This is a mostly great jacket. Its lightweight, breathable with vented pit zips and pockets. Where the jacket stayed covered, I stayed dry.
However, while coming down Mt. Washington in NH on one of its notoriously blustery and rainy days I was wishing for some sort of drawstring on the hood to keep it from billowing and blowing off my head. It was a constant battle to attempt to keep my head dry and covered. This is the only, but rather big drawback that I found.

GREAT LIGHTWEIGHT & WATERPROOF JACKET

Sizing:
Feels true to size
Sleeve Length:
Feels true to length
Pros:
Durable, Good Cut, Lightweight, Versatile, Waterproof
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Bad Weather, Daily Use, Going Out, Travel
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The Marmot Precip jacket has stood tall against the elements to date. It sheds the wind and water well, weighs almost nothing and packs up small. It has kept me dry in numerous backcountry rain storms through the last 18 months of use. I hope it holds up well for a few years to come. I liked the first so much, I purchased two more. One for work and the other never leaves my truck. The full-zip precip pants are great too!!!
