Black Diamond Solution 3.0 Hoody - Women

You've reached the belay, your hands are cooling down and there's still a long way to go. We like the Solution 3.0 because it gives you a welcome dose of warmth when the climbing stops, without taking up half your pack on the approach. A practical layer for the parts of the day when you're not moving.

Consider Another Option If

You need substantial insulation for prolonged stationary periods in extreme cold or a highly breathable jacket for continuous uphill movement.

• Alpine climbing and technical approaches
• Cold belays and climbing breaks
• Mountaineering and glacier travel
• Carrying packable synthetic insulation

• PrimaLoft Gold Cross Core insulation: Provides compressible warmth with a strong warmth-to-weight balance.
• LCP-reinforced fabric: Adds durability in high-wear areas.
• Two-way front zipper: Allows easier access to climbing equipment.
• Helmet-compatible hood: Fits over a climbing helmet when temperatures drop.
• Harness-compatible hand pockets: Keep essentials accessible at the belay.

Is the Solution 3.0 waterproof?

No. It offers wind resistance and some protection from light moisture, but is not a waterproof hardshell.

Can I use the Solution 3.0 as an active midlayer?

It can be layered for cold conditions, but its insulation and belay-focused design make it more suitable for lower-output periods than sustained hard uphill effort.
