My current Precip is my second one, the first one is losing a bit of waterproof inner around the neck area, but it's still good for a year or two yet. First one is about 6 years old now. Excellent jackets, very light and packable and the underarm zipped vents help keep condensation down quite well. For days when there may be just a light shower, I carry a Berghaus Cloudline windproof jacket. It's no longer available, but it packs down to a size a bit bigger than a tennis ball, it's got a hood, it's windproof and showerproof. I got it for £25. I'm usually very warm when walking and a runners jacket is a good bet for me for light showers. It sometimes pays to think outside the "walkers" box.
