Greetings !!

Looking at the Marmot Precip tall, both as a wind shirt and rain jacket. I've seen good and bad reviews. Juggling prices at REI (free shipping + 20% savings ending today: 13 Apr + dividend), I can get one for about $85. Camp-mor has it for about $99 + shipping.

Basic stats: I'm 6'2'" and back up to 210 # or so. I dropped 30 # in 30 days on my 2012 attempt. I have "ape" arms (long).

Questions for anyone who has or used this jacket:

1. How would an XL fit vs. a L, over an insulated vest or something?

2. How has the waterproofing lasted? I've seen reviews that have it gone in a light dew 3 counties away, while others have stated the waterproofing has lasted through the last 125 years of monsoons.

3. Would you recommend this jacket? Why/why not?

Thanks in advance.
