Black Diamond

First Light Hybrid Vest - Men's

The Black Diamond First Light Hybrid Vest crushes it in those stop-start, up-down activities that we pursue in cold weather, such as climbing and ski touring. The Primaloft Silver insulation regulates our microclimate in intense activities, holding in body heat when we're taking a break, belaying, or heading downhill and then releasing excess heat and moisture vapor when we're actively climbing, skinning, or hiking our way up the mountain. That's also true of the softshell fabric—which prioritizes mobility and breathability—and the merino wool lining, which excels at regulating odor, temperature, and moisture. This combination is best for high-intensity pursuits in cold weather when we don't want to get too cold or too hot.
