Review on Marmot PreCip Lightweight Waterproof Lithium Women's Clothing ~ Coats, Jackets & Vests by Jewel Walker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Keeps me dry during a 2 hour hike in the pouring rain.

I went on a leisurely two-hour hike in autumn when it was 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.

Pros
  • New generation waterproof. Our PreCip pants and jacket collection is made from recycled, PFC-free NanoPro nylon fabric that keeps you dry in the wettest of conditions and is highly breathable with an advanced microporous coating.
Cons
  • Exterior
