PreCip Eco Jacket
About Marmot’s jackets: Marmot is known for functional technical outerwear at accessible prices — rain shells, insulated jackets, and ski pieces that sit below premium-alpine money. The PreCip rain shell is its single most recognizable style.
Is the price honest?
Our take
The PreCip is Marmot's long-running rain shell, sold today as the PreCip Eco with a 2.5-layer NanoPro Eco membrane on recycled nylon. Owners and testers like it for the same reasons they have for two decades: it is light, packs small, keeps rain out, and undercuts hard-shell pricing by a wide margin. The caveats are typical of the construction: breathability is middling until the pit zips open, and the light fabric shows wear sooner than heavier shells.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- A 2.5-layer NanoPro Eco waterproof-breathable membrane laminated to 100% pre-consumer recycled nylon, backed with a DWR coating.
- Fit
- Reviewers split between calling the cut streamlined and calling it loose; in practice it is a relaxed hiking-shell fit with room for a midlayer, and most owners can take their usual size.
- Quality
- Construction is tidy for the money, but durability is the acknowledged trade-off: multiple testers note the light 2.5-layer fabric shows wear faster than heavier shells and treat it as a several-seasons jacket rather than a decade one.
- Best for
- Hikers, travelers, and commuters who want a light, packable rain shell for genuine wet weather without spending premium-shell money.
- Care
- Machine wash cold on gentle with technical-garment detergent and tumble dry low to revive the water-repellent finish; skip fabric softener.
