Marmot

PreCip Eco Jacket - Women's

Great jacket, but...

I love the PreCipice Eco Jacket and have several in different colors. I'm 5'5", 125 pounds and wear a large to fit sweaters underneath. It's slightly tapered, which gives a slenderizing appearance and hits just below the buttocks. My only disappointment/complaint is the white lining/coating starts to disintegrate and flake after a few years, which causes white specks all over my clothing....not pretty....and thus the 4 star rating.

Great color, great fit

Nice jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does what it should. Fits good- a little loose than expected.

This is my second jacket as I lost my first- love this slimming too. Bought in black.

MARMOT PreCip Eco Jacket

I've used it several times

Can't complain because when I bought it the price was 50%..but to evaluate the quality and size of the MARMOT brand, it's not as good...as the Marmot raincoat I bought 4 years ago...

Perfect Packable Layer!

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I needed a new lightweight rain jacket, and was looking for something that 1. had pit zips, and 2. would pack down for an easy camping/travel option. I have always loved my heavier Marmot ski jacket, and this rain jacket 100% fits the need! So much attention to detail! Ordered the XS - it's loose enough to throw a few layers underneath if needed.

not waterproof, lining sheds

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I've had this jacket for three years and have probably worn it less than 50 times. The first couple of times I wore it as a windbreaker and it was perfectly fine; the first time I wore it in the rain I got soaked through but by then it was too late to return. Since then it has kept me dry in a drizzle but harder rain tends to go through the jacket. The lining also started shedding about a year ago, just little bits of white material at first but now when I take the jacket off I'm covered in flakes. Really disappointed in the quality and will be staying away from Marmot products in the future!

Almost Perfect

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

I have owned two Precip Eco jackets previously. They are light weight, come in nice colors, and worked well for travel. The first year or two they work great to keep me dry, but the water repellency wears off after that time. After a rainstorm, I noticed my arms were wet underneath the jacket. I read that washing with conventional detergent damages water repellency. I have tried treating them with Nik Wax, but it may have been too late. In each case, I just purchased a new one. Returning this because it runs small through the middle and the hips. I need a size L.

Cannot Beat it for the Price!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Keeps me super dry, is packable and light, it is a must have for a summer hike, but also works as a great dry layer over a sweater. I am a big fan.

relatively dry

I tested out my Marmot rain jacket in the Monongahela mountains during a 3 day backpacking trip. It rained on us 80% of the time BUT this jacket kept me relatively dry!
