Black Diamond Heat Treat Hoody

AROUND TOWN STYLE

If you want to look sharp around town and stay warm in the mountains look no further. The Black Diamond Heat Treat Hoody is designed for years of abuse and it is designed by people that know how to dish it out. This jacket is one of the most capable mid layers on the market and you will be surprised how often you will make it your go-to jacket in foul weather. Wearing a bulky winter coat can be tough as you make your way in and out of the car on errands or even as you dip below ground to grab a ride on the subway. Going from warm to cold and back again can be really hard for most cold weather clothing, but not for the Heat Treat Hoody. Good breathability is essential to your comfort and keeping sweat levels down. The Heat Treat Hoody is set up for success because it is constructed with Gore Windstopper fabric on the outside, breathable Primaloft insulation in the middle, and super light Pertex Quantum fabric in the lining. Together these three parts work to manage moisture and cut down on that awful sweaty feeling. When you slide this jacket on, you will first notice how nice the Pertex fabric feels against your skin. Second you will be in love tight the stretchy low profile cuffs that don’t need any extra adjustment to fit right. The jacket has a helmet compatible and fully insulated hood that will fit over the biggest ski helmets and it won’t feel too big over your low profile climbing helmet. YKK is the gold standard in durable zippers. The Heat Treat utilizes YKK’s square toothed Vislon zippers which are an absolute dream to slide up and down. Once you get your hands on this coat, you will be living in it, and this coat has six super functional pockets to carry it all.
