First Light Stretch Hoody - Used
This piece has had a previous life — see the tier system below for what to expect.
Tiers describe the level of wear a used item has. Because the gear we carry is so dang solid, it can go through quite a bit of cosmetic abuse before it stops performing as it should. We will make sure the gear you buy from us meets your expectations and functions as designed, whether new or used. That's why we've come up with a 4-tier rating system for our used gear: Admired, Liked, Loved, and Adored.

Description
One Jacket, Every Mission
The Black Diamond Men’s First Light Stretch Hoody is built to handle everything from alpine rock routes to storm-day ski tours. Its PrimaLoft® Gold Active insulation breathes while you move, keeping you warm without overheating on high-output climbs and skintracks. A tough 20D ripstop shell and stretch liner hold up to rock, ice, and daily use, while still giving you unrestricted range of motion. With a helmet-compatible hood, streamlined hem adjustments, and the ability to pack into its own pocket and clip to your harness, this is a go-anywhere, all-season insulator.

Gear Cache
This is a Used Item
All items that were once part of our rental fleet will be numbered with black sharpie on the inside, regardless of condition. If you have further questions, feel free to check our Gear Cache page, or contact us! Also, keep in mind our return policy is different for Used gear!
Shop All Gear CacheThe Gear Cache is our "experienced" (a.k.a used) gear section. That means it's also home to the best stories and biggest discounts (from30-90% off) in our store. Most of the gear comes from our rental program and the guides over at RMI Expeditions, which means that it has usually seen only about a season's worth of use, and gives you an excuse to say your boots have been to the top of Rainier. Plus, it means you get to follow one of the 3 Rs in sustainability; reuse!
Because the gear we carry is so dang solid, it can go through quite a bit of cosmetic abuse before it stops performing like it should. We will make sure the gear you buy from us meets your expectations and functions as designed, regardless of whether it's new or used. That's why we've come up with a 4 tier rating system for our used gear; Admired, Liked, Loved and Adored.
Even though this gear has seen previous adventures, each item meets rigorous standards. We ensure every piece functions just as intended—no compromises on performance. You won’t find any 'junk' here; only gear that's ready for many more expeditions.
All used items are sold AS IS and are not eligible for returns or exchanges. If you receive an item and believe it has been mis-categorized by tier, you have one week to email us. For details on what to expect from our Gear Cache used gear program click here. If you have any additional questions, shoot us an email, and we'll be happy to help you out!
Our Rating System
Pretty Gear Isn't Always the Best Gear
Mountain gear is built to last. It can take years of cosmetic wear before performance is affected. Our 4-tier system tells you exactly what to expect from every piece. Functionality is guaranteed — regardless of tier.
Tier 2
Liked
A few adventures
Light outdoor use, only worn a few times. Recent gear within the last 5 years with very light wear.
Tier 3
Loved
A full season out
Substantial outdoor use — about a full season. Clear evidence it's been used. Undoubtedly second-hand, but fully functional.
Tier 4
Adored
Many seasons of memories
Significantly broken in with multiple seasons of wear. May have minor cosmetic issues, but nothing that affects original functionality.
Gear Cache Reviews
Why Climbers love the cache
My MH Phantom Parka -Tier 2 arrived, and aside from there being a #16 written in, you would have never guessed this was a rental jacket. You can tell Whittaker takes care of their gear and rates it more than fairly for resale.
Used coat like new - Better than expected. no signs of previous use. great deal!
Jacket is in great condition-- practically new. The down lofts nicely and you can tell the jacket was well cared for. Shipping was quick and the price better than anything you could get on eBay or gear trade.
Love their system for used gear - although this was Tier 3, you really can't tell it had gone through much use.
I ordered tier 5 boots. They were surprisingly in better shape than I expected. A repair to the inside of the integrated gaiters was needed but after that the boots were ready to go for a few more seasons of climbing. Definitely worth it! Would buy again.
