Marmot PreCip Eco Jacket - Men's Black, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the PreCip Eco Jacket on a four-day loop in the Olympics last fall, and it held up through two full days of steady rain without a hint of moisture getting through. The pit zips were a genuine lifesaver on the climbs, letting me dump heat without stopping to dig out a layer, and when the sun finally came out, I had the whole jacket stuffed into its own pocket in about thirty seconds.""The forecast says rain, the trail doesn't care, and neither does the Marmot PreCip Eco Jacket. Whether you are commuting through a sudden downpour or grinding out the last few miles of a soggy backpacking trip, this jacket has been the go-to lightweight shell for anyone who refuses to let bad weather rewrite their plans. It packs into its own pocket, weighs next to nothing, and disappears into the bottom of a bag until the moment you actually need it. Marmot built the PreCip Eco around their NanoPro recycled nylon face fabric, a fully taped seam construction, and a PFC-free DWR finish that beads water aggressively without the environmental baggage of older treatments. The adjustable hood rolls neatly into the collar when the rain stops, the DriClime-lined chin guard keeps moisture from tracking up toward your face on long wears, and the pit zips give you a quick escape valve when the pace picks up and things start to heat up inside. It is the kind of jacket that earns a permanent spot in your kit because it never seems like the wrong call to bring it."
