Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Marmot Men's Precip Jacket (Spring 2008) - Dating Girl's 2007 Award Winner The Precip Jacket by Marmot is ultra lightweight, most compactible hooded rainwear, low abrasion conditions. Features: PreCip Dry Touch Technology, Waterproof/Breathable 100% seam taped Full visibility roll up hood with Peripheral Cord adjustment and integral collar PitZips Pack Pockets DriClime lined chin guard Double storm flap over zipper with snap/Velcro closure Elastic draw cord hem Angel-Wing Movement Standard Fit"

From RockCreek:
"The Marmot PreCip Jacket is an extremely lightweight waterproof/breathable shell. The PreCip is fully featured with pitzips, core venting and everything else you'd expect from a $400 piece, yet it weighs half as much and costs only a fraction. With the PreCip fabric, Marmot has created a time-tested waterproof/breathable shell that is light and compact enough to be carried on those long humps when the pack just can't be any heavier. Also, the PreCip Jacket is perfect for those outings when you don't expect it to rain but going without rain gear would be too risky."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Marmot PreCip® is the jacket that changed the industry: the first, value-oriented, truly functional rainwear for backcountry and urban travelers alike. Available In: Black Dk. Cedar Fire Red Fog Indigo Blue Ionic Blue Krypton Mineral Real Red Tempest Marmot PreCip Jacket Features: Full visibility roll up hood with Peripheral Cord adjustment and integral collar PitZips™ Designed to fit over fleece or softshells 100% seam taped Pack Pockets™ Double storm flap over zipper with snap/Velcro® closure Elastic draw cord hem PreCip® Dry Touch Technology, Waterproof/Breathable DriClime® lined chin guard Angel-Wing Movement™ Marmot PreCip Jacket Materials: Shell: PreCip N-170R"

"I've had this jacket for almost a year but until recently I have not had the chance to test it. I live in North Texas, where it never rains, but when it does, it's a monsoon. During the lighter rain the PreCip will do just fine, but if you find yourself out in the rain often, spending more money on a rain jacket will be well worth it."

"It's frustrating when you see that this jacket gets award after award every year, and that most of the people who buy it love it, but the one that I own is absolutely useless.

I don't expect it to preform like 3 layer Gore-tex, but at least keep me dry in the rain from the parking lot into the store! I would NEVER take this jacket into the backcountry."

"I live in the Pacific Northwest. This thing works here.

It does get a little damp after hours of downpour, but nothing too bad. The fit is great, none of that cavernous vanity sizing that some competitors have begun to employ.

The hood is roomy enough for my giraffe-like neck and enormous head, and can be secured well enough for moderate blows."

"Great jacket. I will never pay for Gore-Tex again! Now that this technology is no longer proprietary, there is no reason to be gouged for foul weather gear!

Fully zipped and carrying a pack it breathed well enough to keep me feeling dry. My inner layers felt dry as well."

"This jacket is a nice shell to take out on cold days with a chance of light rain. Throwing a long sleeve shirt with a fleece is great for the late Fall when it's 40 degrees out. The model I have is a few years old so I'm not sure how current this review might be, but I thought I'd share anyway."

"I owned this jacket for one year, after I tore my trusty L. L. Bean Packable Gore-Tex raincoat.

Despite what the jacket advertised, the "waterproof, breathable" material that the PreCip Jacket was made of retained a lot of heat and was not breathable either in hot or cold climates; I found myself sweating every time it rained."

"I have owned this jacket for a while and I like everything about it. It kept me dry in heavy rain and it is very well thought out product. The only reason that I'm not giving it five stars is the quality. The quality is not bad but it could be better. This jacket so far has been great and I'm sure Marmot will make it better."

"Bought this jacket and got wet every time I wore it in the rain. Because I like the fit and they have a good reputation I returned the jacket to Marmot who promptly sent me a new jacket saying that the first had delaminated.

I saw no indication that there was any delamination on the first and the second one has left me soaked every time it rains."

"IT IS NOT WATERPROOF. Even a small rain gets through it.
Marmot should not market it as waterproof, the best description would be "a very expensive wind breaker". Stay away from this product."

"I bought this jacket last year and the smell of the waterproofing drove me crazy. The plastic/chemical smell made my throat sore and my nose run. It really was a miserable expereince and I soon returned it for another jacket without all of the plastic/chemical coatings... Most people don't have allegies like this, but dear god in heaven it made me feel miserable."

"Cuts the wind like a concrete wall!

Very lightweight and compactable. When I summited Mt. Adams and cleared the fasle summit, I was blasted by the wind. I walked around trying to find a rock shelter, finally took of my pack, my sweat frozen to my skin, slid into the PreCip and I felt instant relief."

"Hmm, seems like the general consensus is that this jacket is waterproof. I went for a leisurely 45-minute walk in moderate rain and found that the jacket leaked, especially in the seams around the wrist cuffs and on horizontal surfaces (tops of forearms and shoulders)."

"Jacket itself is great, waterproof as any other breathable item, generous venting, lightweight. My only complaint is the hood -- does not have easy way to wrap up or fold up. Flops around when not being worn, especially in a wind. I understand this may have changed in later editions of the jacket. But for functionality, I give it all the stars."

"Finally, a jacket I really like! I have two other breathable shell jackets and while they work well, they're just too heavy and bulky to bring along on summer hikes. I also have a 9oz non-breathable jacket and while the weight is nice it's really unpleasant to wear."

"The PreCip sacrifices nothing in water resistance to be light weight. It packs down **really** small, so there's no reason to be without a wind/water resistant shell. It does get wet inside, but I think that is more from perspiration that isn't dissipated than it is from rain (and I've worn the jacket in some heavy downpours)."

"I needed a new gore-tex jacket and decided to try something less costly than the traditional 3-layer gore-tex shells I wear. The PreCip is great. Have had it out on four summits in the Northeast; all trailless, with snow and temps of 20 to 45. Not quite as breathable as top end gore-tex, but will do just fine."
