Today is not a beautiful day in Iowa. It is a rainy, cool day in Iowa, perfect for a rain piece. But just a PreCip jacket may feel a little clammy in this 50 degree weather while running...what to do?




It is the perfect conditions for the new Marmot Streamline jacket! A fully DriClime lined PreCip jacket, this piece manages moisture on the inside with the bi-component knit DriClime material, but keeps you dry as well. Now, was I wearing this great piece today? No, but i am still very impressed.

My 14 month old son, Zander, and i were caught in the rain this morning and his open stroller did not fully cover his head and body. I tucked the Streamline around him and headed back to the car as fast as we could move to try and avoid the impending deluge. Back at the car i quickly went to pull Zander out to find him fast asleep. Warm and dry, the Steamline held up to the test. Great piece, Marmot. Check it out at www.marmot.com!
