Technology:

• BD.Dry 3L: Waterproof. Breathability. Durability. Stretch. BD.dry 3L face fabrics are treated with a DWR and these fabrics have a hydrophilic membrane that allows water vapor to transfer through, making them waterproof, yet breathable. Applied to the backside of this fabric is a third layer, jersey backer, that feels comfortable next to the skin and allows moisture to turn to vapor before passing through the hydrophilic membrane. BD.dry 3L Waterproof rating: 20,000 mm Breathability rating:20,000 g/m2/24hr

Sustainability:

• Eco: Protecting the places we love is as important to us as building the gear to take you there. Utilizing sustainably produced raw materials is a cornerstone to our approach and foundational to this commitment. Styles carrying the ECO label status are made of one or more of Black Diamond's targeted sustainablity attributes.
• EMPEL DWR by GTT: PFC-Free, extremely durable, with unparalled performace, GTT Empel uses a patented process to permanently hyper-fuse the water protective finish direcly to the individual fibers of the fabric, offering unmatched super-hydrophobic properties, while maintaining optimal breathability.
• PFC Free DWR: Our durable water repellant (DWR) treatment doesn't use PFCs, also known as PFAS, so you can stay dry without the use of these so-called "forever chemicals".
