Customer Reviews Marmot PreCip® Jacket Tall

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.

I ordered the medium tall (I'm 6'6", 175lbs and thin) and it fits great. I can still wear some layers under it. But this jacket is not waterproof. I would say it is only water resistant. If its sprinkling outside this jacket is great. If there is a quick short lasting torrential downpour this jacket is great. But anything in the prolonged wetness will saturate this jacket quickly. For being so expensive and claiming waterproof I really expected it to keep me dry. I guess you have to buy the really thick ugly raincoats to actually keep all the wetness off. I did my research before buying and read lots of reviews and only came across one other that said it was not waterproof but I bought it anyways because of all the other reviews saying that it was waterproof. It's not. Live and learn.

I really like this rain jacket, except for in the rain. It only takes a few minutes in the rain and it starts to soak through. Bummer!

I've had this jacket for 6 years (bought in 2017) and have taken it on many backpacking trips and even into the snow. The jacket is well designed, but the delamination (inside fabric coating) from normal wear and tear is disappointing. The inside lamination of the fabric started to flake off after 5 years. In my experience, i was very happy with the jacket for the first 5 years, but afterwards the delamination becomes so frustrating and messy that I don't wear it anymore and finally threw it away today (6 years total usage) :[

I got this jacket for walking and cycling in rain. In light rain, it soaked through while walking. In light-moderate rain, it soaked through while biking and while walking. I haven't tried in heavy rain because it clearly won't hold up and now I just have a jacket I'll likely never use. Heartbroken.

I purchased the Men's PreClip Eco Jacket because I have the same jacket for a few years and really liked it. It was light weight and the hood rolls into the collar, so it looks and functions as a wind breaker when it is not raining. Perfect for travel. Over time, the inner lining worn out, so I purchased what is supposed to be the same jacket. However, now the jacket is made in another country and the jacket shell is a very thin, very shiny plastic look and feel. The quality is much lower. I advise looking at the better-quality Marmot rainwear even if it means having a hood that always shows or look at other brands.

The jacket seems to be of decent quality but the sleeves are too skinny for layering underneath, as is the feminine cut at the waist. If you are model thin, this would be a good jacket for you. I am 5'3", 128lbs, evenly proportioned, toned but not muscular. The medium was impossible to layer a thin fleece under. The large was a little better but the sleeves were still too skinny for comfort in bending at the elbow, and that's with a thin fleece not thick. And the cut of the feminine waist with a thin fleece underneath made getting getting into the pockets uncomfortable. Why are all the major outdoor brands catering to models now instead of athletic women who hike and backpack? They used to. What happened?? I'm not talking about just this jacket but also technical jackets for those specific purposes. I'll give it 2 stars because it seems to be good quality but I don't know how it performs because I returned both.

Title. This jacket is affordable and gorgeous but I'm sadly not happy with it. It never beaded water well from the start and after only a handful of real rain uses this wetted out during a rainy hike in Scotland. This in turn got my underlying puffer wet (Marmot Featherless Hoody) which has been absolutely perfect for the 4 years I've owned it. Also, the interior "pockets"....are those supposed to do anything? There's no bottom seam so it can't hold anything. Would have been so much better if they were simply functional. Overall, it's pretty, it's fine for light rain, it stuffs down well, but it does not hold up to the test.

I love this jacket but the first time I washed it, following the instructions, large sections of the white interior lining flaked off. I can't wear it now without getting the fibers all over my clothes (plus waterproofing is compromised in key places). I reached out to customer service, but never heard back (33955567).

I loved the rainproof-ness, strong zippers, fit and look of the jacket but after about 3 years the lining began to rub off and leave crumbs and dust on my clothes, soon after the lining gave out so did the waterproofness. This was used more for daily use and cycling, could be great and last 5+ years with less frequent use

The Production description lists features that are not shown. Features curious about are not listed or discussed, such as whether the front zipper flap has Velcro the length of the flap. As far as a recommending this product? I'll let them decide for themselves.

Bought mine in Acadia, ME. But the liner cracked around the neck and shoulder area after just a few years. It's still wearable but it leaves little white flakes on my clothing. Disappointed.

I bought the jacket online. Loved it when I saw it. Unfortunately, the inner lining comes apart easily after a 3 week's use. It's great in the rain, but it's a fragile item. It's not ideal for outdoor use if it's gonna tear like paper. I specifically bough this jacket for the rain, but it looks like it's barely up for the challenge of 3 weeks in dry weather.

I got it as a gift and was disappointed. The material was too rough on the inside and I did not like how it was just so bland. Overall the style did not make up for the discomfort in wearing it.

The quality is a lot less than it used to be. Especially the zippers.

Shoulders too small. Zippers are low quality. Please increase the quality like it was before .

We purchased 10 of these jackets for our ERT drone crews based on past experience. The PreCip used to be a good quality jacket that would last you more than 365 days...Usually good for a few years if you looked after it. Seems like Marmot puts more effort into too many designs rather than sticking to a few great jackets. We won't be purchasing Marmot gear in the near future. Precipitation breaks down and begins to leak within a few wears.

I bought this jacket as a backpacking and day hiking rain shell. I liked the fit and the weight. I took it on an overnight hike in the white mountains last October. It ended up raining and sleeting most of the hike and this brand new jacket let so much moisture through that the puffy I was wearing underneath ended up wet. I couldn't get dry all night and have never shivered so much in my life. Very disappointed!

In a short time the interior began to deteriorate, releasing white particles. In addition, it has completely lost its waterproofness, possibly due to damage to the laminate. The quality of this product does not correspond at all to what Marmot claims to have. Lost money
