Why We Like The Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Hybrid Shell Jacket
The Dawn Patrol Hybrid Shell is Black Diamond's backcountry-specific ski jacket that feels equally comfortable on the uphill as it does on the downhill, especially when it's powdery out there. Its BD.dry membrane is extremely waterproof, breathable, and even windproof. Black Diamond also added GTT's Empel Breathable Water Protection Technology, which is a water- and PFC-free DWR that's more durable and performs better than the competition. Softshell paneling provides extra breathable and a four-way stretch in key areas to keep comfy on the skin track.

So far Good

- Size Bought:
- Large
Bought it on sale. 5’9” 180 bought the large good fit. After reading reviews on the waterproofing, have not tested it out.hopefully this week with rain showers in the forecast. That’s is inportant in the PNW.

Sleeves too long
I am between a L and XL. 6’1 202Lbs. L was too small w a puff vest and transceiver and XL I have to roll back sleeve an inch. Otherwise lightweight and easily pacckable.

Great shell
To be fair this is my first shell designed for touring but I love it, well thought out features for ease of use and functionality.

Amazing!
I bought this because I needed something last minute for a trip. This jacket has been beyond amazing. It's lighter and way more stretchy than my previous jacket. I even used it in a SAR op recently and it kept all the dampness out.

Nicely made, loads of features. As previously mentioned, soft shell panels on the back and under the arms are not waterproof. So, this is a jacket for fair weather and spring ski tours.

Great light jacket
Bought this jacket for a spring backpacking trip when temps range from 30’s to 50’s. This jacket served great as an outer shell in the cool weather. Very comfortable and flexible with great ventilation. Only con is the position of the pockets. The pockets are located in your breast rather than at your side. Overall great jacket for autumn and spring time trips

Perfect
I needed a shell for touring, and this has all of the bells and whistles that I could ask for. Layering makes much more sense than wearing an insulated jacket on the slopes or in the backcountry, and this jacket is a great choice for a shell.

Breathable and Comfortable on lthru Hikes
did a thru hike at the appalachians and with the wet and cold weather, this jacket never failed to keep me dry and comfortable the whole trip and without having the feeling of restriction and a moist back.
