Black Diamond trace their roots back 55 years, when their founders sought to fill a need for gear that could stand up to the rigours of vertical life and improve the speed and efficiency of ascending new routes. That steadfast commitment to building clean, functional equipment still defines their identity. Black Diamond use, design, engineer and build their gear in a constant evolutionary cycle of solutions, refinements and explorations into what’s possible.
If you have ever placed a cam, clipped a draw or dropped into a couloir, you know Black Diamond and they know you. The clothing range is intuitively designed, rigorously engineered and beautifully built to inspire trust in situations of tremendous consequence encountered in the vertical realm.
Introducing: Session
Black Diamond’s Session transitions seamlessly from the climbing gym to crag. Clever design sees the stretch-fit heel flatten down so you can slip it on between attempts; once on the knit uppers regulate temperature, and the integrated bootie construction wraps around your foot for comfort. Cushioned and stable underfoot, the BlackLabel-Street sticky rubber sole gives grip for the approach and post-climb pub trip alike.
Like many outdoor brands, Black Diamond actively advocate for environmental causes, locally, regionally and globally. Not only do they strive to ensure their manufacturing processes are efficient with minimal environmental impact, they like to make kit that lasts.
