Marmot PreCip Lightweight Raincoat, Men, Waterproof, Windproof & Breathable

Product Information

Decently waterproof, especially with a fairly forward hood and solid closures around the waist and wrists. Keeping the water out is not so much of a problem, it’s getting the water from your sweat. Fit The Marmot Precip Eco is a bit of an outlier in this sense, which is par for the course for Marmot, a company that prides itself on doing things a bit differently. The brand has come a long way from its humble beginnings as two college students sewing their own sleeping bags in a dorm room, and they’re now regarded as one of the best choices for rain gear money can buy. Adjustments are notably spartan, with simple pull strings on either side of the hood and hem, and velcro cinches everywhere else. That includes the depth adjustment for the hood, which while it looks laughably simple, worked just fine in the field and offered an agreeable amount of adjustment for each of our testers.

The Columbia Rebel Roamers are the best, most protective rain pants you can buy for the price. These are durable pants with great weather resistance that we found comparable to some of the higher-end options. They're comfortable and also versatile — we used them for skiing, too. If you're on a budget or just don't want to spend a ton of money on rain pants that you might not use very often, then these versatile bad boys blow the low-priced competition out of the water. You can certainly buy nicer rain pants, but with all things considered regarding weight, compressed size, and weather resistance, these pants are a fantastic value. Latest PreCip Eco includes a recycled nylon fabric and PFC-free DWR coating without an increase in price.

Quality hood design with plenty of adjustability, and you can stow the hood away under the collar when not in use.

The Precip Eco is a great buy for anyone on a budget, but between the basic liner and comparatively simple fabrics, we don’t expect it to last too terribly long.Face fabric is bonded to a PU membrane and has a very thin layer printed on the interior.
