Men's minimalist windproof jacket with exceptional packability for fast and light mountain activities. This is the lightest high-performance softshell jacket in Black Diamond's apparel collection and is perfect for those early morning starts when ski touring, running or approach.
Built for days that start long before the sun comes up, the Alpine Start Hoody is an ultralight, softshell windshirt that offers minimalist-minded protection against stiff ridgeline breezes and light, unexpected precip.
As useful on summer alpine rock routes as it is on a mid-winter skin track, the streamlined Alpine Start features lightweight Schoeller stretch-woven shell fabric that shields against wind and moisture while still remaining incredibly breathable.
Optimized minimalism both in design and intention, the Alpine Start Hoody is essential protection against ridgeline gusts and light precip. The highly packable design stows inside its chest pocket and features an internal carabiner clip loop for easy racking on your harness.
Adjustable, helmet-compatible hood
Highly packable design stows in zippered chest pocket with a carabiner clip loop
NanoSphere® technology: The natural non-stick and cleaning process, also known as the self-cleaning effect, is transferred to the surface of textiles by means of nano technology. Compared to traditional textile impregnation processes, NanoSphere® achieves significantly better results with regards to:
Water and dirt repelling properties
Oil repelling properties
Washing permanence
The protective function of NanoSphere® is still retained after frequent use and numerous washing cycles and has no effect on clothing comfort, look, feel, breath ability or elasticity.
