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 to the summit with total protection from inclement weather.  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.

Extremely light yet durable

Rating:*****

I am surprisingly in love with this jacket. When I got it, I first thought there was no way it'd keep me dry in a downpour since it's so thin. Lately, Mother Nature's let me test that out, though, and it proved to work great. I used it biking in Gooseberry, hiking in Park City (it's breathable and light) and got compliments on it at a party on Saturday, too. Above all, it takes up hardly any room in the pack when you need to shed it.

Too short

Rating:****

This is a really cute jacket but it was a little too short for my style. If you want a jacket to cover your behind, don't get this one. The Venture is longer.

best 3-season jacket for sports!

Rating:*****

I use this jacket for spring skiing, spring/summer/fall running/snowshoeing, biking, hiking...whatever. It is super lightweight and packable and comfortable.
