Black Diamond

American climbing gear manufacturer, Black Diamond arose out of a decision to split legendary Yosemite based Chouinard Equipment into hardware and clothing arms. The clothing is now Patagonia and the hardware Black Diamond, both completely separate companies. Black Diamond boast some excellent products in their range: Camalots spring readily to mind, but there are many others.

Black Diamond uses a rather bewildering number of size ranges. Men's garments may be sized as S,M,L etc, or by waist size in inches. Women's garments may be XS,S, M etc or US number sizes, 4, 6, 8 etc, which are two sizes smaller than the equivalent UK ones. This is all rather confusing - we have tried our best to make sense of it!
