Black Diamond Men's First Light 1.0 Stretch Hoody-MIDNIGHT BLUE

The Black Diamond Men's First Light 1.0 Stretch Hoody in Black is engineered for athletes who push into the mountains before sunrise and come home after dark. This midlayer bridges the gap between a light insulating piece and a breathable active layer, giving you one garment that works across a wide range of conditions without forcing you to stop and swap layers.

At the core of this design is PrimaLoft Gold Active Insulation, placed strategically in the hood, chest, and arms. This migration-resistant fill traps warmth even when conditions shift unexpectedly, while a blended merino wool backing and sleeve construction pulls moisture away from the skin and allows excess heat to escape during high-output movement.

The result is a hoody that keeps you in your comfort zone whether you are belaying in shade or moving fast on a steep approach. The shell is built from lightweight 20D stretch nylon ripstop, a fabric choice that prioritizes packability and freedom of motion without sacrificing durability.

A PFAS-free DWR coating provides light weather protection against unexpected rain or snow, so you stay dryer longer without adding bulk. Four-way stretch throughout the construction means the hoody moves with you through full arm extensions, high steps, and dynamic climbing sequences without binding or pulling. Black is a practical choice for a technical midlayer.

It pairs cleanly with any shell or base layer, resists visible soiling on long trips, and maintains a professional look in the gym or at the crag. The Black Diamond First Light 1.0 Stretch Hoody delivers focused, purposeful performance designed for the demands of real mountain environments.
