Black Diamond Equipment designs and engineers climbing, splitboarding, and mountain gear from its base at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah. Empire is an authorized Canadian retailer for the brand, carrying a carefully selected range of Black Diamond products available in stores across Quebec and online at thinkempire.com.
What sets Black Diamond apart is the relentless consistency of its creative process. Every project starts with the user: climbers, splitboarders, and alpinists who put gear through real conditions before it ever reaches a retail shelf. The brand calls it the Design Process, a continuous loop of learning, iterating, and evolving that never stops. That's not a tagline. It's how Black Diamond has earned its reputation, one product at a time.
Gear built for absolute trust in the field.
When you're clipping into your splitboard setup, adjusting your harness on a cold morning, or switching on a headlamp in the backcountry dark, you're trusting your equipment with your safety. Black Diamond takes that responsibility seriously. Every product goes through extensive lab and field testing before it ships, and the brand openly shares its quality-control findings with customers and the broader outdoor community. That kind of transparency reflects how seriously Black Diamond treats the partnership between a brand and the people who use what it makes.
The Black Diamond range available at Empire focuses on what mountain athletes need most: splitboarding gear, safety equipment, headlamps, and compactor poles built for backcountry use. Whether you're heading into steep terrain for the day or planning a multi-day alpine objective, Black Diamond's equipment is designed to hold up where conditions are hardest.
More than 500 passionate people behind every product.
Black Diamond employs over 500 people worldwide, all driven by a shared passion for mountain sports. That culture shows up directly in the products. This is not a brand where gear gets designed by engineers far removed from the field. It's built by people who ride, climb, and move through the same terrain as their customers. Black Diamond sums it up with its own process mantra: Use. Design. Engineer. Build. Repeat.
At Empire, we carry Black Diamond because it aligns with how we think about gear: built for real use, engineered with purpose, and backed by people who actually know the sport. Shop Black Diamond online at thinkempire.com or visit one of our Quebec locations to find the right setup for your next mountain objective.
