PreCip®
PreCip® is our “next step” technology that enables us to construct the lightest, most compressible, technical, waterproof and breathable rainwear in the world. Ventilated and breathable to keep you dry from the inside, PreCip® rainwear has plenty of pockets and custom fit features to keep you warm, dry and comfortable.
The new PreCip® coating is now more waterproof, more breathable and more comfortable to wear. We've added ceramic particles in the coating for added durability, waterproof reliability and Dry Touch comfort.
The key to PreCip® is its barrier technology: a microporous polyurethane that is impregnated with silicon dioxide particles. These particles create small, numerous, very consistent holes that allow the barrier to pass small water vapor molecules but not the bigger liquid ones. This keeps the rain out while letting your sweat vapor work its way outside, away from your body, to keep you dry from the inside as well as from the outside. PreCip® rainwear is compressible enough to stuff into a water bottle and comes in enough colors and styles to travel with you anywhere– to the mountains, the city or overseas.
DriClime
DriClime® Moisture Management Technology is a family of uniquely plaited bi-component knit fabrics engineered to mechanically draw moisture away from your skin to keep you dry, warm and comfortable.
The key to DriClime is 3-Dimensional Wicking. As moisture moves from the inner fabric touching your skin to the outer fabric, it spreads out across the outer fabric to speed the drying process. DriClime never stops working; it continually passes moisture through to the outer surface for fast evaporation. It is not a finish that washes or wears out; it works forever.
DriClime technology is available in a wide range of products: shelled microclimate layers, base layer, gloves, sleeping bags and backpacks.

Last week myself and 5 hardy Yellowstone rangers ventured into the winter backcountry for our annual (pardon the political incorrectness I’m told) “chick” trip. 22 pretty grueling miles through what they call “variable” snow conditions (read: slick as snot directly followed by chunks of cinderblock glued to the bottom of the skis … repeat … alternate … until ready to scream…) I’m told it’s one of the lightest snowpack years in the past 60 and for the most part I believed it until, out trying to make nice turns in untracked powder, I found this hole that stopped me in my tracks and promptly swallowed me to my pits. (Just long enough, and then some, for my very compassionate friends to snap photos and laugh before getting out their shovels to dig me out.) But wasn’t I styling in my Marmot Precip cap with it’s DriClime® Sweatband (it soaked up a ton with all the work I had to get out of this burial!) This cap has been a mainstay of my outdoor adventures for a solid year, taking me from summer runs to winter skiing – an all ‘round must have!

Great hat I've owned about a dozen of these still have eight or ten. Great light weight hat, I've used them for Skiing ( both piste and back country), Climbing,hiking, running and backpacking. Oh did I mention work and around town. Only down side is they get a little sweaty when you're pushing hard in hot weather. Other than that it is my number one go to hat when I leave the house.
