User Review: Marmot Men's PreCip Jacket

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $99

Summary

As a rain jacket it worked fine when hiking with clothes that would absorb the moisture from the inside during the spring and fall. But when I would run during the winter in N.C., I would find it as wet inside the jacket as on the outside due to my sweating.

Pros

  • Fairly rainproof
  • Good price
  • Wind resistant

Cons

  • Doesn't breathe
  • Makes a krinkly sound, especially when cold.

I bought the Marmot PreCip Jacket for $99, and it was a good rain jacket when I was hiking or backpacking in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina during the spring, summer, or fall.  When used running during the winter in N.C. I found that at a high rate of exercise it didn't breathe at all and if I stopped after 2-3 miles I would become chilled, which can be dangerous in the wild.

The cuffs adjust with Velcro which works fine. The hem can be adjusted with cords, which I never needed to use.
