Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Softshell - Men's

Black Diamond engineered their Mens Dawn Patrol Softshell for backcountry days when breathability, stretch, and dependable weather resistance matter most. The shell uses a nylon-blend stretch double weave fabric with 63% nylon, 26% polyester, and 11% elastane, along with a PFAS-free DWR finish that helps fend off light snow and moisture. A helmet-compatible hood, slight drop-tail hem, and adjustable cuffs with minimalist Hypalon tabs help close gaps when the weather turns. Underarm gussets support a wide range of motion, which is especially helpful during skin tracks, bootpacks, and technical movement in the mountains. Black Diamond gives it real storage with two harness-compatible hand pockets, a chest pocket, and two internal drop pockets, so gloves, skins, or snacks can stay organized. At 635 grams, it offers more substance than an ultralight layer while still keeping the comfort and mobility expected from a performance softshell. The overall design favors active use, making it a natural fit for skiers who move hard uphill but still need protection on exposed descents. Their Dawn Patrol Softshell stands out as a versatile touring outer layer with thoughtful ski-specific features and a clean, functional build.
