Black Diamond

Alpine Start Hoody $179 A lean all-business shell of tough Schoeller fabric perfect for a summer alpine layer in case of mild precipitation, wind or cool belays. It stuffs in its own pocket that has a carabiner clip so it’s easy to dangle from your harness, just in case. The Schoeller stretches and gussets under the arms make it comfortable to wear while climbing. A chest pocket is perfect for a topo or an energy bar. The drawcord hem on the waist and helmet-sized hood come in handy if a little extra weather protection is needed. A recommended light piece for moving fast on long routes or insurance against cool weather at the crag.
