INTRODUCING WOMEN’S APPAREL Fall 2014 marks our first collection of technical outerwear designed specifically for women. Combining a meticulous design and fit process with the most advanced textiles available, our women’s line encompasses and embodies the range of protection climbers and

skiers require in technical terrain.

We’ve applied all the same design and engineering principles found in our men’s collection, carefully thought through materials and features, and finished each piece with beautiful colors and a great fit.

SITUATIONS OF CONSEQUENCE Use. Design. Engineer. Build. Repeat. This mantra drives everything we do here at Black Diamond. While much of this time-tested process takes place at the desk, in the lab and on the manufacturing floor, it begins and ends with our time in the mountains, where innovation is born from experience. We build gear and clothing like our life depends on it, because in many instances, it does.

As climbers and skiers, we know that there are many risks inherent to our passions. Every time we click into our bindings, strap on our crampons or cinch down our harnesses, we

place our faith in the tools of our trade. And although the sheer joy of skiing an over-theshoulders run or standing on a jagged summit is a large part of what compels us, fear and consequence are ever-present companions as well—either enriching the experience beyond words or, in a heartbeat, becoming our worst enemies.

We go to the mountains for many different reasons, but the important thing is that we go. That we willingly insert ourselves into situations of consequence, to learn from them—about our surroundings, our partners and ourselves.

There’s no substitute for a fit body and a sound mind, but when it really matters, it’s the tools we choose that can give us the protection and performance we need in unpredictable and unforgiving mountain terrain.

KEY DESIGN FEATURES HOODY AND JACKET FEATURES

Photographer: Sandra Salvas

APPAREL DESIGN PRINCIPLES We are both toolmakers and users of tools.

The equipment we create is fundamentally defined by this fact. As it has for decades, our design ethos demands that a Black Diamond product work with efficiency and purposefulness.

We approach the Black Diamond apparel line with the same ethos and process: define the intended use, identify materials that suit the task, design with functionality first, then use, refine, and reduce until the cleanest, strongest, most effective solution remains.

Our apparel is built around three primary considerations: fit, form and function.

Designed with an athletic fit, engineered with clean lines and built to perform in a wide range of environments, they are flattering silhouettes that deliver performance and protection in alpine environments.

Zipper Pull

Our fit is best described as lean and athletic. Streamlined and efficient, each product is patterned and fitted for movement in the vertical environment.

We work with metal every day. These custom zipper pulls take cues from the industrial design of our own hardgoods.

Made of anodized aluminum.

Hood

Chest Pocket

Form-fitting, fully articulated hoods are built around the need to work well with or without a helmet.

We make a chest pocket standard on nearly all of our jackets. They’re easy to access and out of the way of pack straps and harnesses.

Shell Cuff

Internal Media Pocket and Port

An evolution in form, our cuff tabs feature a unique three-part construction that optimizes texture, suppleness and holding power.

Despite our best efforts to unplug, technology doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Rather than fight it, we decided to give it a good place to live.

Insulation Cuff

Internal Drop Pocket

Patterned with stretch, our fleece and synthetic-insulation cuffs are optimized for low bulk and effective layering.

A quick-access place to temporarily stash items of nearly any size, the drop pocket is there when you need it and disappears when you don’t.

Square-Toothed YKK® Flat Vislon® Zipper Our fall 2014 women’s collection is not simply an extension of our existing apparel line—it’s a natural complement to our entire equipment offering, built with a recognition that equipment exists along a continuum, an unbroken lineage of tools defined by the technologies and techniques of the day and the conditions and situations in which they will be used.

WOMEN’S FIT In preparing our first collection of technical women’s outerwear, we combined a meticulous design and fit process with the most advanced textiles available. To build a line specifically suited to the demands of women alpine athletes, we began with a

Fit

slim and athletic sizing model and tailored each piece to end uses that value a close but comfortable fit. Clean lines, both functional and flattering in their simplicity, define the resulting forms—pieces that move with you through alpine environments.

Weather-resistant and treated with DWR, this new zipper combines a smooth action with reliability in the field and a distinctive point of view.

PANTS FEATURES Fit

Gusset

Our pants and shorts are designed for the maximum freedom of movement that climbing demands.

We’ve built a climbing gusset into all of our pants and shorts to provide ample room for high steps and heel hooks.

Cuff

Belt

Pants have a rollable cuff—ideal for quickly and cleanly adjusting the pant length, depending on the climbing or the weather.

Engineered for low bulk under a harness, our innovative ladder-lock waistbelt is designed specifically for climbing.

FULLY INTEGRATED Whether it’s embedding magnets in a carabiner to engineer a sleeker locking mechanism or hydroforming aluminum to build a stronger ice axe, integrating new technology into our equipment is a hallmark of what we do at Black Diamond. Our approach to apparel is no different: apparel

is gear, as integral to your mountain kit as any Magnetron biner or Fusion ice tool. With this as a guiding principle, we built our entire line of GORE-TEX® hardshell jackets with Cohaesive™, an innovative cord management technology embedded within the jacket.

Photographer: Sandra Salvas

COHAESIVE

™

The best design solutions work when you need them, and disappear when you don’t.

Working with Cohaesive™ allows us to embed the tools you need to tune your shell to shifting weather and layering choices.

Concealed within the jacket, cord hardware at the hood, hem and collar provides quick and intuitive adjustments, even in the worst conditions. And because the Cohaesive™ hardware is bonded directly to the fabric, the result is almost invisible: a seamless integration of technology and apparel.

GORE-TEX HARDSHELL COLLECTION ®

Our shells are built using a meticulous design and fit process that embodies our commitment to treating apparel as an integral part of your alpine toolkit. So to design the next generation of hardshell, Black Diamond sought out the best fabrics, finishes and components available. For fabric, that meant GORE-TEX®, the ultimate building block for technical outerwear.

Known for being incredibly waterproof and highly breathable, it stands up to the abrasion and abuse dished out by the world’s harshest environments.

In designing this collection, we chose GORE-TEX®’s most advanced fabrics: GORE-TEX® Pro and GORE-TEX® Active.

Engineered for extended use in extreme conditions, GORE-TEX® Pro is the foundation of our most protective shells. GORE-TEX® Active is ideal for high-output, fast-paced pursuits where weight, packability and breathability are paramount. We combined both with embedded Cohaesive™ hardware to create a line of technically advanced hardshells tuned for aerobic single-day pushes and rugged alpine expeditions.

WINDSTOPPER TAPED-SEAM SOFTSHELL COLLECTION 速

Hardshell or softshell? Traditional shells make you choose between maximum protection and maximum breathability. But by bringing taped-seam construction to WINDSTOPPER速, Black Diamond has developed an alternative to these two extremes: a collection of versatile laminate-based shells that blurs the line

between hardshell and softshell. With this construction, Black Diamond is bringing new levels of versatility, performance and weather resistance to softshell outerwear. The result is a collection engineered for use in a wide variety of activities and conditions.
