Dawn Patrol Shell delivers breathable protection and stretch for high-output touring days
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This shell keeps me moving through long uphill pushes and offers just enough coverage when the weather turns. It fits great over my layers and under a pack, and the stretch fabric is ideal for dynamic transitions."
We reach for the Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Shell when the day calls for fast transitions, steep skin tracks, and unpredictable skies. Designed with the backcountry in mind, this highly mobile shell blends a weather-resistant DWR finish with a four-way stretch-woven fabric that offers exceptional breathability and freedom of movement.
A slightly extended drop-tail hem and gusseted underarms ensure coverage and range of motion, while two skin-sized chest pockets and an internal media pocket keep essentials close and dry. Finished with an adjustable, helmet-compatible hood and minimalist Hypalon cuffs, this piece is lightweight and dialed for year-round mountain travel. Whether it's spring corn or midwinter powder laps, the Dawn Patrol Shell is ready to ride.
