Technology:
- BD.dry
Breathable, water and wind resistant Black Diamond fabric provides protection against outdoor conditions.

- Thinsulate:
3M Thinsulate insulation (type EC) is a 100% polyester half-layer insulation in which 78% of the fibres of the fibres (by weight) are recycled polyester. The individual fibres absorb less than 1% water by weight. It retains most of its insulating capacity even in wet conditions. CE articles carry the bluesign approved label and meet the strict safety and environmental criteria of the bluesign system.

- bluesign
The bluesign certificate is more than just an ecolabel. Due to the global focus on industrial standards, not only has the final consumer's safety been taken into account but also other aspects including workplace health, water emissions and air emissions. As well as these important aspects, the principle to conserve resources plays a greater role within the Bluesign certificate. The independent bluesign certificate guarantees that the entire chain of production only contains components and only uses processes that are respectful to people and to the environment.

- Kevlar
Kevlar yarns are used in the high abrasion areas of the palms of Black Diamond gloves to resist melting and tearing under repeated friction and abrasion.

- Empel DWR
Environmentally friendly, extremely durable and with unmatched performance, GTT Empel Breathable Water Protection uses a patented process to permanently hyperfuse the water protection finish directly into the individual fibers of the fabric, offering unmatched superhydrophobic properties while maintaining optimum breathability. The revolution is here.
- PFC free. It does not contain palm oil.
- Outperforms all other C8s, C6s and PFCs
- Free of DWR's
- Waterless treatment process
- Durability over 100 washes
- Maintains maximum breathability
- Unsurpassed abrasion resistance
- GTT uses the Bundesmann water repellency test (ISO 9865) instead of the commonly used AATCC 22 spray test. The Bundesmann test is 500 times more severe than the spray test and better simulates real world conditions.

- Pertex Shield
The Pertex Shield materials provide lightweight waterproof protection without sacrificing breathability. Designed for intense mountain activities where weight and breathability are key, Pertex Shield allows the wearer to move quickly and comfortably. The different layered construction combines lightweight materials with waterproof, windproof and breathable membranes. A durable waterproof finish applied to the face fabric sheds rain and snow, which helps maintain breathability.
