Customer Reviews Marmot PreCip Jacket

Carried/ wire one for years and then bought another to replace it.

I bought this coat in the spring and have only worn it a couple times since we have been in a drought. It did keep me dry. I bought a Large based on the size chart. I'm usually between L-XL, size 12 pants. I'm right in the middle of the measurements for Large. I can zip the coat around my hips but it's very snug. Otherwise it fits me around the chest and top. I'm pear shaped so it can be tough to find something that fits around my hips and isn't too baggy on top. I would not be able to wear this coat over a sweatshirt.

My wife and I keep one of these around for literally everyday use. Is packs away small enough to be our go to jacket for travel near and far.

I used this jacket all summer in Colorado, and it makes a great rain shell to take to the mountain trails. It packs really well and the waterproofing is top-notch. The packable hood is a nice feature, but it made the collar of the jacket a little bit too tall for my taste. It also runs a bit big for its size, but this allows for extra layers underneath.

Good, dependable, light coat. This is my 3rd Precip in 20 years. I did notice the hanging loop has gotten smaller.

I have a Marmot goretex raincoat; however, was heading back East and wanted something lighter. The pre-cip is the perfect weight for summer rains. I love the color selection, as well. My only comment is that it was a 'snugger' fit than I like in a rain jacket. Rain jackets always go over something else. Not sure why it is so fitted. I am 5'3"; 115 lbs with little stomach spread. I ordered the small.

Bought this jacket for a trip to Maine. It worked great for the wind and rain. Nice cut. Werid color, not as bright on website, more of a dull muddy color for the greenish blue one.

Great jacket. Started out as a "nice" jacket, it looks nice, can wear it out to dinner or whatever. After about 6 months or so, its not as waterproof. This may be due to lack of treating, but its never been washed or dried before. In the NW of Washington, we get rain, and enough to quickly show this jacket is not waterproof. Great for running in and out of the rain, but after an hour or so it will get through. For the price though, I'd probably get another one, just keep in mind this is not in the same league as some eVent and Gore-Tex jackets. I wear this jacket to work (electrician) over a sweatshirt when it's cold and have had it 2 years now, with no tears, zipper failures, etc.

The jacket is very durable; I used it when I did some light skiing this past winter. The pockets are easily accessible while wearing and the string adjustments are comfortable. After taking a few spills I was really only wet around my neck area where the jacket is opened up. For the price, it is hard to beat for a good general outdoor outer shell.

Very light, not sure how it handles the rain yet. There is no lining, so it tends to stick to your skin. Overall good value, though.

First time buyer of a breathable rain coat. Got so tired of getting soaked wearing a stupid windbreaker. Took it for a test drive (walk) thru a pretty good rain in about 60 degree weather w/ no wind and sure enough it kept me dry and not sweaty, even when wearing it inside a store. A cool feature is when you shake it out lightly it becomes almost completely dry! But my jeans got wet so I'm going to buy the matching pants. My only complaint is the hood tie system. I went to an outdoor and looked at all of them and literally all of them stink. The pull ties are all hard to find and/or have tensioners that are also hard to find or hard to operate. This jacket has both problems, but it's par for the course for these kinds of jackets. Maybe some company will become intelligent and get ahead of their competitors and come up w/ something that is more user friendly. So 4 stars because of the pull tie weakness.

The jacket itself was lovely. I loved my other Marmot size small so bought another. Sadly, the new cut is just a few inches longer in the past. It hit me at the largest part of my hips and I couldn't close it! I feel like a lot of "outdoor" gear is made to fit very narrow girls. I'm not large enough for plus sizes. Surely I'm not the only woman with hips!

Could use more room in the armpits and a chest pocket and an inside pocket.

I bought this to replace my PreCip and ordered one size larger to accommodate layers underneath and the new one is actually smaller than the one I'm replacing and it's the same brand/style. I can't comment on functionality, yet, and the only other physical difference is that the outer shell feels more thin than my current coat.

It's just a regular rain coat. Nothing special about it. It's a little stiffer than I'd like, but it's ok

Jacket is fine. Shipping took almost a week longer than the "guaranteed" delivery window, which was extremely disappointing.

The pockets aren't waterproof? They're nets? Is this a Columbia jacket? Otherwise the jacket is good

Too narrow and sizing runs small. Would be impossible to wear over other layers.

Good looking jacket, nice fit. Doesn't live up to the hype. Doesn't keep you dry!

I bought this in lavender to replace a Columbia version that was ripped. The fit is snug but some room for a sweatshirt underneath. My only complaint is the front colar comes up to my nose and there isn't any built-in feature to roll it down. The hip is also a bit snug but that is a common wardrobe issue for me. I'm 5'4 185 and purchased the large.

The shell is light weight and packable. The first time that I tried the waterproofing was a four mile urban walk in a steady rain. The jacket performed very well. There was no leakage from the outside and no condensation on the inside. I was very much impressed. I kept the jacket in a bag inside the main compartment of a daypack and used it several times during downpours while hiking. Once at home I would let it dry and the put it back in the pack. It performed well for awhile but like all good thing it came to an end and let's water through the no existent barrier. I don't think there will be another Precip in my future. Too costly for a temporary water barrier.

My wife has a similar medium Marmot jacket that she purchased several years ago. She found this medium jacket to be considerably smaller. Also the jacket's material was noticeably thinner then her exiting one. We returned it rather than exchanging it. Disappointing

This jacket lasted me about a solid year of (mostly) waterproofing, until the fabric and lining began to deteriorate and let water right through. This is a great warm weather shell if you don't mind getting a bit soggy, and is at a stellar price point, but doesn't get the job done in severe weather after a bit of use.

light weight, but arm pit zipper snagged on interior and broke on second use. permanently open now

When I ordered this jacket, I was hoping for something that felt a little heftier. The jacket is very thin and light-weight and makes a great addition to my layering system. In a perfect world, it would be more versatile, but it definitely does the job intended. The jacket does keep out water, but its threshold for oversaturation is pretty low.
