From Backcountry.com:
"The Marmot Men's Oracle Jacket provides ultra-light waterproof weather protection at an affordable price. With fully taped seams, a removable storm hood, and comfortable DryTouch lining, the Oracle keeps you dry all hike long. This is simply one of the most affordable lightweight, waterproof jackets available. The Oracle is micro-stitched and 100% seam taped. It looks, feels, and performs like any top-of-the-line shell only it's even lighter. This piece retains the superb waterproofing of Marmot's immensely popular Precip Jacket, but it fits and breathes better, with detailing of more expensive shells such as durable stretch fabric in key movement areas. Ideal for serious hiking, light climbing, and backpacking pursuits where nasty weather might be on the horizon."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Oracle is a value-oriented, high-performance PreCip shell that's ideal for hiking, alpine climbing, and backpacking."

From CampSaver.com:
"The Marmot OracleJacket is a value-oriented, high-performance PreCip shell thats ideal for hiking, alpine climbing, and backpacking.While offering stellar performance in all these areas its still light on the pocketbook."

"The manufacturing quality is not what I would expect from a top of the line jacket - the first time I wore the jacket, the snap button covering at the front bottom of the jacket just fell off..."

"Absoluteley great jacket. Bought it for general rainwear/biking in the rain. The first thing I noticed was the fit, it fits like a glove. Even with reaching overhead and forward the jacket doesn't ride up the back or pull tight in the arm pits. I like the fact that is has pit zips for venting and a stowable hood."

"The '05 Oracle is very light, very waterproof, and the athletic cut fits perfectly. As always, Marmot's quality is top-notch. This jacket delivers excellent performance for the price. The core vents/front pockets ventilate beautifully and keep your stuff from falling out."

"The Oracle 2-layer jacket is comparable to those made with Gore's PacLite, but uses Marmot's own waterproof/breathable fabric called Precip Plus, and is seam sealed w/stowaway hood. This should keep you perfectly dry in anything short of a monsoon, and for that Marmot offers ultralight 3-layer jackets with the Gore fabrics or their own MemBrain material."

"This jacket is thicker than the original PreCip, but it packs a lot more features. It's a great waterproof, breathable jacket. However, it is kind of pricey, when you can get other waterproof jackets that are just as good but are four times cheaper (but not breathable)."
