I'm trying to figure out what I want as far as new rain gear. Nothing is really wrong with my old stuff, but it's heavy and a bit too warm for summer camping.

I was considering Marmot Pre-cip stuff and also Frogg Toggs. After reading reviews, it sounds like Toggs are semi-disposable and tear up easily.

On the Marmot stuff, I would have sworn that I saw their PreCip jacket somewhere with a weight of 8 or 9 ounces. Now when I go to their website the precip jacket says it weighs 13 ounces. What gives? I'm afraid that if I order it it'll weigh 2lbs by the time it gets here.

Also, does anyone have experience with the new MemBrain strata stuff? Is it really that much better than PreCip? Probably a rhetorical question, because I think it's definitely out of my price range.

I don't have a scale to weigh my old gear, but the Marmot jacket doesn't seem like such a great piece of gear as it did at 8 ounces. Any and all comments are welcome.
