Technology:

• BD.Dry 3L: Waterproof. Breathability. Durability. Stretch. BD.dry 3L face fabrics are treated with a DWR and these fabrics have a hydrophilic membrane that allows water vapor to transfer through, making them waterproof, yet breathable. Applied to the backside of this fabric is a third layer, jersey backer, that feels comfortable next to the skin and allows moisture to turn to vapor before passing through the hydrophilic membrane. BD.dry 3L Waterproof rating: 20,000 mm Breathability rating:20,000 g/m2/24hr

Sustainability:

• Eco: Protecting the places we love is as important to us as building the gear to take you there. Utilizing sustainably produced raw materials is a cornerstone to our approach and foundational to this commitment. Styles carrying the ECO label status are made of one or more of Black Diamond's targeted sustainablity attributes.
• EMPEL DWR by GTT: PFC-Free, extremely durable, with unparalled performace, GTT Empel uses a patented process to permanently hyper-fuse the water protective finish direcly to the individual fibers of the fabric, offering unmatched super-hydrophobic properties, while maintaining optimal breathability.
• PFC Free DWR: Our durable water repellant (DWR) treatment doesn't use PFCs, also known as PFAS, so you can stay dry without the use of these so-called "forever chemicals".

Here at Black Diamond it's all about climbing and skiing. We share the same experiences that you do on rock, ice and snow and these experiences push us to make the best gear possible for our worldwide family of climbers and skiers.

What began with a backyard anvil and a hammer has now grown into a global company with offices on three continents. Black Diamond is a company that's not just for rock climbers and skiers, but one that stands for the spirit of the sports we live, their values and goals, past, present and future. Since 1957, our innovative gear designs have set the standard in numerous areas. This is partly the result of dedication, desire and diligence on the part of an incredible team of people. It's also a product of the fact that each of us are climbers and skiers ourselves.

We're a company of users. It's who we are. We're the greatest dreamers about what could be, and the harshest of critics about what exists. Because of this, the creation of Black Diamond is a process that will never end. The company today is more committed than ever, thanks to the many people here in the U.S., at Black Diamond Europe and at Black Diamond Asia whose limitless energy and hands-on involvement have created a promising future for all climbers and skiers worldwide.
