Black Diamond Men's Rift Half-Zip Fleece Jacket-BLACK-BLACK

The Black Diamond Men's Rift Half-Zip Fleece Jacket in Black answers a simple question: is anything more crucial on a climbing trip than a classic fleece? This jacket is soft, casual, and comfortable, carrying just the right amount of warmth for belay breaks, camp evenings, and everyday wear. The fabric is 100% CiCLO recycled polyester fleece, a technology that allows the synthetic fibers to biodegrade more like natural materials, cutting down on the microplastic pollution linked to traditional synthetics.

Half-zip construction keeps the design clean and simple while still letting you vent heat on a warm approach. A stand-up collar adds coverage around the neck when wind picks up, and a zippered contrast chest pocket, built from stretch ripstop, gives the jacket a tidy finish along with a secure spot for small items.

The regular fit sits with comfortable ease, not too slim and not too relaxed, so it layers easily under a shell or stands on its own for a day at the crag.

At 249 grams and available in sizes S through XL, the Black colorway keeps this fleece practical for heavy rotation, whether it is riding in a climbing pack, layered under a puffy on a cold belay, or worn straight from the trailhead into town.

The overlay fabric is a woven mechanical stretch polyester ripstop that holds its shape at the collar and pocket, and the recycled body fabric gives outdoor teams a sustainability angle worth mentioning in a corporate gifting program. Black Diamond built the Rift Half-Zip as a dependable go-to layer for climbers who do not want to think twice about what to grab on the way out the door.
