GAITERS BLACK DIAMOND MISSION Black

Black Diamond Mission are high-performance technical gaiters made from a three-layer GORE-TEX® membrane, designed for winter expeditions and ice climbing. They provide reliable protection from snow, ice and moisture in the most demanding mountain conditions, while maintaining breathability during intense activity.

What conditions and activities are they designed for?

They are premium technical equipment for extreme winter conditions. They are designed for experienced mountaineers and alpinists who need uncompromising protection when breaking trail through deep snow or climbing frozen waterfalls.

Key features and materials

• Three-layer GORE-TEX® membrane: The upper provides complete waterproof and windproof protection while allowing moisture to escape during exertion.
• Durable material composition: A blend of 85 % nylon and 15 % polyester offers high resistance to crampon scratches and abrasion against rocks.
• Underfoot attachment system: A durable, removable strap in the style of a ski binding keeps the gaiter securely in place without slipping.
• Front closure: A wide Velcro strap running the full length allows quick putting on and taking off, even while wearing thick winter gloves.
• Top buckle: The upper edge can be securely tightened with a buckle, preventing snow from getting in while breaking trail.

In use

On winter expedition climbs, the high-cut design and GORE-TEX® membrane effectively prevent snow from entering your boots, even when you are wading through snow up to your knees.

On demanding ice routes, the durable nylon fabric protects your lower legs and trousers from sharp crampon points, while the reliable underfoot strap prevents the gaiters from riding up.
