The verdict
Fit
Expect a relaxed, functional fit typical of the brand's women's technical shirts, built for layering and movement.
Quality
UPF 40 long-sleeve fabric is consistent with the brand's outdoor-shirt reputation and should perform reliably for sun protection and breathability.
Is the price fair?
At $84 this sits at the top of mid-tier for the category; reasonable for the function, though one of the pricier options in the brand's own line.
Best for
Anyone wanting long-sleeve sun coverage for hiking or outdoor travel.
Care
Machine wash cold and air dry to keep the UPF finish intact.
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 button-ups
Marmot's flannel button-ups get consistent praise for material feel and stitching: Zappos buyers call the Jasper flannel a "high quality flannel" with "great quality of material and craftsmanship," and say it "comes out of the dryer looking like brand new every time" wash after wash. A long-term wearer of the Ridgefield reported the construction "has held up remarkably well," crediting "durable flat-felled seams" that resist fraying. The recurring gripes are fit and breathability: one Jasper buyer said "Fit and Size ran tight and small," with a reviewer noting Indonesia-made units ran "much tighter" than expected before washing, and testers of the non-stretch flannel weaves warn the fabric "could become a victim of over-motion—potentially ripping on the shoulders" and "does not get an A+ for breathability" in warm weather.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently praise the flannel's substantial feel and durable stitching, saying it holds up well wash after wash without fading or losing shape.
- Watch out for
- Sizing runs inconsistent by style and manufacturing run, with some cuts fitting tight and the non-stretch weaves prone to breathability complaints and shoulder strain during high movement.
- Sizing
- Fit varies by specific style and production run - some flannels size tight (buyers flagged Indonesia-made pieces in particular), so checking the item's own reviews before ordering is worth it.
