From rain forest epics to backcountry exploits, the waterproof Stretch Diad Jacket from The North Face delivers ultra-light rain protection to fast and light adventurers. Sewn seams are replaced with sealed seams for waterproofness, reduced weight and bulk, and increased comfort. Specifications based on size Large.
The Stretch Diad Jacket by The North Face is a jacket that makes up their Summit Series jackets and is designed to get you up and to the summit with total protection and safety. The Stretch Diad is a fully waterproof, seam sealed outer jacket that offers stretch and easy movement while you hike and scramble to the top. The HyVent DT is an applied polyurethane coating combined with a DT print matrix which acts as a dry touch, half layer coating. The HyVent eliminates the need for a liner which in turn keeps you from getting clammy and wet.
The Stretch Diad is a basic waterproof shell that has a fully adjustable hood with a laminated brim and mini core vents so you can breathe without letting water in.
Slashing through the entry gate to Baker's side-country, The North Face Men's Stretch Diad Jacket gives you exceptional flex to make your move. With mechanical stretch inserts, this performance fit shell doesn't hold you back as you snug up the fully adjustable hood, hideaway hem cinchcord, and reverse-coil zippers of this waterproof, breathable nylon ripstop HyVent™ DT shell. After a river plum of face shots dive into the Napoleon pocket for an altitude check and break open the mini core vents for the up-track out.

HIGHLY Recommended! | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| The STRETCH DIAD is an excellent jacket. Summit Series gear definitely reigns superior. Especially functional during the rain and wind. The water beads up & does not penetrate. The hood is very helpful, but is not stoweable. The jacket runs pretty true to size, but hugs the arm-pit area a little more than other TNF jackets I've owned, and the hand-pockets are stationed a touch higher than on others. It is waterproof, packable, durable, comfortable & extremely light weight. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! | |

No Swamp-Sweat Here! | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| A very appropriate, spring, light weight jacket. The molten red color is very vivid. One thing of note, the mini core vents, in my opinion, are disappropriately placed - they open right on my rib-cage area. It seems as if this is an extention of the handpockets. This 100% nylon jacket, coated w/HyVent DT is strikingly competitive with gore-tex as far as the waterproofing. | |

| Love this jacket for spring ski tours!It packs away light you almost forget you have it in your pack!Also works well for road riding and mountain biking or rainy trail runs!Also good for emergencies on rock climbs. Do not expect it to replace a three ply gore tex jacket in extreme winter conditions! | |

| I bought this jacket, before I went to Amsterdam where it rains alot. This jacket was excellent. I used it several days and it performed just as expected. Would recommend this jacket to anyone that is in the market for a lite rain jacket. | |
