Product Description
Black Diamond Stormline Stretch Rain Shell is a moderately priced, 2.5-layer waterproof/breathable rain jacket that’s lightweight enough for year-round use and for multiple sports from skiing and climbing to hiking and backpacking. It has most of the functionality that hikers and backpackers want, including an adjustable hood with a front brim, pit zips, zippered handwarmer pockets, and rip-and-stick velcro-style cuffs. The Stormline is also fully seam taped and repels rain and wind nicely. In addition, there is a slight amount of stretch built into the exterior fabric that makes it comfortable and quiet to wear while still providing extra room for layering.
