Golite tumalo vs. marmot precip

[Bags4266]

I was going to buy a precip but now looking at the tumalo. The later is lighter but i have no experience with either. Has anyone had both at one time or another for some feedback? Thanks!

Well never mind. Golite has already sold out of them

I'd still like to hear feedback on the Precip. Will mainly be using it for in town and bike commuting

The Marmot Precip is a fine jacket. The fabric is not particularly breatheable, in my experience, but then very few jackets are. It does have some good features like pit zips and a storm flap over the zipper, and the hood is well designed. The Precip sells for $100 but can often be found on clearance for much less, making it a pretty good value overall. I use mine around town all the time.

For bike commuting it should maybe be long enough in the back - you'll need to check that. In warm or humid weather you'll sweat inside the jacket, like any rain shell at a similar (or even much higher) price point.
