Need a reliable, full-function rain jacket that excels during
your backcountry and urban adventures alike? Turn to the Marmot
men's PreCip jacket, which is 100-percent seam taped to ensure a
completely waterproof performance. The jacket is extremely
comfortable, with patented Angel-Wing Movement technology that
allows your arms a full range of motion, keeping your jacket from
riding up as you hike. The jacket's PitZips underarm zippers,
meanwhile, extend all the way into the body, letting you
aggressively vent the jacket to stay cool on the trail. The
PreCip even offers slanted chest pockets that can be accessed
while you're wearing a pack, so you can easily carry small
necessities while out and about.
Designed to fit over both fleece and soft shells for added
warmth, the PreCip jacket is a great choice for your outdoor
adventures.

breathable About PreCip Technology
PreCip is Marmot's "next step" technology. It allows the company
to construct the lightest, most compressible, technical,
waterproof, and breathable rainwear in the world. Ventilated and
breathable to keep you dry from the inside, PreCip rainwear has
plenty of pockets and custom fit features to keep you warm, dry,
and comfortable. The key to PreCip is its barrier technology, a
microporous polyurethane that is impregnated with silicon dioxide
particles. These particles create small, numerous, consistent
holes that allow small water vapor molecules to pass through the
barrier but not the bigger liquid ones. This keeps the rain out
while letting your sweat vapor work its way outside, away from
your body, to keep you dry from the inside as well as from the
outside. PreCip rainwear is compressible enough to stuff into a
water bottle, and comes in enough colors and styles to travel
with you anywhere--to the ains, the city, or overseas.
About Marmot
In April 1971, University of California Santa Cruz students Eric
Reynolds and Dave Huntley were visiting the Juneau Icefields in
Alaska as part of a school project in glaciology. It was among
their fellow students that Reynolds and Huntley came up with the
idea of a Marmot club. To become a Marmot, you had to climb a
glaciated peak with another Marmot. To help fellow club members
deal with the cold, the pair began to make prototypes of down
products in their Santa Cruz dorm rooms, starting with a down
vest, a sweater, and a parka, and later branched into ing
bags. The warmest bag was the PIKA (now known as the Cwm), which
was rated at -45 degrees F. In 1974, the pair joined up with Tom
Boyce in Grand Junction, Colorado, and opened a rental and retail
shop under the name of Marmot ain Works.
Through the years, Marmot has passed many memorable milestones.
The company debuted its Golden Mantle puffy jacket in the
mid-'70s for a Clint Eastwood film called The Eiger Sanction. In
1976, Marmot helped introduce Gore-Tex to the public after
testing a number of prototype ing bags in frozen meat
lockers and under fire sprinklers (with the company founders
snugly inside). Now headquartered in Santa Rosa, California,
Marmot has offices in California, Colorado, Canada, Hong Kong,
the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Germany. Its products are
distributed in 27 countries.
