description Marmot Precip Jacket Overview
The Marmot PreCip Jacket is a lightweight, waterproof rain shell designed for hiking, backpacking, and general outdoor use. Rather than utilizing insulation, the jacket relies on Marmot's proprietary NanoPro™ membrane, a microporous coating that offers high breathability and reliable protection against wet weather. It features a traditional full-zip construction, an adjustable hood, and underarm vents—known as pit zips—to help regulate body temperature during aerobic activities. The garment packs down efficiently and remains a staple in the brand's technical outerwear lineup.
help Marmot Precip Jacket FAQ
Is the Marmot Precip Jacket truly waterproof or just water-resistant?
The Marmot Precip Jacket is fully waterproof and breathable, utilizing Marmot’s proprietary NanoPro™ technology and a durable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. It is designed to withstand heavy, sustained rain rather than just light precipitation.
Can I use the Marmot Precip Jacket as a ski shell for winter sports?
While the Precip Jacket provides excellent weather protection, it is a lightweight rain shell rather than a heavily insulated ski jacket. You would need to layer it over a thick fleece or insulated mid-layer to stay warm during winter sports.
Does the Marmot Precip Jacket pack down into its own pocket?
Yes, many versions of the Marmot Precip Jacket are designed to be highly compressible and easily pack down into one of their own pockets or a stuff sack. This makes it an ideal choice for backpacking, hiking, and travel.
How do I wash and re-waterproof my Marmot Precip Jacket?
You should machine wash it in cold water without detergent and hang it to dry, avoiding bleach or fabric softeners. To restore the NanoPro™ and DWR finish, you can occasionally run it through a medium heat dryer cycle or use a specialized waterproofing spray.
