BLACK DIAMND GEAR ON SALE

Black Diamond Momentum Climbing Shoe – Women’s, 45% off — $44.95 $94.95

Black Diamond Momentum Climbing Shoe – Men’s, 45% off — $52.22 $94.95

“Black Diamond’s Momentum Climbing Shoe balances comfort with performance so you can learn how to climb comfortably. Most climbing shoes opt for leather or synthetic leather uppers to keep durable throughout your rocky adventures. Black Diamond, on the other hand, made this shoe’s upper out of a unique knit that enhances breathability without hindering overall durability. This enhanced breathability also decreases the foul smells that standard leather climbing shoes excrete in your car, closet, or wherever you store your climbing shoes. Since this isn’t a leather or synthetic leather climbing shoe, the Momentum shouldn’t stretch as much as usual climbing shoes, and if this is your first pair of climbing shoes, you might want to consider getting this pair in your street shoe size even though your friends are telling you to size down. The NeoFriction rubber sole is also unique in that it’s molded—as opposed to the usual cutting from one sheet of rubber—to the shoe in order to increase longevity and ensure traction on greasy, plastic footholds.” — Backcountry

Black Diamond First Light Hybrid Hooded Jacket – Men’s, 50% off — $114.48 $228.95

“Wear it alone during an early season multi-pitch, or as a midlayer during a backcountry tour, either way the Men’s Black Diamond First Light Hybrid Hooded Jacket blends stretch performance with breathable warmth. Taking its First Light Jacket for a hybrid spin, Black Diamond uses the same Primaloft Silver to keep you warm from windswept ridge to snowy skin track, then adds merino wool blended panels for breathable stretch that lets you work hard without working up a sweat. The low-profile hood can be tucked beneath a helmet if the wind picks up, while a durable water repellent finish sheds light flurries if the weather takes an unexpected turn. And should the change in conditions favor the warm sun, the First Light Hybrid stuffs down into its own chest pocket, where it can be carabinered to your harness or pack till next it’s needed.” — BC

La Sportiva Kataki Climbing Shoe – Men’s, 50% off — $87.50 $175.00

“The Katana is undoubtedly one of La Sportiva’s many classic shoes due to its combination of all-day comfort and technical prowess, and the Otaki’s aggressive attitude tackles some of the toughest climbs out there.
