Review on Marmot Women's Precip Jacket: A Gemstone in Women's Clothing for Coats, Jackets & Vests by Meech Elliott

I did a mild two-hour hike in the fall in 60 degrees. I love that it keeps me dry in heavy rain. It was not a downpour, but very rainy and windy. I usually sweat when hiking, but I didn't sweat at all, so I felt very comfortable. The hood has a velcro strap that allows me to shorten and adjust the hood. This is a handy feature. For me there was only one downside. The hood has elastic drawstrings at both ends that allow me to adjust the hood around my neck, but I have to tie them to put the hood on, especially on a windy day. After that, it was very painful to untie the cords in the neck. That seems to me to be a design flaw. But I leave the jacket as it is very good on all other points: functionality, cut, style, color.
