See you out there,

Your fellow climbers, skiers, and adventurers at Black Diamond Equipment

Depending on how these additional tariffs unfold in the coming weeks, further adjustments may unfortunately be necessary. As always, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

These are the actions we’re taking today. Additional country-specific “reciprocal tariffs” have been paused for now, subject to further trade negotiations.

We’ll continue to communicate openly, act responsibly, and stay true to what matters most: designing world-class gear that earns your trust every time you head into the mountains.

We’re navigating an unprecedented and uncertain global economic environment, and like many of you, we’re doing our best to adapt. Our goal is to be transparent, and we’re sharing this now to allow for some period of transition at current price levels.

- things we aren’t willing to compromise to chase cheaper suppliers.

This isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly. We build technical, protective, and often life-saving equipment. Our global supply chain is built on long-standing, trusted partnerships, operating 41 factories in 17 countries in a tightly managed network built around safety, reliability, and performance

...We’ve absorbed as much of this impact as we can, but to continue delivering the high-performance equipment you count on, a price adjustment has become necessary.

These tariffs have dramatically increased the cost of producing our gear - by more than double in some cases. Every outdoor brand operating on a global supply chain is experiencing similar issues...

Beginning May 5th, prices on most of our products will increase 10–25% due to the recent wave of global tariffs introduced by the Trump Administration. These tariffs include a base tariff of 10% on all imports, 25% on steel and aluminum products, and steep surcharges on products from China.

Since day one, Black Diamond has been built on a foundation of honesty, transparency, and dedication to our community. Today, we want to share an important update regarding upcoming tariff-related price increases—and reaffirm our commitment to deliver uncompromising quality.

To Our Black Diamond Community,

Yep

That is not uncommon in the cat world. Glad she found her way home

At least you guys aren't firing the prak rangers who maintain your national parks.
