Black Diamond

Highline Shell Jacket - Women's

BD.Dry technology is Black Diamond's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric system. It keeps moisture from the outside out while allowing sweat and heat to escape from the inside. This means you stay dry and comfortable during activities like hiking, climbing, or skiing, even in wet conditions.

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off instead of soaking in. This feature is particularly useful in light rain or snow, as it helps keep you dry without adding bulk or weight to the jacket.

A 3-layer construction consists of an outer layer (the face fabric), a waterproof and breathable membrane (like BD.Dry), and an inner protective lining. This design maximizes protection against harsh weather while ensuring comfort, making it ideal for serious outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable gear.

Fully sealed seams are crucial because they prevent water from leaking through the stitching, which is often a weak point in waterproof gear. By ensuring that all seams are sealed, the jacket provides enhanced waterproof protection, keeping you dry even in heavy rain or snow.

A climbing helmet-compatible jacket features a hood designed to fit comfortably over a climbing helmet. This is essential for climbers, as it allows them to wear their safety gear without compromising the fit or function of the jacket, ensuring both safety and comfort during climbs.

The combination of BD.Dry technology, DWR coating, 3-layer construction, fully sealed seams, and climbing helmet compatibility ensures that you stay dry, comfortable, and protected from the elements. These features enhance your outdoor experience by allowing you to focus on your activities without worrying about the weather or your gear.
