Black Diamond

Dawn Patrol Shell - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is my go-to for high-output tours when I need weather resistance without overheating. The fabric moves with me, the helmet-compatible hood fits perfectly over my climbing and ski helmets, and the underarm gussets make transitions and tricky moves feel natural."

From early morning approaches to exposed ridgelines, the Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Softshell keeps us protected without holding us back. Its four-way stretch fabric with a DWR finish shields us from wind and light snow, while maintaining the breathability we need for long ascents. Built for high-output missions, this softshell handles shifting conditions with ease.

The adjustable helmet-compatible hood, underarm gussets, and drop-tail hem ensure full coverage and mobility in technical terrain. Harness-compatible hand pockets, chest pocket, and internal drop pockets keep essentials close, while adjustable cuffs with Hypalon hook-and-loop tabs fine-tune the fit. This jacket is made to keep us moving efficiently from valley floor to summit.
