Black Diamond Alpine Star naisten softshell-takki - musta

On a crisp alpine morning, a climber pulls the Black Diamond Alpine Star over her baselayer, the stretch-woven fabric moving with her as she reaches for the next hold. This women's softshell hoody is built for vertical pursuits where wind resistance and breathability are non-negotiable. The Schoeller® fabric—93% nylon and 7% elastane—delivers four-way stretch and a PFC-free DWR finish that sheds light precipitation without compromising mobility. The helmet-compatible hood adjusts for a secure fit, while the YKK Vislon front zipper glides smoothly even with gloves on. When the route heats up, the jacket packs down into its own chest pocket, clipping easily to a harness. From cragging to alpine traverses, the Alpine Star is a lightweight, packable layer that earns its place in any climber's kit.
