Black Diamond Equipment Unveils Spring/Summer 2025 Product Collection

March 13, 2025

Born from the climbing life, this season’s collection is built for versatility, comfort and performance – on and off the rock.

SALT LAKE CITY (March 13, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/  – Black Diamond Equipment®, a global leader in climbing, skiing, and mountain sports apparel and equipment, introduces its Spring/Summer 2025 product collection. This season, the focus is on apparel: clothing built for every aspect of the climbing life, because being a climber doesn’t end when you’re back on the ground. Whether bouldering at the local crag, pushing limits on an alpine route, daydreaming about your project at your desk or living out of a van on a road trip, BD’s latest collection is designed to move with you.

Among the highlights of the collection are:

Climbing Bottoms Designed with Mobility in Mind
BD’s new climbing shorts and pants are engineered for movement, durability, and all-day comfort. Available in men’s and women’s silhouettes, these styles are ready for everything from gym training to multi-pitch epics:

·       Pursuit Pants and Shorts – An integral part of any summer climbing trip, these feature two-way stretch nylon fabric with a PFC-free DWR finish, making them the ultimate versatile road warriors.

·       Ethos Pants and Shorts – With a movement-focused silhouette, Ethos bottoms are built with soft organic cotton and designed for the climbing life.

·       Sequence Pants and Shorts – Featuring a stretchy, durable ripstop fabric with a PFC-Free DWR finish, Sequence bottoms are the go-to warm-weather senders, from alpine rock to the gym.[EW2]

Rainwear on the Go for Protection in Motion
Built for movement and featuring premium waterproof fabrics, BD’s technical rainwear collection is engineered to shield climbers from inclement weather in the mountains. The lineup includes three jackets along a spectrum from minimalist to robust:

·       Fineline Stretch Rain Shell – A revamped version of the award-winning Stormline Shell, utilizing BD.dry™ waterproof, windproof, breathable technology with stretch fabric for reliable and comfortable protection in variable conditions from urban to mountain environments.

·       Highline Stretch Shell – BD’s premium alpine 3-layer jacket built for extreme conditions, combining BD.dry™ with Empel waterproofing technology in a durable design that prioritizes protection from rugged environments and climates.

Hoodies for High-Output Performance
As essential as a rope and rack, BD’s cult-favorite Alpenglow Hoody delivers serious sun protection. Featuring UPF-50+ and BD.cool mineral-based, in-fiber cooling technology, it reflects 71% of near-infrared rays and reduces perceived temperature. With an under-the-helmet hood, pullover design, and Polygiene odor control, the Alpenglow Hoody is a must-have for long days on the rock.

For cooler weather or indoor training sessions, the Circuit Hoody is crafted from buttery-soft, moisture-wicking fabric that keeps you comfortable while an anti-odor treatment ensures freshness during high-output activities. Its lightweight polyester stretch jersey offers just the right amount of stretch for unrestricted movement, making the Circuit a practical layer for performance climbing days.

All-Mountain Insulation for Shutting Down the Cold
Windproof and water-resistant, BD’s Solution insulation is engineered to provide warmth and security in the mountains. Designed to shut the cold down from the inside out, this lightweight, highly compressible layer features 60g PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation Eco and PFC-Free DWR technology for weather protection. This essential piece is made to be versatile for trapping warmth under weatherproof shells in harsh conditions or on its own when the skies are clear.

Also joining BD’s insulation lineup is the Access Hoody, a versatile and lightweight midlayer made for moving comfortably through all seasons. Packed with 800-fill Allied HyperDRY™ goose down, this hoody delivers superior warmth while remaining breathable and highly compressible for on-the-go insulation. The ultralight nylon shell, treated with a PFC-free DWR finish, offers protection against light moisture without compromising warmth or weight. Crafted with bluesign-approved materials and responsibly sourced down, this jacket reflects Black Diamond’s commitment to performance-driven sustainability.

For those seeking a more streamlined option for layering or high-output pursuits, the Access 1.0 maintains the key features of the original while offering 700-fill goose down insulation and stretch-woven fleece underarm panels—enhancing mobility and packability without sacrificing essential warmth.

“Every piece in this collection is inspired by the way climbers move through the world, not just on the rock, but in everyday life,” said Julie Hirsch, Apparel Business Unit Director at Black Diamond. “From road trips to redpoints, we built these pieces with the wide-ranging climber’s life in mind.”

Black Diamond Equipment’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection will be available online and at select retailers this season.
