Marmot PreCip Jacket

At a shade over 13oz., PreCip wasn’t the lightest packable tested.  But with performance more like a full-on shell, plus the product’s irrefutable track record, it earns a place in your pack.  Active Junky rode PreCip on a gritty bikepacking trip in Utah, pedaling through intermittent thunderstorms.  Hail entered the picture and Marmot’s long-tailed design easily shifted gears from sunshine to wind and rain.  Less stuffable but more reliable than many others currently on the market, PreCip’s PitZips and Pack Pockets suit active, aerobic pursuits where snack and map access count.  For all-conditions reliability, this jacket takes the trail.
