Black Diamond Highline Stretch Shell Jacket - Men's Waterproof Breathable Membrane Jacket

Alpine weather can turn from clear skies to driving rain in minutes, leaving you exposed and chilled on the route. The Black Diamond Highline Stretch Shell Jacket is built to solve that problem, delivering reliable waterproof protection and breathable comfort when you need it most. Its BD.dry™ 3-layer membrane keeps moisture out while allowing sweat vapor to escape, so you stay dry from both outside and inside. The stretch nylon face fabric moves with you through every high reach and technical maneuver, and the PFC-free DWR treatment sheds light precipitation without harming the environment.

Who is it for

This jacket is made for alpine climbers, mountaineers, hikers, and backpackers who demand dependable weather protection without sacrificing mobility. It fits a regular, alpine cut that layers easily over midlayers and under a harness, with a helmet-compatible hood that adjusts for full coverage. Whether you're leading a pitch in spitting rain or hiking a windy ridge, this shell keeps you focused on the objective.
