Customer Reviews Marmot PreCip® Jacket

I was in need of a lightweight, packable (packs into one of the hand pockets) rain jacket for a hiking trip and ordered a couple different brands to try on for size. I bought the Precip as well as The North Face Venture Jacket and Columbia Arcadia II Jacket – all in size medium. All fit true to size and had enough room to layer but the Precip jacket definitely fit me the best. The other two jackets were uncomfortable in the neck when the jacket was zipped all of the way. I like all of the features that this jacket has - fully adjustable hood that stows in the collar; velcro cuffs; pit-zips and of course that it packs into its own pocket! I ordered the dark purple color and it is a beautiful color. I haven’t had a chance to test it in the rain yet, but from all of the reviews I’ve read on multiple sites, it seems to perform well.

great jacket very stylish! fit is great with a slight taper.

I love this jacket! I go on walks at lunchtime at work and it stood up to an hour of continuous drizzle on a rainy day. I love how the hood can easily be drawn in as tight as you want and the brim is generous so your face doesn't get wet. My mom liked my coat so much she asked for one for her birthday. Sizing is pretty generous; I normally wear a small or medium (bust 34", waist 26") and a small was a better fit with room to spare (I ordered both sizes).

This jacket did not fit like the picture and was cut straight up and down. Therefore, it does not accommodate female curves very well. I wear size medium. The top fit perfectly, there was a bit of extra material around the waist and it was snug around the hips over jeans and a sweater. Also, the fabric did not appear durable so the jacket was not worth the money. Sure, it says Marmot but it does not have the Marmot quality I am used to. I sent it back.

I got this for Mom and she loves it. It fits nice, keeps her dry and doesn't look like a garbage bag like a lot of raincoats. It's not the best looking raincoat I've ever seen but it has enough structure for an older woman to wear and not look sloppy. I don't why but I've noticed as I age I need more structure in the wardrobe to look presentable.

I am a very sweaty person. 70 degrees? Sweaty. 40 degrees? Sweaty. -35 degrees? You got it: sweaty. Rain jackets are the literal worst for sweaty people like me (or maybe nobody else is like me and I'm a freak). This rain jacket? Far from the worst. The pit zips are long enough to actually be useful; that is, letting my pits vent their sweaty steamy stink (definitely smells like flowers and sunshine). Keeps out the rain without leaving me with a creepy-crawly plastic wrap feeling when I take it off. I've carried everything in the pockets, from pieces of paper to my iPhone to dog poop bags (and nobody likes wet dog poop bags). I don't carry an umbrella because I'm an idiot, but this jacket with the hood up and cinched gets the job done. Stay sweaty, fools.

Great jacket and can't beat the price. It's not gore-tex so I won't expect the DWR coating to last a lifetime but so far it's kept me dry. Being able to fit it into it's own pocket gives me no excuse not to bring it along as a just in case layer. I've used it for hiking, rock climbing, and casually. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it and am happy with my purchase. I typically wear an XS in tops including outwear and XS fit perfectly. Just loose enough to be breathable but not too baggy.

Really don't like the material. Very noisy and thin. Not what I was looking for. I did like the heat release vent in the pit and the pocket, but it's basically a shell and too expensive.

The jacket has a nice fit; the sleeves are a generous length. One drawback is, it is noisy. It rustles. Maybe it would stop rustling after repetitive uses and/or washing, however, given the price, I did not want to risk keeping it.

I haven't had the opportunity to wear it in the rain yet but thought I would comment on sizing. I am 5'6" and 120lbs with slim hips. I ordered a small and it fits well, even with a light layer. I can wear a medium fluffy layer as well but the arms are a bit tight. If I unzip the underarm zippers part way, the fit would be fine. (That is not a fleece I am planning on wearing under it, just tried it as an FYI.) I really like that the hood rolls up into the collar. I think this jacket will work well for me.

Great coat, keeps you very dry. I loved this coat so much I have it in 2 different colors.

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas and she loves it. It is very nicely made, good quality and great style. Also, it is her favorite color. It is a hit all the way around!

I bought the PreCip after extensive reviews for a lightweight rain jacket. The cost seems a bit pricey for a casual jacket to wear when it's raining (not necessarily outdoor activity), but the reviews were great so I went for it. The jacket really is great at keeping me dry in the rain. The zip linings inside the arm pit are a nice feature. The only complaint I have is that the wrist cuffs are loose-fitting, and adjustable with velcro. For the cost of the jacket, I expected a much higher quality cuff - even elastic cuffs would be a nicer touch. I gave 3 stars for style simply because the velcro cuffs are tacky.

Bought this rain jacket to use with bike commuting. It keeps me warm and dry in the rain and is long enough in the back that rain doesn't leak down my back/pants like with some jackets. After riding home in the rain last week, the only moisture on the inside was my own sweat, which is really unpreventable since I always sweat. Very happy with it.

This is perfect for my 90 year old Mom in Omaha. There is lots of windy, rainy fall weather ahead there. She loved the raspberry color and I originally wanted to order the small for her but got the medium instead because she favors comfortable, roomy jackets. The medium works. The Velcro on the wrist is another good feature in her book. The price is very fair and the delivery was very fast. All in all this was a very good purchase. I also ordered a North Face Allabout Jacket on spec for her but this Marmot PreCip was exactly what she wanted so the North Face goes back. Thanks, Zappos, for offering so many options!

The jacket is cute, comfy, and slim fitting which was perfect for my niece. I can't speak to how well it repels rain since it hasn't been used yet, but I think it should work out fine for her needs.

The color should be called "Cheery Tomato" as it is a bright cheery red. Great color - no rose tones. I loved the feature that the hood folds into the collar. Sadly, as I have an antebellum figure (small shoulders, ample bosom, wide hips) the LG did not fit around my hips.

I wear a size 16 and ordered the Patagonia Torrentshell along with this jacket. I chose the Marmot because it is roomier in the hips and has a great fit. Love how you can cinch up the ends of the sleeves and love the hood that rolls up into the collar. Am looking forward to taking this jacket and layering it with tops when I go to Budapest and Hungary in chilly wet weather

This jacket is not waterproof. I found myself outside in the rain for an extended period of time and my skin was soaked!

I love this jacket. It has a flattering cut, nice length, and the PitZips are great. It can be rolled up for packing so that it takes up a little more space than a toilet paper tube. I have worn it in downpours and it has kept my upper body completely dry. It moves nicely, is not stiff, and is not noisy. I have only worn it in hot or tropical weather, but I think it would layer well with long sleeves underneath for cooler temperatures.

I love this jacket. It's great as a lightweight windbreaker or waterproof raincoat. I purchased the Large size so I could comfortably fit a sweatshirt or fleece underneath. The Medium fit perfectly without a sweatshirt. (I'm 5'9" and 150 lbs). The length in the arms and torso was perfect. I definitely recommend this jacket!

The material was thinner than anticipated, though I didn't get a chance to give it the rain test. I am 5'5" 125 lbs. and got a small, it fit but I felt that it was a bit too fitting and wouldn't be able to get much gear on underneath. I went with the Columbia in a S, slightly more room and longer.

I loved this jacket! It is very flattering and protects good against light rain and the wind. It does not protect from the cold.

I originally bought this jacket for anytime rain jacket but I find myself reaching for it many other times. It's very attractive and with layers underneath keeps me cozy warm. It will really come in handy next June when we go to Alaska. Good quality too.
