Marmot PreCip Lightweight Raincoat, Men, Waterproof, Windproof & Breathable

Product Information

Sleek, sharp, two-toned teal blue, and bearing an abundance of teeth with all these zippers, it didn’t take long before my inner shark spirit animal began to surface. Offered in many colors, there’s likely a PreCip for you. Utili anche le aperture sotto le ascelle che evitano la lacrimazione della stessa mantenendo la protezione dalla pioggia. Worn directly against the skin felt nearly as clammy as the bottom of the Boston harbor — i.e., not great. But it was quite cozy with a thermal or fleece between my skin and the interior 2.5-layer. Durability

The hood on the Rab Kinetic Alpine 2.0 is of special note because it features an internal elastic band designed to ride directly on the forehead and turned out to be comfortable and effective, maintaining top-notch peripheral vision. Adjustments are notably spartan, with simple pull strings on either side of the hood and hem, and velcro cinches everywhere else. That includes the depth adjustment for the hood, which while it looks laughably simple, worked just fine in the field and offered an agreeable amount of adjustment for each of our testers.The Columbia Rebel Roamers are the best, most protective rain pants you can buy for the price. These are durable pants with great weather resistance that we found comparable to some of the higher-end options. They're comfortable and also versatile — we used them for skiing, too. If you're on a budget or just don't want to spend a ton of money on rain pants that you might not use very often, then these versatile bad boys blow the low-priced competition out of the water. You can certainly buy nicer rain pants, but with all things considered regarding weight, compressed size, and weather resistance, these pants are a fantastic value. The Precip Eco is a great buy for anyone on a budget, but between the basic liner and comparatively simple fabrics, we don’t expect it to last too terribly long. Once the rain really starts coming down, however, the Precip is far from our favorite option. We mainly chalk this up to the previously mentioned 2.5L construction, which starts to feel cold and clammy against the skin as the outer fabric wets out. As far as keeping the user dry, ventilation makes less of a difference in real-world applications when compared to breathability. Why? It can be challenging to utilize ventilation if it's raining. Ventilation can be worthwhile after it has stopped raining before you remove your rain gear. Most shell pant manufacturers design pants with full and 3/4 length side zippers to make them easier to put on and take off without removing your shoes.

Not quite high enough for a hip belt, not quite low enough for casual comfort. A hybrid that falls a little flat. Quality hood design with plenty of adjustability, and you can stow the hood away under the collar when not in use. Decently waterproof, especially with a fairly forward hood and solid closures around the waist and wrists. Keeping the water out is not so much of a problem, it’s getting the water from your sweat. Fit From there we found the fabric started to slowly wet out, and the usual cold and clamminess associated with 2.5 layer shells began to set in. We’ll give credit where credit is due here though: Despite the unpleasant sensation of “plastic on skin” the NanoPro liner did its job well, and we have yet to experience any issues with the Precip outright failing in the field.Membranes like this one found on the Precip tend to work well for awhile, but then slowly degrade over time and lose their effectiveness. Latest PreCip Eco includes a recycled nylon fabric and PFC-free DWR coating without an increase in price. The Precip’s DWR works surprisingly well, and fends off lighter rain for extended periods before beginning to wet out. Our rainy day experts have been testing pants for the last 8 years with over 25 different models exposed to rain and sleet. This review covers 9 top pairs, which we've put head to head in a series of tests. We take the time to test each product in the field while hiking, biking, and exploring through all sorts of rain. Light, heavy, big drops, small drops — our expert testers rate ventilation, comfort, value, and several other key metrics. After exploring all the rainy places from Patagonia to the USA and stops in between, we offer our award winners and recommendations, unbiased and designed to help you in your quest for the best rain pant.
