The verdict
Fit
Expect a jogger-style tapered leg with an elastic waistband, cut for ease of movement; true to size is likely per the brand's general outdoor-apparel sizing.
Quality
This brand's outdoor line has a reputation for durable, functional construction, and the stated UPF 40 rating points to a technical, sun-protective fabric rather than standard fleece.
Is the price fair?
At $100 this is mid-tier and reasonable for a technical outdoor jogger with built-in sun protection, a fair price for the brand's functional-wear category.
Best for
Someone who wants a lightweight, sun-protective jogger for hiking, travel, or outdoor activity rather than loungewear.
Care
Wash cold and skip fabric softener, since it can degrade the UPF sun-protective finish over time.
Fit check: Marmot
True to sizeOwners report Marmot fits true to size overall, with the rain pants and some bottoms running slightly roomy.
On the core jackets, retailer fit data is one-sided: every Zappos sizing respondent for the PreCip rated it true to size, with owners noting room for a light layer underneath and some deliberately going up a size only to fit bulky mid-layers. Sizing-guide roundups agree that Marmot jackets typically run true to size and track other American outdoor brands. The soft spot is bottoms: CleverHiker's PreCip Eco rain pants review says the fit runs slightly big and suggests sizing down, and owner feedback on shorts and sweatpants echoes a somewhat generous cut. Cuts also skew trimmer on athletic-fit styles, so per-item reviews are worth a glance on slim-labeled pieces.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size in jackets and tops (go up one only if you layer heavily); consider sizing down in the rain pants and other roomy bottoms.

What owners report about Marmot sweatpants
Owners of Marmot's fleece jogger/sweatpant line (Coastal Jogger, Logo Joggers, AirExchange joggers) report solid warmth and softness for everyday wear, with one long-time owner noting a fleece pair held up over two decades: 'The medium I have had for 20 years. They age well!' Fit is the most inconsistent element across the line: reviewers describe the waistband drawstring and inner pocket adding noticeable bulk, the inseam running short with the front poofing rather than sitting flat, and the fabric on some styles holding onto grease marks rather than breathing well.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently highlight the warmth and softness of the fleece fabric for everyday and cold-weather wear.
- Watch out for
- Fit is the recurring complaint: a bulky waistband and inner key pocket, a short inseam, or a front that poofs rather than sitting flat.
- Sizing
- One owner at 5'4"/135 lbs found a medium true to size, but others report the cut running large through the leg or short in the inseam, so checking the actual measurements is worthwhile.
