Highline Stretch Shell - Men's

I am a user of this jacket it is super dry and very very warm.

I wore this on a cold rainy hike in Washington state. I usually overheat in any type of shell but kept cool and dry the whole time. Great stuff.

Recently moving to the Pacific Northwest, I under estimated the need for a top performance rain jacket for outdoor activities. This is absolutely the jacket to have. This jacket is breathable, waterproof to the most extreme waterfall (and rainfall), keeps you dry and warm. A must add to enhance your enjoyment of the any rainy season. My buddy said his jacket was waterproof - look at the difference.

A large fits over my medium mission jacket quite well, long enough to cover the jacket, lots if room, the pit zips are a plus, but cannot put hands in jacket pockets through the zip. I find it to be exactly the shell/ jacket combination for a winter trip to Japan! Would I recommend?? DING-DONG SKIPPY!

I have been long-searching for a rain shell that is perfectly tailored for mountaineering and climbing that isn't minimalist. The BD Highline Stretch Shell is perfect in every category: It has a long hem to cover your waist even with a harness over it, it has higher hand pockets to accommodate a harness, it's got pit vents for dumping heat, longer arms that cinch up nice and don't pull below your wrist when climbing, a two-way zipper which is imperative for using a harness underneath or dumping heat and accessing inner layers, and a hood that fits over a climbing helmet! This jacket's particular fabric is also neat because it feels like a mix between a lighter jacket and a thick, heavy gore-tex jacket. The fabric is heavy enough to provide durability and waterproofness that hold up against abrasion, bushwacking, and more and yet is not an overly heavy, hot, stiff gore-tex shell. I really appreciate the cool moss/green color as well. I also love the fit. I'm ~150lbs, 6th athletic build and the medium fits like a charm. More importantly, it has extra room to fit layers perfectly underneath and not feel tight - something that most other brand jackets have issues with. Thanks BD for making an awesome shell with all the feature and logical, common sense additions that make this jacket my go-to.

I just got back from a classically wet November hike up to 4,393' in the White Mountains. I wore a light baselayer and the Highline shell performed fantastically. The pit zips kept things from getting too sweaty and I felt well protected from the light snow and heavier snow falling off trees. I loved the cut - a little more material than BD's lighter rain shells. It was large enough to cover my backside and keep me warm on the descent.
