"I really liked the fit. Runs true to size, I could wear it stand alone and over all my other layers and it still fit. No issues at all with the waterproofing and the under arm zips allowed for great ventilation during ascents. Absolutely love this product!"
"I needed a rainjacket while I was biketouring in Europe, I got recommended this one by an outdoor shop, it was fantastic at first but after 1 month of use it started inflitrating water from the shoulder stich and arms, making me soaking wet in harsh environment, (paid 180 euro there), pretty disappointed, I tought black diamond was a good brand, I guess their quality control is not optimal. . . ."
"Highly flexible and very comfortable for all sorts of activities. Thin enough to be worn in any situations."
"This replaced my trusty Outdoor Research Helium Rain Jacket that I had for about 10 years. I kept holding off on replacing it, eventhough it was soaking through, because I could not find something that fit well, functioned well, and felt durable (but still breathable). Tried on the Fineline Stretch and it is excellent. Great for bike commuting, hiking, and fishing. 10/10 recommend."
"I purchased this for a trip to Iceland. It kept me dry not only in the rain, but standing under a waterfall. It was comfortable hiking, easy to stuff in a day pack when the sun came out, and an essential item on my trip."
"Comfortable, fitted, packs down but doesnt stay crumply, great outlet price, dry. Pants great as well."
"Light and great quality. I love it"
"Bought this for a year-long trip around the world. The good: Lightweight and good looking, fit is great The bad: after about 5 months of moderate use it wasnt waterproof anymore. I have other rain jackets from other brands and this is by far the quickest to become obsolete. More like a wind jacket now. . ."
"This raincoat nails both style and function. The silhouette is clean and flattering, with just enough stretch to stay comfortable on the move. I especially love the underarm vents for breathability and the zippered pockets for secure storage. The hood is roomy without being bulky, and it packs down into itself, which is perfect for travel. Best of all, it weighs next to nothing—easy to carry, easy to wear."
"Bought this to keep stashed in my climbing pack for random showers. It does its job admirably and packs down plenty small enough to be a backup rain jacket!"
