Ultra lightweight wind layer.
I always throw this in my pack for multi pitch climbing. It weigh nothing and takes up no space. It will stay dry in light rain but anything else, your getting wet. I also bring it running when the weather is questionable. You can fold it up small enough to shove in a running fanny pack.

Perfect layer for someone that runs Hot!
This is the exact layer I need when guiding on Rainier for when it is too warm in the night to wear a vest, but too windy to only have a long sleeve shirt.

Great!
I love this as a general windbreaker layer on multipitch days or long hikes. Its extremely light weight. It takes up almost no space so its extremely packable. It wets out pretty easy but i did do a pretty decent job keeping me dry in a slight drizzle.

simply perfect wind shell
I carry my BD Distance Wind Shell jacket everywhere, because it is just that good. GTT works exceptionally well at repelling water, so the jacket stands up well to light drizzles. It traps enough heat in while being fairly breathable that it is great shell to keep you warm during any pauses in sweaty activities, and it does what it should do in providing great wind protection. I am very happy BD integrated a hood bungee to cinch down to keep the hood on your head. The jacket definitely proved its worth during a week-long trek getting sand blasted in the Gobi Desert, while breathing sufficiently in temps reaching low to mid 80F/27C. It kept me dry in the light drizzle on my last day and helped keep me warm by trapping air as a shell over my mid-layer when temps dropped into the 40F/4C. I've worn in over thicker mid-layer in sustained heavy winds another mountainous trek at 4000m/13k feet with sleet and temps around the freezing point. Since it's so compact and lightweight, it comes with me everywhere, because I know I can rely on it.

Light and comfortable
So small and light that I only notice it's there when I need it. I'm 5'8", 185 lbs and the size M is comfortably form-fitting.

With all black diamond products
With all black diamond products the quality is great and it’s very good at stopping wind.

Extremely lightweight and packable
I have only worn it briefly but seems to be good quality. Things that impacted my purchase would include: Lightweight. Packable. Made in a more sustainable way. Athletic tapered fit unlike other brand that fit very poorly. A bit expensive in my opinion but if it performs well and doesn’t deteriorate after some wear time then it might be worth the msrp.
