Good stuff the wife and I both have them. They breath pretty well, got hers of SAC for like 50 mine was like 100. So anywhere in that range and you picked up a good jacket at a fair price.

uh, shouldn't you ask BEFORE you buy ;-)

It's not for me. If it were, I'd do the pre-purchase research. :lol:

I just happened to drive by REI and was like damn, if I don't go in there and buy something now, the 24th will arrive and I'll be scramblin'


Thanks HD. Probably could've hunted for a better price than $99, but see statement #2. ;)

I don't have the precip but I do have a DriClim windshirt. That jacket is unreal. Its become almost a second skin. I imagine the precip must be completely bomb proof for rainy days. I have worn my not waterproof and heavily breathable DriClim in nearly pouring rain and stayed completely dry under the jacket. I've had really good experiences with Marmot stuff.

I have a new Marmot Softshell and a Marmot Polartec top. I really like them both.

I love Marmot stuff. Just got a Precip and like it so far since I've never had a decent rain jacket. Very light-weight. The hood has a psuedo-visor which is nice. It takes a little bit to find all the drawstrings and dial them in for a good fit. Seems like it runs a little big too, at least the mens seems to.

Yea, all of my Marmot stuff runs about 1/2+ size larger. Except for their power fleece stuff, that is pretty true to size. But the next size down was still a tag to snug so I am making due with a little extra space.
