I ordered the First Light Hoody Dec. of 2016, getting the last year's model on sale. I have some other Black Diamond clothes and appreciated the slimmer fit on them, but this jacket was too tight in the arms and across the chest. No problem w/ design or materials. For reference, I ordered the Medium (as I do in everything), I am 5'10", and I have a 38" chest. For a very slim person, I think this might actually be great as an active puffy w/ just a warm base layer underneath, but if you're average of larger or want to layer I would look elsewhere. Also for reference, a medium Patagonia Nano-Air...

Great insulated sweater

by mdb, from CO, United States Written on October 16, 2019
Impressed with the cut and quality of this insulated sweater. The zipper can be a bit sticky but is totally manageable. I found it very useful in cold conditions doing light aerobic activity. This will definitely be in my backcountry ski pack all winter!

Great product

by Kamy, Verified Owner from BC, Canada Written on November 8, 2017
Bought this as a gift for my hubby and he loves it. It has a great athletic fit (BD is cut for long torso) and despite being pretty thin it is very warm...he was jokingly saying it has a heating rod in the back panels. He has a few other insulated jackets but they don't fit as good, he had to get a medium in those (due to the sleeve & jacket length being too short in a small) whereas a size S in BD fits him like a glove. Can't comment on the wear as he's only had it for a week, but at first glimpse the fabric that it's made of looks pretty tough.
Best Used for:
  • Hiking, Camping, Casual

Good Kit, Bad Fit

by Thomas W., Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on December 8, 2016
I find myself very frustrated with BD apparel. All their kit is top notch in quality and function. Unfortunately, they cut their garments for only the long and lean. I wish I could wear it, but alas I don't fit their mold
