Men's softshell jacket Black Diamond Alpine Start amber (AP742015)

The Black Diamond Alpine Start amber men's softshell jacket stands out by combining advanced weather protection technologies with high breathability. The design focuses on providing freedom of movement and material durability, enhancing functionality during intense activity.

Advanced PFC-free DWR impregnation

The surface of the Alpine Start jacket is treated with a PFC-free DWR impregnation coating, which effectively increases water repellency without using harmful perfluorinated substances. This solution allows water droplets to run off the fabric efficiently, protecting the wearer from getting wet during light rain or mist. The elimination of PFCs is also a nod to environmental care in line with the latest industry standards. This technology is a key feature of any outdoor clothing aimed at ecological responsibility and user safety.

Flexible and durable softshell fabric

The jacket is made from a blend of 93% polyamide and 3% elastane, ensuring an optimal balance between mechanical resistance and flexibility. The material demonstrates excellent abrasion and stretch resistance while remaining lightweight and compact. The fabric structure allows for effective air exchange, supporting microclimate regulation next to the skin during increased exertion. As a result, the jacket performs excellently both as an outer layer for hiking and for everyday use.

Practical design solutions

The Black Diamond Alpine Start features a functional hood and a full-length zipper, providing quick adjustment to changing weather conditions. Zip pockets allow for secure storage of essential small items during hikes. The slim fit cut emphasises the jacket’s sporty character, enhancing comfort and range of motion. The thoughtful design supports outdoor activity, allowing comfortable use in various outdoor situations.
