Marmot Women's Seeker GORE-TEX® C-Knit Rain Pant (Spring 2026) Jacket in Black
The verdict
Fit
Likely a technical mountain-shell cut meant to layer over base layers and hiking pants, so expect a roomier fit than everyday wear; check the size chart for waist and inseam.
Quality
GORE-TEX with a C-Knit backer is a premium waterproof construction, and this should deliver strong breathability and durability for the price.
Price check
At $375 this is premium pricing for the category, but the GORE-TEX C-Knit construction is a legitimate cost driver rather than pure brand markup.
Best for
Serious hikers, mountaineers, or anyone working in sustained wet, cold conditions who needs the best waterproof-breathable protection available.
Care
Wash with a technical-fabric detergent and reapply DWR treatment periodically to maintain breathability.

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.

Marmot pants: what reviews say
Reviewers who've worn Marmot's technical pants across multiple seasons describe them holding up well over time: one reviewer's higher-end waterproof pant still "looked as good as new" after six months of frequent trail use in Hawaii, including several falls, crediting sealed seams and scuff-guard reinforcement. At the budget end of the line, the PreCip Eco rain pants are described as tough enough to hold up against rough terrain and frequent use, though reviewers note they demand more care to avoid punctures or abrasions than heavier-duty rain pants and aren't as indestructible as premium options.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the durable, seam-sealed construction, saying pants have come through repeated falls and rough trail use looking essentially new.
- Watch out for
- The budget PreCip Eco pants are described as more prone to punctures and abrasion than heavier-duty rain pants, plus noisier fabric and clunky velcro waist adjustments.
- Sizing
- One reviewer found the PreCip Eco pants ran slightly big and recommended sizing down.
