Why We Like It

The Alpine Start Hoody has become one of our best-selling softshell jackets because it fills a gap that few layers do well. It's light enough to carry on every adventure, breathable enough to wear while moving, and protective enough to handle windy ridges, cool starts, and unexpected weather.

Instead of constantly putting a shell on and taking it off, many climbers and hikers simply leave the Alpine Start on all day. For anyone who spends time in the mountains, it's one of those pieces that quickly becomes indispensable.

Product Description

Whether you're tackling exposed ridgelines, climbing multi-pitch routes, ski touring in spring, or heading out on cool morning hikes, the Alpine Start Hoody offers the perfect balance of weather resistance, breathability, and freedom of movement. It's the layer you'll reach for when a waterproof shell feels like too much, but a fleece isn't enough.

Constructed with premium Schoeller® stretch-woven fabric, the Alpine Start delivers outstanding breathability while protecting against wind and light precipitation. The durable NanoSphere® Technology treatment repels water, dirt, and oil without compromising airflow, helping keep you comfortable through changing mountain conditions.

Designed with climbers in mind, the helmet-compatible hood fits comfortably over most climbing helmets while remaining low-profile when worn on its own. Underarm gussets allow unrestricted overhead movement for climbing and scrambling, while lightweight stretch cuffs and an adjustable drawcord hem help seal out cool winds.

When the sun comes out, the Alpine Start packs into its own chest pocket, creating an incredibly compact package that clips directly to your harness or backpack using the integrated carabiner loop. Weighing only 190 grams, it's one of the lightest and most versatile mountain layers available.
