An ultralight softshell designed to shield weightconscious climbers from ridgeline gusts and light weather, the Black Diamond Alpine Start Hoody features Schoeller stretch-woven fabric to provide highly breathable and highly packable weather resistance. An updated silhouette provides an increased range of motion and unrestricted movement, so that you can keep climbing even in windy and cold conditions. Elastic banding on hood, cuffs, and hem seals in warmth and secures fit, while a drop hem is harness-compatible.

I’ve used it for 15–20 hours while walking and cycling. It is exceptionally breathable, comfortable, and stylish. It packs down nicely and is truly versatile—suitable for everything from everyday wear to hiking, bike trips (though not the most aerodynamic), and more. It feels durable; I once took a hard spill into a ditch, and there wasn't a mark on it.| Overall rating |
I like it very much. The color is pretty and great.
