Innovation for the Best Sport Experience

Standing still is a no-go at Black Diamond. For this reason, the company is constantly working to optimize products and maximize the durability and robustness of its items.

The brand's innovations include, for example, the waterproof and breathable BD.dry™ fabric for weather-resistant outdoor collections and rechargeable lamps that are ready to use again in no time with a small power bank.

Protecting Nature

Black Diamond has made it its mission to stand up for the preservation and protection of mountains and to minimize its ecological footprint as much as possible.

Black Diamond supports projects and initiatives to protect the environment.

Its proprietary BD7075 aluminum alloy, used for all carabiners, contains 25% recycled aluminum, saving around 88 tons of virgin aluminum every year. Selected trekking poles also contain recycled aluminum. Products can also be repaired through the warranty and repair service instead of being replaced prematurely.

Black Diamond is also a founding member of the Climate Action Corps of the Outdoor Industry Association, where over 100 outdoor brands commit to reducing emissions and increasing supply chain transparency. Select clothing pieces from the brand also use bluesign-certified materials.

Black Diamond equips not only recreational mountaineers but also top athletes. That's why the manufacturer's products are regularly seen at major sporting events. The company is also a sponsor of individual events, such as the Freeride World Tour. In this way, Black Diamond supports athletes at every level with high-performance equipment and functional clothing that helps them improve their performance.
