Black Diamond Equipment Ltd. — a Salt Lake City-based manufacturer of active outdoor performance products — has introduced a collection of alpine apparel featuring Switzerland-based Schoeller Textil AG's stretch-woven textiles and NanoSphere? and c_change? technologies.
The Dawn Patrol? apparel collection comprises three jackets and four pants that are made with Schoeller's stretch-woven textiles — which, according to the company, offer durability, abrasion resistance, shape retention, light weight and breathability. All items in the collection are finished with Schoeller's NanoSphere, a nanotechnology-based textile finish that provides water, dirt and oil repellency. In addition, the Dawn Patrol Hybrid Shell features Schoeller's c_change, a wind- and waterproof membrane that offers heat retention or breathability based on changing body temperature and moisture level.
Black Diamond also has introduced the Post-Op hoody, an after-climbing jacket made with schoeller?-naturetec — a stretch-woven blend of nylon and Merino wool.
