Black Diamond Alpine Start

The Black Diamond Alpine Start is a lightweight technical climbing jacket designed for freedom of movement on demanding walls and alpine approaches. Its nylon–elastane fabric combines flexibility with abrasion resistance, while PFAS-free DWR treatment helps shield you from moisture.

A helmet-compatible adjustable hood, elasticated edges and an extended back panel provide dependable coverage in exposed conditions. The packable chest pocket with carabiner loop makes it especially well suited to climbers and mountaineers who value low-bulk protection and practical details.
