Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Softshell Jacket - Midnight Blue - Men's L

Skinning up a couloir before sunrise, you need a jacket that moves with you and shrugs off spindrift. The Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Softshell Jacket in Midnight Blue for men size L is built for alpine starts and ridgeline scrambles. Its Schoeller® stretch-woven fabric delivers 4-way stretch, while the DWR finish sheds light precipitation and blocks wind. The helmet-compatible hood adjusts over a ski or climbing helmet, and the YKK® Vislon front zipper slides smoothly even with gloves on. Two zippered hand pockets and a chest pocket keep essentials secure, while hook-and-loop cuffs and a single-pull hem seal out drafts. Whether you're belaying in a brisk wind or reaching for the next hold, this softshell balances protection and mobility.
