The original Black Diamond Alpine Shirt bit the dust years ago, but it's been bettered and brought back to life as the B. D. V. Men's Softshell Jacket, a light-and-fast climbing softshell made to help you get to the top and back down in one dry, comfortable piece. Made with Schoeller stretch-woven fabric and climbing-specific gusseted underarms, the B. D. V. won't leave you pinned in a stemmy corner unable to move your arms, and the NanoSphere technology will shed water to keep you from getting soggy in a drizzle. It weighs under a pound, stows away in its own pocket, and even has a carabiner loop so you can clip it to your harness when the sun pops out and things start to dry off.
