Travel necessity
November 26, 2009
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.
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!

Fast delivery, great price, and beautiful jacket.
Great Price / Perfect lightweight Jakcet!
October 12, 2009
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.
Perfect for walking the dog!
October 06, 2009
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.
Very happy with my jacket
August 29, 2009
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.
Great fit
August 25, 2009
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.
Awesome Jacket
August 22, 2009
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!
great jacket -- not as light as expected
August 20, 2009
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.
Great price, nice color selection, good build
August 11, 2009
I love the color selection Marmot offers. The fit seems true to size, and the jacket is quite lightweight, making it very packable.
Awkward Fit
August 11, 2009
I really liked the colors, the material and the style. But there was something awkward about the way the pit zips fit.
Great Jacket
July 29, 2009
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.
A Great Classic!
July 24, 2009
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.
bought this for walking/hiking
July 22, 2009
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.
Great for international travel
June 29, 2009
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.
Great for Hiking/Camping
June 27, 2009
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.
Dry, contoured fit but not 'fitted'
June 14, 2009
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.
casual rain jacket
June 03, 2009
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.
Awesomely waterproof; great online store
May 20, 2009
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.
exactly what i wanted
May 19, 2009
Very light but nice and waterproof.
Nice lightweight jacket
May 15, 2009
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.
Great rain jacket
May 15, 2009
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!
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!
Great Product
May 04, 2009
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.
awesome coat, didn't like color
May 02, 2009
Thought the Willow color would be darker, when I got it it was too pastel for me.
I Get So Many Compliments
April 06, 2009
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.
excellent

LOVED IT! WITH LAYERS, ITS LIGHTOWEIGHT AND THE INSIDE CLOSURES KEEP SHIRTS TUCKED IN FOR WARMTH!
Absolutely fantastic...
January 08, 2009
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.
Perfection

Awesome waterproof shell. Classic styling, soft material, great choice of colors and sizes. Thumbs up!
Perfect Jacket...
July 07, 2008
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.

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!
Great Jacket!
March 31, 2008
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.
Perfect rain jacket
March 30, 2008
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.
Great Jacket!
March 17, 2008
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!
Waterproof and stylish!
February 12, 2008
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.
Women's Precip Jacket
February 08, 2008
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.
really waterproof!
January 10, 2008
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.
