DIAD and gone to heaven

Ranked #1597 - Men's Technical Shells

After owning last years model and loving it, I just bought another one for my brother. This is my go to jacket for late spring through mid fall. It packs down to nothing so it can be easily stowed in any pack, arguably handles rainstorms better than gore-tex and my green one was vibrant and eye-catching. Obviously it's not intended as a lightweight replacement for winter jackets, it's for rain. No reason to believe durability will become an issue as I'm abusive to all my gear (this jacket has been AT skiing, backpacking, and mountain biking), and the DIAD holds up.
