Different outdoor gear brands often have their own focuses, such as Arc'teryx specializing in outdoor clothing, Rathpertiva specializing in climbing footwear, and Edred and Mammoth excelling in the field of safety ropes. The black diamond has achieved almost all-round dominance, thanks to the multi-faceted layout of the black diamond in business, the well-known tent brand Bibler Tents, the ski brand Fritschi Diamir, and the rope company Beal Ropes are all under the umbrella of the black diamond.
Black Diamond is the most popular brand on Outdoor Gearlab's list of the best climbing gear in the U.S., and it stands out for protection and ease of use.
Rock climbing harnesses provide a comfortable and safe fixing method for climbers and ensurers, mainly playing the role of dispersing impact force, mainly divided into sport climbing lightweight harnesses and traditional climbing harnesses, sport climbing emphasizes lightweight, while traditional climbing emphasizes comfort. In the list of the best climbing harnesses selected by Outdoor Gearlab, Black Diamond has a total of 3 items on the list, all of which are highly recommended, and the reason for the recommendation is two words: comfort. The Black Diamond Harness's Fusion Comfort technology features three separate flat straps on the inside of the harness to reduce pressure on the leg contact points while distributing most of the body's weight, providing maximum freedom of movement and comfort. Solution is one of the representative works, the price is around 600 yuan, the size is complete and divided into men and women, is the first choice for long-distance and high-intensity sports climbing enthusiasts. Another Momentum, with its excellent leg adjustment system, is more comfortable, suitable for use in a variety of scenarios such as traditional climbing, multi-pitch climbing and equipment climbing, and at the same time, it is extremely lightweight, and the price of 500 yuan also has a certain cost performance.
The comfort of the black diamond helmet is at the top level, the weight of the Vapor medium size is less than 200g, it is one of the lightest helmets on the market, and the protective layer composed of EPS foam cushion and polycarbonate can also ensure excellent protection while reducing weight, and it will hardly affect the vision, and the price is about 1000 yuan. For those who value the price, consider Half Dome, which is less than half the price of the Vapor, and the Outdoor Gearlab gives a perfect score of 10 for durability at the expense of comfort and ventilation, compared to the Vapor's better balanced performance. Many people choose not to wear a helmet for comfort and climbing visibility, which actually leaves a huge safety hazard, and we recommend that outdoor traditional climbers, large rock walls and ice climbing enthusiasts always wear a safety helmet when climbing.
When you put on the black diamond harness and helmet, the final sense of security, of course, comes from the moment you tie the main rope, according to the function and thickness, the main rope is divided into single rope, half rope and double rope, of which single rope is the most widely used. The main rope of the black diamond is known for its simplicity and neatness, and is named directly after the diameter of the climbing rope, which is actually the most in line with the habit of rock climbers to discuss ropes. If you are a novice or child climbing indoors or top rope climbing, you can choose the 9.9mm model, which has a low static elongation rate and strong safety, and the other 9.4mm Dry has a dry treatment in the core and skin, which is suitable for outdoor bad weather or ice climbing.
In addition to the above categories, black diamonds are also remarkable in climbing shoes, locks, and assurances, which deserve the attention of senior rock climbing enthusiasts. There are many regular agents and dealers of black diamonds in China, and they can easily buy black diamond climbing supplies both online and offline, so they are particularly favored by domestic rock climbing enthusiasts.
