I just bought a Precip about a month ago. So far its been great but, then again, I haven't been hiking with it nor have I been in any torrential downpours. We'll see how it works out for me out on the trail soon enough.
Cool bones, least that's a start.

Marmot precip, I hope it is a good choice because I bought one last year. Have not had it a big rain yet, but with all the heavy rain we have had here in North AL, I need to put it on and take a walk down the road. I wish I could detach the hood. For me it was trying to balience the issues of cost, weight and reliable rain protection. Lets see what others think.

Been wearing them since 2001. Not as Sturdy as GTX.. they seem to wear through after about 2 years of regular use. First around the collar/hood, then shoulders. Great dfeal if you can get it under $50. Otherwise........

I've heard it doesn't breathe well and this is especially noticed during warmer weather. I know of no other complaints and believe for the money that it is a quality jacket. Marmot products are genuinely of quality workmanship.
I've got one and it's a mighty fine jacket. Where it excels is on my regular, non-backpacking walks when it's drizzling and raining lightly.
Makes a pretty good wind jacket too.
I have a precip. It's good.

Used a Precip since 2005 in AT hiking.
Doesn't really breathe well (but what effective rain gear does?).
Great for a wind breaker.
Great for a top layer in cold weather and/or in camp after and before hiking.

used mine for 2 years now. Still going strong. Never got wet with it even in a downpour for 2 hours.
My wife has one and is happy with it.
