NEW Marmot Precip Jacket

Leading technical apparel and equipment brand, Marmot, have launched a brand new technology. NanoPro, an exclusive 2.5 layer dynamically air permeable coating is hitting the shelves on a range of products, including the Precip right now.

What does NanoPro mean for you?
The technology that NanoPro uses utilises a PU coating that has been micro-engineered to be more breathable than any other coating (and some membranes too) on the market. The microporous structure allows for air particles to pass through it as well as moisture vapour molecules. In a standard coating or membrane, this would not happen and moisture becomes trapped.

Ultimately, allowing air and moisture vapour to move through the jacket more freely, you, the user, are able to enjoy a more comfortable experience. In addition to this, the jacket is still totally, 100% waterproof.
