Your Go-To Layer for Every Alpine Start – Black Diamond Women's Alpine Start Hoody, Brand Sample
The Black Diamond Women's Alpine Start Hoody is the versatile softshell layer that serious mountain athletes reach for first — lightweight, breathable, and stretchy enough to move with you from the approach to the summit and back. Built from BD's premium softshell fabric with a helmet-compatible hood and a trim, athletic fit, the Alpine Start Hoody is the layer that stays on all day because it never gets in the way. This piece arrives in a bold Orange colorway as a Brand Sample — never sold at retail, in pristine condition straight from Black Diamond's own line.
Size: M | Color: Orange | Condition: Sample – Field-Tested | Original Retail: $229.00
Key Features:
- Lightweight Stretch Softshell Fabric: BD's premium four-way stretch softshell delivers exceptional breathability and freedom of movement for high-output alpine, climbing, and ski touring activities.
- Helmet-Compatible Hood: A low-profile, adjustable hood fits cleanly under a helmet for climbing and skiing, or provides standalone coverage on the approach and descent.
- Trim Athletic Fit: A performance-focused silhouette that layers cleanly over base layers and under shells without bunching, binding, or restricting movement.
- Wind & Light Weather Resistant: Softshell construction provides meaningful protection from wind and light precipitation during active mountain pursuits without sacrificing breathability.
- High-Visibility Orange Colorway: A bold, safety-conscious color that keeps you visible on the mountain and stands out on the crag — performance and presence in one striking package.
Ideal for the serious climber, ski tourer, or alpinist who wants a premium softshell hoody that performs across a wide range of mountain conditions. As a Brand Sample, this piece has never been on a retail floor — you're getting Black Diamond's iconic Alpine Start Hoody in pristine condition at a fraction of the $229 retail price. Start early. Go far.
