The North Face Diad Jacket - Men's
Amazingly lightweight waterproof shell at a bargain

Living in the Pacific Northwest, I wanted a lightweight waterproof shell that I could use for outdoor runs. I was considering the M Venture Jacket, also by The North Face. However, when you compare the too, the DIAD is clearly several steps ahead. Even at the sale price the DIAD costs more than the M Venture's full price, but the DIAD is almost half the weight. With the added features of seamed front zipper, the DIAD doesn't need the flap over the front zipper, like the M Venture needs. This is a big feature advantage as I often get the zipper caught in these zipper flaps. I am very happy with the DIAD.
