Black Diamond Mens M Stormline Stretch Rain Shell

This jacket is great. It's now going to be my go-to for backpacking on the Appalachian Trail or Rocky Mountains when temps are not low enough to warrant a heavier lined jacket. I took it for a test run this past weekend in the Smokey Mountains, where temps fluctuated between 30 and 61 degrees and steady rainfall feel during long portions of one day in particular. The jacket kept me completely dry. It was also light enough to backpack with it on and one t-shirt underneath. The armpit vents helped kept me from overheating or gathering moisture as I hiked. The material also kept the cold sub-30 degree strong winds from getting to me as well. It was slim enough to not interfere with movement (I hate bulky jackets or clothing), and yet roomy enough to allow for me to add several layers underneath when temps were low. That said, if I would have stayed in the cold for longer periods of time without hiking or doing exercise, I believe I would have started to get cold. For colder temps and comfort, I go with my Columbia Men's Last Tracks Jacket. That jacket has been stellar for me in the single digit to freezing temp, snowy, ice-rain weather. The jacket has velcro on the end of the sleeves which is great at keeping the rain and wind out. It's hood is also very well designed in combination with how far up the zipper goes to create a nice barrier for your head and face. It's got like some sort of plastic wire in the cap of the hood, which I found helpful for keeping rain off my face... it was like the bill of a baseball hat. I like the zippered water proof pockets too. I also appreciated that the branding is low key and is not obnoxious like other brands. The string on the bottom of the jacket is good also, because it can be pulled to cinch the jacket and keep the wind from getting underneath and onto your core. I'm the kind of shopper who will spend a little extra money for a product (especially a useful one) if the product is well made and is of excellent quality. This jacket was worth the $$$ and I'd highly recommend. As far as sizing goes... I'm a fit 6' tall, 170-175 lbs, so I went with a medium. It was an ideal fit for me.

Ordered for my son who is an EMT and he LOVES it. The type of material will not soak in anything! So if any type of fluids gets on it, they will just roll off.

Though it is well made and a quality product it did not fit me correctly and I am returning it. I would recommend it however.

Good fit. I live in a pretty warm climate (Hawaii), and find the jacket to be a little less breathable than I had hoped. Wear it on the golf course for the frequent rain showers we get over here. So far, so good 👍🏼6

One of slimmer fitting rain jackets. It makes a an awesome outer shell, it’s tight fitting, but leaves enough space for layering. The jacket it’s self is very breathable, and the pit zips are a great idea.

I have gotten tons of compliments on the color of it. Black diamond never disappoints on outdoor gear. Very hydrophobic and breathes well, but stops windchill

Fits well, very lightweight and easy to pack or stash....and waterproof.

Black Diamond never lets me down

Seriously cool rain jacket.

Brilliant got it for a gift

La prenda está muy buen confeccionada, los materiales agradables de usar, la he usado bajo lluvia y es eficiente, el problema es que las mangas son tan largas que las tengo que enrollar, mido 1.68 compré tala S y me quedo muy larga!!!

Ja, funktioniert, diese Jacke lässt kein Tröpfchen durch. Sie ist sehr leicht und praktisch genäht. Die Verarbeitung mach einen guten Eindruck. Sie passt, ist nicht zu eng. Komisch ist nur, daß der Reißverschluss bei meinem Modell auf der falschen Seite ist...

憧れのブラックダイヤモンド、メンズSで、ゆったり着てます。ファスナー差し込みが、女性とは逆です(^_^;)知らなかった軽くて、コンパクトにパッキング出来ます
