Black Diamond’s Performance Rainwear
Black Diamond is an outdoor adventure company that has proven themselves to be high quality and innovative, over and over again. Like most of the best outdoor apparel and gear companies, Black Diamond was started in a backyard with nothing more than a vision and a tool kit. Today they are a global company with offices on three continents. Black Diamond is all about climbing and skiing, but their gear is not just for climbers and skiers. They dream of innovation and apply this dream to products that will showcase their values and technical skills. Since the 50’s Black Diamond has been working on creating gear that doesn’t just meet the standards in each area, but exceeds them, lifting the bar for all to reach.

Black Diamond is a company that has shown they will not stop pushing the envelope of innovation and creativity. Because of this, their gear is some of the best on the market. Like the best in the industry, Black Diamond fulfills its obligation to protect the environment it is designed to enjoy. Their sustainability mission is rooted in the combination of conservation, preservation, and access to mountain, crag and canyon environments all while minimizing their environmental footprint. At their headquarters in Utah they utilize a solar photovoltaic system that produces efficient and green energy to power their production. They are also a founding member of the Outdoor Industry Association’s Climate Action Corps which advocates for sustainable recreation practice, trade policy, ethical business innovation and increasing outdoor participation for all (LINK).
Environmental responsibility goes hand-in-hand with social responsibility for Black Diamond. They aim to tackle the need for greater education of best practices in social compliance in the outdoor industry, through their work at the Outdoor Industry Association’s Fair Labor Working Group.

This is the perfect layer from spits of rain in the mountains to downpours in the city. The Stormline Rainshell is designed to handle anything thrown at it. It is not too heavy that it would be uncomfortable to wear during a light rain in the mountains, but is heavy enough to keep you dry in a complete downpour. It comes in 9 colors, making it easy to match to your style, both on the trail and in the city.
Key Features:

Coming in both men and women’s sizes, the Fineline shell is a great layer to bring along with you no matter what outdoor activity you are participating in.

This rainshell is designed to perfectly protect you during these storms, while staying lightweight and comfortable enough to allow you to continue your outdoor activities!
Key Features:
