Whether you're starting an alpine route in the pre-dawn darkness or descending by headlamp after a long day on the mountain, the Black Diamond First Light 1.0 Stretch Hoody delivers precisely targeted warmth where you need it most. This intelligent midlayer uses strategic PrimaLoft Gold Active insulation mapping in your core heat zones while incorporating breathable merino wool backing to prevent overheating during high-output climbs. The helmet-compatible hood seamlessly accommodates your climbing or ski helmet, while the packable design compresses into its own chest pocket so you can easily stash it when the sun comes up and temps rise. Built with a lightweight 20D stretch nylon ripstop shell and PFAS-free DWR coating, this versatile hoody moves with you through technical terrain while shrugging off moisture, making it the ideal companion for serious mountaineers and alpine climbers who demand performance that keeps pace with their ambitions.
