Amazon.com Product Description

Need a reliable, full-function rain jacket that excels during your backcountry and urban adventures alike? Turn to the Marmot men's PreCip jacket, which is 100-percent seam taped to ensure a completely waterproof performance. The jacket is extremely comfortable, with patented Angel-Wing Movement technology that allows your arms a full range of motion, keeping your jacket from riding up as you hike. The jacket's PitZips underarm zippers, meanwhile, extend all the way into the body, letting you aggressively vent the jacket to stay cool on the trail. The PreCip even offers slanted chest pockets that can be accessed while you're wearing a pack, so you can easily carry small necessities while out and about. Designed to fit over both fleece and soft shells for added warmth, the PreCip jacket is a great choice for your outdoor adventures.

• Elastic draw cord hem: The adjustable hem is ideal for serious weather conditions
• Roll-up hood: The jacket's full-visibility hood includes peripheral cord adjustments and an integral collar

• PreCip technology: This dry-clip technology is waterproof and breathable

About PreCip Technology
PreCip is Marmot's "next step" technology. It allows the company to construct the lightest, most compressible, technical, waterproof, and breathable rainwear in the world. Ventilated and breathable to keep you dry from the inside, PreCip rainwear has plenty of pockets and custom fit features to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable. The key to PreCip is its barrier technology, a microporous polyurethane that is impregnated with silicon dioxide particles. These particles create small, numerous, consistent holes that allow small water vapor molecules to pass through the barrier but not the bigger liquid ones. This keeps the rain out while letting your sweat vapor work its way outside, away from your body, to keep you dry from the inside as well as from the outside. PreCip rainwear is compressible enough to stuff into a water bottle, and comes in enough colors and styles to travel with you anywhere--to the mountains, the city, or overseas.

About Marmot
In April 1971, University of California Santa Cruz students Eric Reynolds and Dave Huntley were visiting the Juneau Icefields in Alaska as part of a school project in glaciology. It was among their fellow students that Reynolds and Huntley came up with the idea of a Marmot club. To become a Marmot, you had to climb a glaciated peak with another Marmot. To help fellow club members deal with the cold, the pair began to make prototypes of down products in their Santa Cruz dorm rooms, starting with a down vest, a sweater, and a parka, and later branched into sleeping bags. The warmest bag was the PIKA (now known as the Cwm), which was rated at -45 degrees F. In 1974, the pair joined up with Tom Boyce in Grand Junction, Colorado, and opened a rental and retail shop under the name of Marmot Mountain Works.

Through the years, Marmot has passed many memorable milestones. The company debuted its Golden Mantle puffy jacket in the mid-'70s for a Clint Eastwood film called The Eiger Sanction. In 1976, Marmot helped introduce Gore-Tex to the public after testing a number of prototype sleeping bags in frozen meat lockers and under fire sprinklers (with the company founders snugly inside). Now headquartered in Santa Rosa, California, Marmot has offices in California, Colorado, Canada, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Germany. Its products are distributed in 27 countries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice rain jacket, perfect for spring / summer!, May 1, 2008

I received this right as it started a spring downpour for about 5 days straight here. It kept me dry, and was lightweight enough to not be bulky or impede motion. I didn't get a drop of water on me, and the hood was great, you can wear it normally or even put a longer flap out if needed. It is thin, so it seems like it would rip easily, so I'd be careful in dense brush. It is very compact, would fit in another coat pocket or in a small pocket in your backpack if needed, super-compact. Would also fold up into it's own pocket. Dried very fast when I hung it up. Great color choices as well. The only negative I have is that the pockets are a little high, up where some secondary pockets are on my other jackets. True, it also does not breathe that well, but it's a rain jacket...just open the pit zips if you have to step inside somewhere, or just take it off, no biggie, you can practically shake whatever water is left on it off, and throw it in your pack.

I would definitely buy another one (my girlfriend also has one). All around I would give it a high score 9-10/10 because it was exactly what I needed and was looking for for the warm month downpours, and portability. My winter shell is indestructible, but way, way too bulky to take around for the warm months.

3.0 out of 5 stars Suffocate, December 30, 2008

This review is from: Marmot Precip Rain Jacket Mens (Misc.)

I seem to be the only person that does not like their Marmot Precip jacket. The upsides are that it is waterproof and very compact, but the jacket does not breathe at all. The few times that I have worn it I feel very "sticky" inside it, even with the pit zips open. Having my arms sweat even in low temperatures while wearing this jacket is pretty miserable. So I placed this jacket as an emergency rain coat in the trunk of my car...

This jacket is wonderful! It's so light weight and flexible and you can take it where ever you want to go. My husband and I have this jacket and take it everywhere. I recommend this to anyone who wants to keep dry, cause it will sure do the job!
