Marmot's PreCip Material
PreCip is Marmot's lightest, most compressible, waterproof, and
breathable rainwear, with moisture-wicking fabric and optimal
venting to keep you dry from the inside out. The new PreCip
coating has been improved for greater waterproof breathability,
and the Marmot line of PreCip clothing has been outfitted with
articulated designs and cleverly-placed pockets for optimal
comfort and convenience.
The key to this fabric is its updated barrier technology, a
microporous polyurethane impregnated with silicon dioxide
particles. This barrier creates small, numerous, consistent holes
that allow small water vapor molecules to escape while blocking
larger liquid particles. This keeps rain out while allows
perspiration to work its way outside the garment, away from your
body. When the weather turns fair, PreCip garments are
compressible enough to be stuffed into a standard wide-mouth
water bottle, and come in a variety of colors and styles for
multiple applications.
Lifetime Warranty
Marmot products include a limited lifetime manufacturer's
warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
About Marmot
In April 1971, University of California Santa Cruz students Eric
Reynolds and Dave Huntley were in Alaska on the Juneau ice fields
for a Glaciology school project. This was where the idea of
Marmot, originally a collegiate climbing club, began. Reynolds
and Huntley soon began making prototypes of down products such as
vests and ing bags in their dorm room in Santa Cruz. By the
spring of 1973, Reynolds and Huntley partnered with fellow
climber Tom Boyce to open a modest rental and retail location,
named Marmot ain Works, in a 100-year-old building in Grand
Junction, Colorado.
Their first large order was for 108, as the producer called
them, "very puffy jackets" for the movie The Eiger Sanction, with
Clint Eastwood, which helped make down outerwear fashionable. In
1976, Marmot was one of the first companies to recognize the
value of a new technology being developed by W.L. Gore &
Associates. Marmot was soon producing waterproof Gore-Tex
ing bags, with Reynolds and Huntley testing early prototypes
by ing in meat lockers and under fire sprinklers, and later
introduced the waterproof/breathable fabric into nearly all
Marmot products.
From humble beginnings, Marmot and its product line have grown
over the years, and today the company is headquartered in Rohnert
Park, California, with offices all over the world and
distribution in more than 60 countries.
