Black Diamond Men's Dawn Patrol Hybrid Shell

Stop the endless cycle of layering and delayering during high-output alpine starts. The Black Diamond Men’s Dawn Patrol Hybrid Shell is engineered for the "active" backcountry skier who needs maximum thermal regulation without sacrificing weather protection. Whether you’re grinding through steep kick turns on the skin track or transitioning for a high-speed descent, this shell moves with you.

Designers utilized body-mapping technology to place our proprietary BD.dry™ waterproof/breathable laminate (rated at 20,000mm/20,000g/m²/24hr) in high-exposure areas like the hood and shoulders. To prevent overheating, we integrated an air-permeable softshell fabric in high-heat zones. This allows for superior moisture vapor transfer, letting you keep the shell on during the uphill "grind" while remaining shielded from wind and spindrift.

Technical Features for the Backcountry:

• Four-way stretch fabric: Provides unrestricted mobility for technical climbing and aggressive skiing.

• GTT’s Empel Breathable Water Protection: An environmentally friendly, PFC-free DWR that outperforms standard finishes in durability

• Ski-specific details: Features a helmet-compatible hood, integrated sleeve gussets, and two harness-compatible chest pockets for easy access to your topo map or snacks.
