"This shell kept me protected from rain and sleet in steady mid 20mph winds and 40+mph gusts on a 14er in Colorado. Lightweight and nice shell to have in the daypack if the weather is on edge."
"The same performance that you expect from Black Diamond in a color that I actually prefer to this year‘s selections. The best thing yet is that I managed to get it at a discount. Double win."
"I used this almost everyday for my 215 mile Iceland crossing the others in my group all had leaks and wet clothes and I stayed nice and dry! During the dust storms it kept me nice and warm and didn't get dust inside. I love this jacket!"
"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. . . ."
"Blown away by the thoughtfulness and craftsmanship put into this jacket."
"Lightweight and packable this piece of gear is an essential if you like staying dry on those unpredictable days in the alpine environment! Top recommend!"
"This shell is lightweight & breathable yet functional and protective."
"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."
