Black Diamond Equipment
Black Diamond Equipment was founded in 1957 by Yvon Chouinard, a prominent climber and environmentalist. Since then, the company's product line has grown to include skis, poles, packs, tents, headlamps, and, of course, running shorts.
Black Diamond Equipment's shorts boast fabrics that are lightweight, stretchy, and quick-drying, with sweat-wicking properties and abrasion resistance. Designed with runners' comfort in mind, these shorts are tailor-made to provide optimal mobility and breathability.
Among the top picks from Black Diamond Equipment are:
- Distance 4" Short: hat comes equipped with a built-in brief liner, a split-leg design to maximize the range of motion, and a zippered back pocket for essentials. Reflective logos provide visibility, and it's priced at $65.
- Alpine Start Short: It has a durable water-repellent (DWR) surface that repels mild rain and dirt, two hand pockets, a back pocket, and an adjustable waistband for a snug, tailored fit. It costs $79 USD.
- Stormline Stretch Rain Shell Short: A waterproof that can take on the toughest weather conditions. Constructed with a BD.dry™ membrane that keeps you dry and comfortable, it's made with four-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement. It's priced at $99.
Black Diamond Equipment is a leading brand in the running shorts market, offering high-quality products that blend performance, durability, and style.
