Reliable Weather Protection
One certainly knows what they are getting with the Precip. This is the second time I've purchased one. The previous jacket took me through a rainy trip in AK and lasted a good 2 years of hiking/camping in rainy WA state. Mind you, it's not Goretex, but it is perfect for the walk or hike in light rain. The fit is a little boxy but I like the extra room for layering. The ivory color is true to the pic on the site. I'm looking forward to my rainy morning walks!

Daughter loves jacket & fit
My teenage daughter loves this jacket and she's a fussy jacket person. No complaints here though. Would highly recommend it for other moms who need to find a rain jacket for a jacket picky daughter. It's a winner!

Jacket
The jaqcket is not only stylish, with a beautiful color combination, but the fit is feminine. It's perfect. It's great for rain and wind protection! This is the best looking and great protection garment on the web.

Great protection, looks great too
My girlfriend was looking for a replacement rain jacket. It needed to have a good fit on her small frame, be very water resistant, allow for full motion and look good. She didn't want a piece that was too brightly colored or had that "performance" look. So, in short, all the features, but in a stylish package. The Precip, in black, fit the bill perfectly.

Lovely Rainjacket!
I needed a rain jacket that I could easily stash away in a bag and then whip out once it starts pouring outside and this is just that! I love how their "white" color is actually pearl with a soft very subtle sheen to it. I'm 5'5 and 120lbs and the small fits perfectly.
In addition, I really appreciate the drawstring waist and the little soft cushioning behind the zipper that hits your chin when the jacket is zippered all the way up.
Some ingenious thinking by the marmot designers!
I'm not sad when it rains out cause then I get to wear this beautiful jacket!

Definitely Waterproof
I hate 'waterproof' jackets that repel water for a few minutes and then suddenly are no longer waterproof. This jacket, though, is the real deal. I acutally bought it a couple months ago, but hadn't really put it to the test. Well, recently, I stood in the pouring rain for 3+ hours, and stayed perfectly dry. I was constantly moving, picking up all sort of tree branches and debris, and this jacket proved it's durability. The pit-zips were a huge help in ventilation.
For sizing purposes, I wanted it big enough that I could potentially fit a sweatshirt under it, since there is no insulation. I'm 5'6'', 130LBS and the medium is a great fit. The sleeves come down to my hands (hard to find, I have long arms), and the jacket reaches the top of my buttocks, providing plenty of coverage. It's slightly baggy, but it's not like I'm looking to win a fashion award, I just want to stay dry and comfortable.

awesome jacket
Great jacket,

Fits long in th back like a rain jacket should so when you reach or bend you don't get wet.
Lots of storage
Nothing more you could as k for in a rain jacket

Its a good product from a high quality manufacture. Would recommend to anyone. I really like the color it matches my eyes and everyone comments on the jacket saying "nice jacket is it new." Had a Columbia for many years and decided it was time for something new. This jacket was the perfect choice for me especially considering the price it was a no-brainer! Does what it is supposed to do; its just a jacket! ; )

Good packable rain shell
There are many things I like about this jacket. It packs down small, is very light weight, keeps me dry and blocks the wind well! I have the purple color in size small; I am 5'1' and 120 it fits with enough room for a base layer and a fleece jacket underneath and I still can move unencumbered. The wrists have a good combination of elastic with Velcro tabs to adjust for a perfect fit. The cord at the hem is easy to tighten and loosen on the move.
But I will discuss the things that may make you look at other choices. The hood stowing is not particularly useful, the rolling up and Velcro strap design does not secure it well, it still hangs down some and flops around. I can't do it with the jacket on.
It is fairly breathable but it does get a bit clammy when I am exerting myself.
The pit zips are huge which is great for aggressive heat dump, but it is a one zipper system from bicep down to almost your waist . The holes are just that and have no mesh to keep the material from flapping. I find it hard to close them completely back up without the zippers getting caught/jammed unless I take the jacket off. And even trying to close them part of the way with a pack on is a bit of an awkward struggle.
A personal peeve is the swooshing noise water proof clothing makes. I know most of them do and this one is no exception but I am always looking for quiet clothing as I hike mostly in the woods of the National Parks in my area. This jacket is fairly noisy when moving.
There are two external pockets, I prefer to have a third on the chest.
Yes I would purchase this jacket again as it does what it is supposed to do well. But I will keep looking for the "perfect" rain shell that meets all my personal criteria.

Great Waterproof Jacket
I have yet to test this jacket in a true storm but it's held up very nicely so far though both the sunny days and the drizzly days. I ordered a large and it fits like expected: a little bigger than required but I wanted space to throw a sweater on underneath.
It's a very comfortable jacket and fits a woman's body well. It does have the interesting interior sensation of all raincoat's which I found took a bit to get used to. However, that texture comes from the waterproof lining so it's necessary and not a problem.
I ordered mine in Grape Berry and it's a lovely color. Very vibrant. And I love the rolldown hood and the ease of storing the jacket inside its mesh pocket.
I'm very happy with my choice and I would recommend this jacket.

Wonderful Jacket
I hike 6 days a week so a waterproof rain jacket is important. Many others I have bought were a great disappointment. I am very happy with the performance. I tested it in the shower before we went out on a 2 day hike. The fit is true to size and I absolutely love the zip pockets. Wish I would have purchased this a long time ago.I am 5'5" and weigh 150lbs. I bought this a size up to accommodate other layers for warmth. The shape of the hood provides good coverage and my neck is protected. Staying dry is very important especially in cold weather.

Great Jacket, Great Price
I'm glad I decided to purchase the Marmot Women's Precip Jacket from Altrec.com. I looked at other rain jackets in this price range, and the features were not as detailed or technical as the Precip, which includes pitzips (making it a 3 season jacket), a rain hood (with a bill that you can tuck in if you're doing something more urban), and velcro adjustments where needed most. I would definitely recommend this jacket, but consider ordering a size up. This jacket is definitely cut for a woman's figure.
March 12, 2011
I love this jacket!
This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. RAINPROOF--I haven't tried it in a hurricane yet, but I imagine it will be just fine. comfortable, bright color to cheer you up in the rain, and fits perfectly. I'm a women's size 12, and bought a large. It is comfortably roomy with room for a fleece but fits nicely. All features--zippers, pockets, fit and function of hood are practical and thoughtful. A very good value for the price.

Great Jacket!
I bought this jacket for an all purpose raincoat/wind breaker. It fits great, acts as a perfect shell over a fleece, and always keeps me dry. Very light and comfortable, and easy to pack for trips. I'm 5'2, 105 pounds and the small fits perfectly.

Soccer Jacket
I have found this jacket very, very helpful as a shell during spring soccer games where the weather is very unpredictable. Great for wind and rain protection. Absolutely would recommend this jacket to anyone.
December 5, 2010
Great Jacket
I got this jacket to wear around town on rainy days and it is one of my favorites. I am 5'4" and 137 lbs. and the small fits great. I have worn it on very rainy days and stay dry. Love it!!!
December 3, 2010
Great jacket!
Light weight, easy to store, plus a longer length in back to keep you dry. The red plum color is divine. Yet another great Marmot product.
December 2, 2010
Nice but Short sleeves
I love this jacket for how light it is.. great to roll up and throw in my pack! However, I'm only 5'7" and the sleeves only reach my forearms! I would look for a jacket that was better proportioned for my next purchase.
December 2, 2010
Great rain jacket
This is my second Marmot Precip Jacket. It has seen many miles on the hiking trail plus it is great for running errands on a rainy day. The hood is great as it keeps out the rain but still folds away when not needed. The velcro cuffs are a nice feature, as well. I like color, and there are many beautiful colors to choose from. This jacket is well worth the money.
November 3, 2010
Great fit
Love the style, not boxy fitting like many rain coats. Great quality, what you would expect from Marmot.
October 25, 2010
Perfect Jacket and Perfect Color
I purchased the Grass/Olive Green combination color jacket for my spouse. She loves the color combination and the fit. She says it fits perfectly and has been wonderful for the Michigan fall weather climate. Shipping was very fast. Product arrived within a few days of order, even though we selected regular shipping.

Great Rain Jacket
Very lightweight, fabulous for the rain and fits a little bit big, so consider sizing down.
September 3, 2010
nice jacket, very lightweight
I like this jacket, it doesn't feel like a plastic coat. I bought it for summer rain showers, and it's great. I will say that it has a lot of velcro parts, so parts of it tend to stick to things.
July 30, 2010
I love this jacket
Bought this as a rain shell in a pinch and haven't found a better one. It stands up to abuse, and offers large pit zips for great ventilation. The storm hood is very adjustable. I have very long hair that I wear in a bun, the hood has enough room and the brim sits where it should with my hair up. It's very light weight, almost nothing in my hiking pack and very compressible. I love the pants too!
June 27, 2010
My third Marmot Precip jacket!!
This is the ultimate rain gear (I also have a pair of the pants). My previous jacket is too large after a huge weight loss so I "handed it down" to a family member to enjoy and purchased a new one in the luscious red plum color. I've worn my Marmot in heavy rain, and with the pants, I stay dry all over - even items in my pockets stay dry. I love the zippers for extra ventilation when it's a warm to hot day and raining in southern FL. I wouldn't think of changing brands due to this superb performance.
June 20, 2010
Great purchase!!
I went on a hike in the pouring rain with my friend. She was happy and dry, I was soggy, wet and miserable. She was wearing the Marmot Precip. I ordered one that day and now I am happy and dry too!!!
June 9, 2010
For the price- GREAT!
You can spend much more for a shell, but you won't get a better one for this price! It does everything a more expensive waterproof shell does, without all the bells and whistles. Nothing fancy here; but I didn't want "fancy". I wanted light weight for Spring-Fall rain gear, to fit over hiking and light layered clothes for work or hanging out. It fits the bill. Fit is true to size for layering over light clothes, not heavy Winter layers. I got the "Fire" color and it's super visible in case of emergency in the woods, and low light conditions when you need to be seen. Liked it so much, bought a "tamer" white color for everyday. Overall, great value for the money!

Amazing color and fit
I have yet to wear this jacket, but it fits perfectly. I'm 5'4 and 101 pounds and have a hard time finding jackets that don't make me look pregnant. This jacket is body-fitting but not too tight. The color (fire) is gorgeous. I also appreciate the arm pit zipper which will allow for ventilation on future hikes!

Every Day Jacket
Easy to wear. Never get wet in downpours. I do wish the hood were a little longer in the front.
March 13, 2010
Nice very light weight jacket
The jacket is well constructed and fits me perfectly. It will be a good light jacket for traveling. I love the Red Plum color I bought.
March 10, 2010
Perfect
This jackiet is so cute, and rain won't get through it. I ordered it in red plum after northface failed with the color it sent me, and I absolutely love it. Affordable and durable!
March 10, 2010
Great quality!
I bought my first Marmot jacket a few years back for a hiking trip. It was extremely durable and kept me completely dry in the soaking rain! I'm sure it would have lasted me for years, but I ended up giving it away to a cousin. I finally bought another one for myself, and I can't wait to wear it!

Marmot Women's Precip Jacket
I absolutely love this jacket. I have always been a fan of Marmot products and would highly recommend this or any of their jackets. They are true to size, look great and feel great as well.
February 15, 2010
Great Rain Jacket
I bought the Precip jacket for my daughter and she is really happy with it, her cousin owns one also, and beyond it being a great rain jacket, they love the fact that it comes in so many colors. I also own a Marmot jacket and am very happy with it!
February 15, 2010
Recommended!!!
I really love this jacket a lot! I do outdoor educational work on an island that can get quite a bit of rain at once and this jacket has proven to be wonderful!

Great jacket! Comfortable, easy to layer. Especially like the collar fit and feel and the fact that you can tuck in the hood if you want to.

Travel necessity
My first time out with this jacket was a trip to the Cliff Walk in Newport, RI. It rained the entire day but this jacket performed like a champ. My pants were soaked but the rest of me stayed dry. The pit-zips really helped control body temp. The jacket fits well and packs easily. It's perfect for travel.
November 26, 2009
Wonderful
I bought this jacket for my daughter in college. She absolutely loves it. She has plenty of room to layer clothes underneath if needed and still be comfortable. She has to walk all over campus even on rainy days and the jacket has kept her dry and warm. I would highly recommend. It is stylish too! My other daughter now wants one!

Good product with excellent handling
Prompt and organized sales process
October 14, 2009
Great Price / Perfect lightweight Jakcet!
This is a great lightweight jacket that you can layer clothes underneath and not get overheated throughout the day while running errands! It really keeps you dry and the I love the visor part on the hood, it keeps the rain from getting in your eyes.
October 12, 2009
Perfect for walking the dog!
I wanted something waterproof I could wear when walking the dog and this jacket is perfect! I stay completely dry. Water just rolls right off it.
October 6, 2009
Very happy with my jacket
I really like this jacket. The sleeves are long enough for my arms and the length of the jacket is perfect. The side vents are also very helpful when the weather is warmer.
August 29, 2009
Great fit
This jacket is a great fit. It's lightweight and easy to carry. I will be using it on a hiking trip in case we run into rain.
August 25, 2009
Awesome Jacket
LOVE this jacket! I got mine in Tamale (great color) three weeks ago & have used it every chance I get. Great fit, great price, and great website. I found that it runs true to size, so no need to guess when ordering. Thanks Altrec!
August 22, 2009
great jacket -- not as light as expected
This is a fantastic jacket -- it survived it first storm with no leaks! It is well fitted, not bulky, and it has the right amount of bells whistles. The M fits perfectly for my 5'6"/140lbs, a little loose over a tank top and fine over a fleece or sweater. However, it is not a light summer jacket. It is a little warm to wear while really active, and it is certainly hot for the NC summers. I look forward to using it more in the coming months when it cools off.
August 20, 2009
Great price, nice color selection, good build
I love the color selection Marmot offers. The fit seems true to size, and the jacket is quite lightweight, making it very packable.
August 11, 2009
Awkward Fit
I really liked the colors, the material and the style. But there was something awkward about the way the pit zips fit.
August 11, 2009
Excellent Jacket
so much easier to use than an umbrella while dashing around town.
July 30, 2009
Great Jacket
I really like how packable this jacket is, but the best feature of the Precip Jacket is how high quality and easy the main zipper works.
July 29, 2009
A Great Classic!
A great, lightweight rain jacket. I've had a few of these jackets over the years, and think the current rendition is perfect. Fit seems pretty true to size or maybe slightly generous.
July 24, 2009
bought this for walking/hiking
This jacket might rate 5 stars, but I haven't field tested it yet. The fit is fine. I got an XL because I dislike form-fitting clothes (I'm overweight in the torso, and want to have the option of wearing a warm layer under the jacket). I'm average height. The arms are cut relatively long. The length covers my butt, but is short enough not to interfere with the leg movement mountain hiking entails. I like the jacket's features and the attention to detail. It fits easily into my lumbar day pack. The color I chose was well represented on this website/my computer. This is the first Marmot garment I've purchased, and I'd do it again. By the way, I've ordered online here several times --Altrec's service is superb.
July 22, 2009
Great for international travel
This coat is perfect to pack in your backpack when you are trying to travel light. The coat keeps you dry and can be worn on a rainy day or even on a slightly chilly day to keep you warm. I ordered a small and usually wear size 4 or 6 in women's clothes and it fits great.
June 29, 2009
Great for Hiking/Camping
I booked a vacation to Peru which included a 4-day hike and camping through the mountains/jungle during rainy season. This jacket provided great protection. I ordered a small, and it still provided enough room to wear a sweatshirt underneath. Whenever it was too humid, I was able to open different zippers to allow ventilation (the "PitZips"). The large pockets fit all I needed (small flashlight, tissues, wallet, etc.), and whenever it rained, it kept me pretty dry. It's very lightweight, and easy to fold and fit into your bag.
June 27, 2009
Dry, contoured fit but not 'fitted'
This is a dry shell not a "keep warm" shell, if you want to keep warm you need layers under it. I have thin arms, a not-thin belly, and I dislike contoured or fitted clothing. The jacket runs true to size, but a bit slender in the arms, not fitted, but not relaxed either. I did not buy a size up, mine looks like it would not fit a fleece vest beneath it, but it does barely. To achieve a relaxed fit with a medium-thick fleece vest, sweatshirt or sweater I would buy a size up. The pit zips let you know they are there, but not uncomfortably so. When they are unzipped at exactly (only) the pit the arm fit becomes more relaxed. This is a really nice jacket.
June 14, 2009
casual rain jacket
Very nice light material. Good fit not bulky. I use my Arcteryx rain jacket for more pyhsical activites, like biking and climbing. But I love this jacket for more stylish casual wear around town.
June 3, 2009
Awesomely waterproof; great online store
I bought this jacket so I could finally have something waterproof for walking the dog, picking up groceries, doing normal city things I need to do each day without a car... It's awesome! Even in the Washington, DC, humidity I never feel stuffy; the zippers let in just the right amount of air. It's great for bike riding and just being out around town while it's raining! Just made it through a very rainy April and was dry as a bone! Got it in Raven, a really nice shade of brown.
May 20, 2009
exactly what i wanted
Very light but nice and waterproof.
May 19, 2009
Nice lightweight jacket
My body measurement/style is as follows: Height: 5'3 Weight: 112lbs Inseam: 29" True Waist: 27" Hips: 36" (narrow hips, larger seat) I ordered a size Small and it fits perfectly even the leg length. It is unlined and has a bit of a "plasticy" feel on the inside but overall I am pleased. The Raven color has a rust color inside collar and the entire jacket is white/gray on the inside.
May 15, 2009
Great rain jacket
Great jacket, super tapered fit with room for a sweater or fleece if needed underneath. Love the weight, perfect to throw in your suitcase or an overnight bag. Not just a boring boxy rain jacket. Got shipment super speedy---love it!
May 15, 2009
Well-made, great fit and fast shipping!
I bought this for a trip to Alaska this summer, so I haven't been able to test its water resistance yet. But it's very well made and has beautiful, rich color (I bought purple berry). I'm 5'2, about 115 pounds, and bought a Small. It has a slimming fit and still has room for layers. Buy it!
May 14, 2009
Great Product
I ordered this for my daughter's birthday. She loved the way it fit and that it was the perfect weight for a spring jacket...even when it isn't raining.
May 4, 2009
awesome coat, didn't like color
Thought the Willow color would be darker, when I got it it was too pastel for me.
May 2, 2009
I Get So Many Compliments
This Marmot Women's Precip Jacket is fantastic. I get so many people commenting on the color (Lemoncello) and the style. It fits my needs, my look and my wallet.
April 6, 2009
excellent
LOVED IT! WITH LAYERS, ITS LIGHTOWEIGHT AND THE INSIDE CLOSURES KEEP SHIRTS TUCKED IN FOR WARMTH!
January 18, 2009
Absolutely fantastic...
I just got my jacket and the fit and style is perfect. I have yet to try it out but I am so pleased with the way it looks and feels! I can't wait to go test it out in the rain. I am confident it will fulfill all my expectations.
January 8, 2009
Perfection
Awesome waterproof shell. Classic styling, soft material, great choice of colors and sizes. Thumbs up!
November 10, 2008
Perfect Jacket...
For cool weather. This is a great shell that keeps you very dry. One needs to layer if needed for warmth! True to size and nice style.
July 7, 2008
Fantastic!
This is my second Precip jacket, and I couldn't be happier with it. I took it camping in Baja for 3 months, and it kept me dry the whole time!
June 18, 2008
Great Jacket!
I bought two of these, one for me and one for my girlfriend and we both loved them. I would suggest going a size up because the jacket is very light and I ended up wearing a fleece under it when it got cool out.
March 31, 2008
Perfect rain jacket
I wanted a rain jacket that I could layer on colder days and wear alone in the summer, and this jacket does the job perfectly. It's fitted enough that it looks nice but I can also fit a sweatshirt underneath. It's completely waterproof and very versatile.
March 30, 2008
Great Jacket!
Just got back from Portland where it rained every day for the 10 days I was there... SO glad I had this jacket... kept me nice and dry!
March 17, 2008
Waterproof and stylish!
I wore it yesterday as soon as I got it over my TKA 200 by North Face and I loved it. It was really waterproof and windproof. I loved it. Plus, Altrec's shipping is the best.
February 12, 2008
Women's Precip Jacket
Great jacket, not just for wear in the rain! Perfect for a cool dry day, too. Runs a bit small all around, I would order a size larger if you plan to wear over anything heavier than a cotton shirt.
February 8, 2008
really waterproof!
used it when I did the hoh river trail in september... they get 12 ft of rain a year there! I stayed dry! great value.
