You left the trail head at 4:30 this morning to avoid the violent thunderstorms that barrel down on Colorado's Longs Peak. Unfortunately for your group, afternoon storms quickly roll in after reaching the summit of this lofty 14er. You unzip your pack and rapidly retrieve the Columbia Men's Diablo Creek Rain Shell before the sky unleashes a torrent of wind swept rain and piercing hail stones. While your friends are subjected to severe weather, the Diablo Creek's Omni Tech membrane keeps you pleasantly protected, even in the pouring rain and whipping wind. You find a rock to hide behind for a bit of shelter while you pull the hood and hem drawcords tight against your body. As the storm grows stronger, you're glad the jacket's fully sealed construction acts as an impenetrable fortress from the afternoon deluge. Finally, the clouds depart just as quickly as they came, allowing you to quickly fold the jacket in its hand pocket as you continue down the trail.
