BD GUIDE TO CLIMBING PANTS
Embracing the BD mentality of apparel as equipment—purpose-built for climbing while engineered to support any outdoor pursuit—each pair of pants in the Black Diamond line-up is designed to support the send and with four key considerations: comfort, freedom of movement, activity kits, and durability.
1. COMFORT
We understand that a comfortable pair of pants is easy to reach for, and we maximize comfort in each style by refining fit through multiple cycles of fit testing during each round of prototyping.
2. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
Each pair of Black Diamond climbing pants is designed to move with you. The body moves in three dimensions, and we utilize patterning, dynamic fabrics, darting, and gusseted inseams to deliver a maximum range of motion for big moves on and off the wall.
3. Activity Kits
Every product we build is focused on the sports we serve, and our apparel is no different—we are hyper-focused on making sure our pants integrate seamlessly into the climbing life. We add harness-compatible pockets, tailor cuff-sizing for technical footwork, and decide when to add reinforced or hybridized fabric and stitching.
4. Durability
Our climbing pants last through the use and abuse that come with climbing, and before choosing a material, we run options through a variety of tests to ensure they meet our exceptionally high durability standard. Beyond fabric selection, our durability standard comes to life in numerous design elements, from fabric reinforcement, hybridization, zipper placement, and stitching details.
