Marmot Precip Rain Jacket Mens

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.

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 mountains, 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 sleeping 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 Mountain 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 sleeping 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.
