The Vapor helmet

US-based outdoor gear brand Black Diamond has unveiled some of its new products ahead of their appearance at the OutDoor exhibition in Germany.

The Salt Lake City firm said its Vapor Helmet provides the lightest, most comfortable and most well ventilated climbing helmet ever made while still offering specialised high performance protection.

The ReVolt headtorch is described as a no-compromise light with ‘hybrid power’. It can use either traditional alkaline batteries or can be recharged using a USB connector.

A new pole will also join the company’s line-up at the Friedrichshafen show in July. A spokesperson said: “The Ultra Mountain pole illustrates Black Diamond’s commitment to perfection in product development to remain the number one pole brand that is used and trusted by those who never use anything but the best.”

Also due to be introduced for the spring and summer season next year is the Camalot X4 which will be the new addition to what Black Diamond describes as ‘the gold standard Camalot family’.

“The X4 is a super-durable, four-lobed cam that fuses an unmatched expansion range with a go-anywhere, ultra narrow head width and a flexible cable stem,” Black Diamond added.

“We are looking forward to showing the latest offerings to the trade at OutDoor this year.”

The trade-only OutDoor show runs from 12 to 15 July.
