[at-l] Marmot PreCip Pants

[champion@iquest.net (Stephen P. Champion, MD)]

I bought a pair of the PreCip pants about a month ago (from REI, even), and
while they have had limited day use so far, I think they are great for the
price (I did not want to spend $150-250 or more on Gore-Tex pants).  No
problems with water penetration and they do seem as "breathable" as is
scientifically possible (i.e. not clammy).  I have never seen the Frogg
Toggs in person, so I can't compare durability, but the PreCip pants seem
plenty rugged.  I'll know better in a year or so, but I am really happy with
each of the Marmot clothing products I own.  As a matter of fact, I wish I'd
waited and bought the PreCip jacket instead of the waterproof but
non-breathable Sierra Designs jacket I purchased last year.

They get my "thumbs up" for the time being.  As always, YMMV.

Steve

Been thinking about purchasing a pair of Marmot Precip pants for some long
wet section hikes coming up. The cost is about $65. Anyone with any opinions
or experiences with them...are they durable and waterproof (and worth the
$65
) ???

thanks....*Beantown*
