Marmot PreCip Rim Jacket – Hard Shell Jacket
By Editor | August 18, 2008
The Marmot PreCip Jacket was one of our favourites for its light weight, breathability and decent price, but the hard shell Marmot Precip Rim jacket ups the ante for athletic adventures with a new slim cut and stretchy microporous fabric that’s even more breathable. Also added are taped and overcoated seams for extra waterproofing, and a stowable hood with a reflective strip. Worthy improvements all.
Keep in mind more features mean more dough, of course. If your jacket spends most of its life at the bottom of your pack, don’t bother. Best suited to Coastal hikers seeking sweat- and restriction-free rain protection for summer adventures.
Weight: 0.4 kg, 1.0 Ibs, Price: $125 – $190 USD
