Why We Like The Black Diamond First Light Hybrid Hooded Jacket
We all like breathable insulated jackets for high-output pursuits—like Black Diamond's First Light Hybrid Hooded Jacket. Its hybrid construction balances insulation and breathability by blending premium Primaloft Gold Active insulation with merino wool-blend panels for a hoodie that holds in heat in cold conditions but also breathes when we're burning mad calories on the crag, skin track, or running trail. The nylon shell sheds light precipitation, stretches for added mobility, and provides a low-profile hood that fits under our helmet, so we can try to master the mountain.

Remarkable breathability
Not excessively thermal and highly breathable, very good!

Very weak material
I will say that the warranty team was very helpful with this product. I have never seen a layer of this quality start to break down and pill/rip so easily. The first layer took about 3 weeks before the entire jacket was pilled, I could no longer wear it as an outer layer without embarrassment. The warranty team sent me another jacket and I was hoping it was a one off, I was wrong. This jacket started to break down in the same amount of time. It is a light jacket and good for layering, but man, I have never seen a jacket pill like this. It is no longer an everyday jacket, I need to use my mountain hardware and arcteryx jackets out in public.

Perfect
Great puffy jacket. Great for runs in cold, 20°F runs. Perfect size to wear underneath a rain jacket. Ordered a large and perfect size for my 5'7, 178lbs size. Bodybuilder type build. Would buy again

So comfortable!
I got this for backcountry touring specifically, but after using it BC once and loving it so much, I've found this now good for cold runs or bike rides as well. Super warm but lightweight, but super breathable and I don't feel like I build up too much heat in it even while touring or running.

Great active layer
Amazing active layer that has a snug fit so it will easily work with more insulating layers or rain jackets if needed.

Great jacket for the right mission
I typically use this coat for ski touring with a pack. The jacket works great for this on cold ascents. It breaths well and keeps you warm where you need it. BUT, they really messed up and did NOT put inner pockets or large chest pockets for ski skins in this jacket. For that reason alone, this jacket often gets left behind. I have last seasons version (2022/2023), but I don't see reference to adding skin pockets in the latest iteration.

Comfortable, functional jacket
I love the feel and functionality of this jacket. It is lightweight, has pockets where you need them and compact. A great base layer or standalone jacket for the swing seasons. I bought light blue and love the color.

awesome hoody
Crazy comfortable, my new favorite. The merino back is very breathable and I don't overheat when im out running like I would in a lite puffy. Just keep in mind that it's not as warm as a lite down puffy. Differnt tool for a differnt job.
