Black Diamond Access LT Hoody - REVIEW

    Black Diamond Access LT HoodyNew for 2014 is the the Black Diamond Access LT Hoody which is a chameleon of jackets as it has a myriad of uses. Designed as a light duty belay jacket for spring or fall days at the crag, the Access LT has become a staple outer-layer for my ski touring adventures as well as a warm mid-layer for those days where I just feel like burning laps up at the ski hill.

    With a thin layer of Primaloft ONE insulation the Access LT Hoody is not a super warm jacket but rather one that’s more effective in the shoulder season when participating in high aerobic activities or as a supplemental mid-layer during winter.
