Waypoint Gore-Tex^® Waterproof Hooded Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first experience with Marmot jackets so I was hoping that this jacket would be a good choice and comparable to my years old Cabela’s Guidewear rain jacket that had seen its last days and went the way of the dinosaur. When I received the jacket and took it out of the packaging I was immediately impressed with how soft it was compared to the stiff jacket that I loved. But, would it perform as well?? It didn’t take long before I put it to the test on a very windy and rainy day and I was very impressed by the jacket’s performance. It performed as well as the Guidewear and much more comfortable to wear! It also seems to keep me warmer too. Time will tell on this jacket’s durability but so far so great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These raglan sleeves are for somebody with no shoulders. I wouldn’t know who could possibly wear this. Backpackers and everyday wearers do not like these sleeves in coats. I never liked raglan sleeve t-shirts either as they look cheap. I only chose this because the Precip jacket no longer has a breast pocket. I have had Marmot for decades and now I have to go somewhere else. No worries as there are plenty of choices in raincoats with other competitors. Stop cheapening your rain coats. People pay for features, not sacrifices or half steps. I want proper structured sleeves, pit zips, standard low pockets, 2 breast pockets, not just 1, and a stowable hood. Navy color. Very disappointed in Marmot leadership. Bye bye.
