Customer Reviews Marmot PreCip Jacket

This is the best jacket of this type I have ever owned. Quality is perfect. I rate this jacket 5 stars.

I bought this jacket to my husband and he absolutely loves it!!! He wore it every day and he work outside most of the time, so it works!

I saw my mother with a similar jacket for use in light (not too cold) weather. This serves perfectly to keep me dry and looking good. Not much else to say about a simple product.

I have always wanted a light, waterproof jacket for the summer, but the quality names (Marmot being high on that list) were a little too expensive to justify. I got a gift card from work and figured I'd bite the bullet on the rest, but Zappos had the exact jacket I've coveted on sale! Short version of the rest of the story is that it's exactly what I expected. The second day after I received it, the weather took a typical Fall turn. In fact, I found myself in a situation where it was raining pretty hard and I needed to walk to a restaurant for lunch. My pants got wet, but my upper body was completely dry. I also tend to overheat pretty easily, so I didn't want a typical rain coat; I needed something that breathed. I could tell in this one trek that I'd never have a heat problem in this jacket. With the hood up and the cuffs tight, I could barely tell it was on, aside from the fact that I wasn't getting wet. My only issue is that one of the velcro tabs on the front flap was only partially sewn, but I should be able to stitch that myself without compromising the integrity of the jacket. All told, I can see why these are at the retail price. It's a technical garment that does exactly what it advertises. Getting it shipped to me for almost half that price was an unavoidable deal. On top of that, I had a question about how to use my gift card, so I tried the Zappos online chat option. I got top-tier service (as usual) and more. In summary, if you're researching lightweight, waterproof jackets suitable for warmer, inclement weather, the Marmot Precip will show up in most lists of top options. Having worn it for nearly a month in a number of different weather conditions, I'd put it at the top of my list.

This jacket is just right. Functional, comfortable, nonintrusive and, may I even say, understated elegance? Yes.

Marmot Precip - I bought this jacket to replace a 5 year old Marmot Precip which is getting pretty grubby. The light weight and packability is a big plus for me, as I've found that I usually spend more time with it in my pack than wearing it. The new jacket seems to be made a little nicer than the old. I hope it serves me as well.

Men’s Marmot Precip - Lightweight, waterproof, sufficiently long (especially the back), breathable, & a windbreaker. Perfect for hiking & traveling. A hi-tech upgrade to my 10 year old Patagonia waterproof jacket.

I loved this jacket until I was doing field work in the rain last weekend. It's the first time I wearing the jacket out in rain for that long. (I've had the jacket for two years) About three hours into the work (in steady rain), my shirt under the jacket began to get wet all over. Other times when I've worn it in rain for shorter periods of time, it worked perfectly.

Long - shoulders are narrow. Built for a tall, thin guy, no deltoids.

A very solid jacket. The collar was too tall for me, but that might be a personal preference. I felt like it was coming up over my face.

pack it simple, bring it without any effort, it is a valued buying

My second Marmot rain jacket. Fits great, looks even better. Really flattering.

The rain gear that I purchased speaks for itself but the management that claims that the "STRIVE" to keep customers happy leaves a lot to be desired.

Love the pit zips + rollaway hood, wish it was lighter

I needed a rain jacket and thought this was a good buy for the sale price. I can't attest to the water resistance yet, but thought I'd throw some pics on for gals looking for insight on what size to order (I scoured the reviews for this because the sizing can be wonky). For ref, I'm 5'3" 170 lbs, 35" waist, 41" hips, 38 DD, and I ordered an XXL. I'm wearing a cropped lightweight hoodie under the jacket and leggings in the pics.

I have not tried it in rain yet. Its for my wet running days. Fits well like all Marmot products do. I have been a Marmot buyer for years and love their selections, quality and prices.

It fits nicely. I'm not sure I would buy it again though

I like the color but noisy due to material. I have some room to layer but not a ton. I got the small. I am five feet five and 120.

great jacket. light,packable and kept me dry over a recent trip to british isles.

Purchased the PreCip Eco Jacket and finally had the chance to use it when a tropical storm came our way. The jacket kept me nice and dry but there was one thing that I was disappointed about. There is no inside pocket. I thought there was when I first looked, in fact I put my parking stub in what I thought was the inside pocket only to discover it had fallen on the floor about 5 minutes later. Thank goodness I saw it or I would have had to pay the full 24 hour parking cost even though I was only parked for about an hour. I realized that what I though were inside pockets were in fact, the pockets for the outer pockets. Why didn't you sew the bottom of one of the outside pocket liners to the jacket then it could double as an inside pocket. Basically this jacket only has two pockets, both on the outside where your hands would go. I think I'm like most people and prefer an inside pocket for things like phones, parking stubs, that sort of thing. I would recommend this jacket if you don't need an inside pocket.

I bought this jacket to replace a PreCip that I had for over 10 years. That one was tired and starting to peel on the inside. Got my money's worth for that one. The new one is pretty much exactly the same. Fits the same. I again bought a L (5'9"/175), so I could wear a vest or light puffer underneath. My only complaint is that the new one doesn't come with zipper pulls like the last one. Makes it a bit more difficult to unzip both jacket and pockets if you're wearing gloves or a backpack. Can't imagine those little pulls cost more the a dollar, if that, for main and pocket zippers.

Bought this jacket for my husband in Black about 4 years ago. Nice material, waterproof and great to just have to travel. My only issue is that the white lining is wearing out in areas and is visible around neck area so can no longer wear.

Replacement for 10 year old precip jacket. Did the job well waterproof and wind proof. Wish they had kept the zipped pocket in the sleeve but overall very good buy. I use for hiking as top layer. Recently in Zion , Bryce (November) in 20/30 F weather

Bought two of these jackets for myself and my husband prior to heading away on a hiking vacation that was predicted to be a bit wet. (News flash - it was a LOT wet). The jackets kept us very dry from all of the rain, protected us from the wind, easily packed down for storage in it's own pocket. Our only complaint was that there were no ventilation chambers/holes included in the jacket design so that the breathability was only through the fabric itself. So, while we stayed wet from the rain, it trapped quite a bit of body moisture underneath while we were trekking all over VT. So, if you're less active, this is a great jacket for you! If you're more active or if you are "naturally more moist than the average bear", you're going to avoid zipping it up which makes it less effective.

Jacket is perfect for raining weather. I find the hood too large or I have yet to figure out how to adjust it. When hood is under collar is a bit bulkie
