as gifts as well. My only complaint is that I'm 6'2", and it's a tad short. But this is the best value rain shell on the market, in my opinion.
Great Rain Shell
May 16, 2009
KEEPS YOU DRY - PERIOD. Light weight and packable. Loose enough to fit over fleece but not to large to wear over just a shirt. On the "could be better" side - I would like inside pockets and the Velcro strips on the zipper rain flap snag a lot of things - sort of annoying, but can overlook this because of the great performance in wet weather.
Are you kidding?

So I don't know why others have rated this a 5, i live in Oregon where it rains constantly, and the precip simply doesn't work longer than about 30 minutes in the rain, especially after a few weeks of wear. I have 3 friends with the same jacket with similar results.
Lightweight and works great!

I bought this lightweight shell to stay dry on an upcoming month-long hike and have been taking every opportunity to test it since it arrived on my doorstep. Weather has been rainy the past few weeks in Chicago and I've gotten the chance to see how this great jacket works in light rain as well as an awful downpour. I was surprised that even in the worst weather, it kept me completely dry with no leak-through. It also layers well with my Marmot fleece for good wind protection and warmth. The feature I enjoy most on this jacket is the roll-up hood. I don't like walking around in a hooded jacket when I'm not wearing the hood and having the ability to essentially turn this into a jacket without a hood when I'm not using it gives it extra points. When I do need the hood, I don't even have to remove the jacket to unroll it - Accessibly velcro strap is reachable while I still have the jacket on! Great buy at the price!
perfect travel jacket
May 10, 2009
For anyone who travels a lot and needs that extra backup layer packed away, this jacket is perfect! It's extremely light weight and compactable, and very well made with waterproofing and a fit that would satisfy anyone looking for a solid all-around rain jacket.

Excellent fabric and design. Only shortcoming - no interior pockets.
Incredible shell
April 13, 2009
Light-weight and well ventilated. The fit and cut is as described, great range of movement and sizing is on the mark. Layers well without binding at elbows and shoulders. I highly recommend this to anyone playing in the elements.
the best Jacket

It is perfect for the rain. It fits perfect for my needs. Marmot is an excellent brand.

Top-shelf quality at a great price!! Extremely lightweight, packable and breathable. Cut roomy enough for layering without buying a larger size than is needed.
Great all-around jacket.

Kept me perfectly dry on recent trip to 3 cities in rainy Northwest US. Pit vents kept me from getting too warm. Easy to pack and stuff it into laptop bag. Just as good for weekend hike or streets of Seattle.
Excellent Jacket

May 22, 2008
I bought the marmot precip and have favorable feelings towards it. i like that it offers a full range of motion in the arms. the precip gets two thumbs up.
Great all around jacket
April 13, 2008
Bought mainly for wearing to work or knocking about town but also for some day hiking and outdoor activities. Jacket fits great. I bought a large and usually have to look for tall sizes but this one fit perfectly. It is very lightweight. No problems at all.
Rugged, packable, waterproof, breathable

I just got back from a trip in Ozark wilderness bushwhacking for 3 days with rain everyday and feel like I can give a good review of this product. Jacket performed great and exceeded my expectations. It was snagged on a number of sharp branches and never tore unlike my icebreaker shirt I had on underneath. Never let rain through and the pit-zips are great. Really easy to clean if it gets muddy, just dunk it in a stream and hang it up and dries quickly. Would recommend this product.
Fantastic jacket
March 27, 2008
I bought this jacket for my husband for his birthday and he hasn't stopped wearing it. He loves that it is lightweight, waterproof and he can fit an additional layer under it.
Great Value!

I have been happy with other Marmot purchases in the past and this Precip Jacket is no exception. The quality is top notch and the jacket is thankfully light in weight, designed well and priced right. I was a bit concerned about the Dark Brown color but it's refreshingly plain when many competing products are multi-colored and exhibit an abundance of marginally necessary buttons/cords and zippers.
