Marmot Precip vs OR Helium --Budget rain

[deertrout]

I recently just purchased a 2nd precip for a backup when my first eventually dies in case they stop.making them, no issues with lining yet and I've had it for 4-5 years. My biggest complaint is that keys will easily tangle up in the mesh pockets.

Pro tip, if you wash it with a powder laundry detergent it will refresh everything and repel water like it was new.

Got to test drive the Precip today when it rained during a hike this morning. It held up pretty good with the moderate rain fall. I hope it will last more than one season. Got this on clearance from REI.
