In times when the weather is questionable but the hike is agreed on, Black Diamond StormLine Jacket ought to be stored in your backpack. This lightweight, windproof and waterproof unit has a four-way stretch design along with underarm gussets that lets you climb and reach with no movement restrictions. And if the rain appears on the horizon, the built-in hood with space for a helmet will protect you from getting drenched.
This jacket’s versatility is envied by its competitors for obvious reasons. It’s well-equipped for riding on a motorbike in Vietnam as much as walking a dog when it’s pouring. Besides, the BD.Dry material is proven to be durable too – dozens of washes do not change its performance abilities whatsoever. If you are still considering to invest in a multipurpose jacket, it might be a good idea to give this one by Black Diamond a try.
