Why We Like The Black Diamond Fineline Stretch Shell
Weather can change in the blink of an eye, so we throw the Black Diamond Fineline Stretch Shellinto our pack for versatile protection in a pinch. This lightweight shell is an update of Black Diamond's Stormline, made with their BD.Dry 2.5-layer construction for waterproof, breathable protection on trail runs and day hikes alike, while the stretchy fabric and underarm gussets provide the free-ranging mobility needed to bag peaks. And weighing just under ten ounces, this jacket can be stowed in its own chest pocket and neatly packed away when the sun comes out.

Perfect for skiing in Tahoe. Sleeves too long.
This shell fits right over my puff jacket. It's easy to stow away in a small backpack or sling bag. The flexibility allows easy movement without feeling stiff. My only gripe is that the sleeves are too long. It would be nice to see a shorter sleeve option for people with shorter arms.

The shell that can do anything
This shell can take a beating and keep going whether it be the rain, the wind, or the cold! Recently used it to skin up ski slopes in the white mountains when the weather was in the single digits with just a base layer and a vest underneath. Also have used it on rainy days while hiking. The color pops and provides good visibility while the construction of the seems and hood provides quality protection from anything mother nature has to throw at you! Packs down small so that you can always have it in your pack to be prepared.

Versatile Shell
Works really well for trial running and climbing as a rain shell. It also works great for skiing, does very well in the snow. Good windbreaker as well. And on top of all that it's super light for packing.

Top-Notch Jacket
Top-notch jacket. Sizing is slightly smaller than my other BD gear so keep that in mind especially if you're trying to layer underneath.

Versatile
This jacket performs in quality and durability along the best in its class from competitors. From hail to downpour to blizzard to lite mist, this jacket protects, I’ve had ice crystallized to the entire exterior and I’ve had rain beaded for hours on end, this jacket fits well and is simple and practical. It leans heavy on the breathable side which is amazing for spring through fall ascents. It also makes a great daily driver to keep in the car for the rainy season. After wearing a backpack for a few months the dwr on the shoulders wore away, to be expected and self maintainable. A must have jacket in the quiver.

Perfect light weight shell
I was looking for a light weight shell that I could use as an outermost layer for bad weather days. Though haven’t had a chance to test them for how waterproof they are. Delighted with the size, fit and finish. I am 5’8” and 154 lbs and size medium is a perfect fit with room to spare for layering. Love the color (Indigo). Overall very happy with the purchase.

Good rain wear for the price
Waterproof jacket that works, good, slimmer fit. Not as stretchy as expected, and breathability is average (compare to Goretex Active for example). However, for the price it is a decent rain wear that I would recommend.

Great jacket!
Super lightweight and packable. Love the weight as it’s a perfect backpacking, climbing, and more as an add on layer. Bomber waterproofing too. I’m 6’0 and large is perfect

Stellar Jacket
This jacket is extremely well designed with its simplicity and elegance. The BDdry fabric is top quality and will keep you dry even through the worst storms. The true highlight of this jacket is the helmet-compatible hood and the associated cinch. I also have the Recon insulated shell that uses the same design and lI ove it. It makes the hood useable with and without a helmet. BD knocked it out of the park with this one. I am 5'9" and 180 pounds and bought a medium and it fits perfectly with light clothing underneath.
