Affiliate

The BD Affiliate Program is designed for content creators and partners who want to connect their audiences with a brand deeply rooted in climbing, skiing, hiking, trail running, and other mountain activities. The program reflects a long history of developing technical equipment for people who spend their time in demanding outdoor environments, while creating opportunities for selected partners to share relevant products and experiences with their communities.

Black Diamond Equipment traces its beginnings to hand-forged climbing hardware created by Yvon Chouinard. In 1957, Chouinard began selling his climbing equipment directly from his vehicle in Yosemite Valley. That early approach helped establish a tradition centered on practical innovation, performance, and a different philosophy toward climbing. Over time, the development of technical equipment continued to influence the way climbers approached the mountains, while also contributing to evolving ideas about responsible participation in outdoor sports.

Today, Black Diamond Equipment operates from Salt Lake City, Utah, near the Wasatch Mountains. Its location reflects a close connection to the activities that shape the brand, including climbing, skiing, and other mountain pursuits. The company continues to focus on creating equipment and apparel for people who spend time in challenging outdoor environments and who depend on their gear while pursuing their chosen activities.

The brand’s approach is built around direct involvement with the sports and communities it serves. Product development combines design, engineering, testing, and practical experience to create equipment intended for climbers, backcountry skiers, trail runners, hikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. Employees contribute their own experience and enthusiasm to the development process, helping maintain a close relationship between the products being created and the activities for which they are designed.

Throughout its history, Black Diamond has introduced equipment intended to change or improve familiar approaches to mountain sports. Examples include the development of an early wire-gate carabiner, the enduring Camalot camming system, JetForce airbag packs, and technical apparel created specifically for mountain environments. These products represent different areas of the company’s broader equipment portfolio and demonstrate an ongoing focus on specialized solutions for outdoor users.

The Affiliate Program provides content creators with an opportunity to participate in this ecosystem by sharing Black Diamond products and related outdoor experiences with their audiences. Partners can create content that reflects their own interests and activities while introducing relevant equipment to people who may share an interest in climbing, skiing, hiking, trail running, or other mountain pursuits.

Participating content creators receive a base commission of seven percent on qualifying affiliate activity. The program also provides opportunities for increased earnings and additional bonus potential, allowing successful partners to potentially expand their compensation as their affiliate activity develops. Specific results can depend on the individual partner’s content, audience, engagement, and qualifying activity.

Affiliate partners are supported by a dedicated in-house affiliate manager. Having a designated program contact provides creators with a direct resource for questions, program-related assistance, and general coordination. This support structure is intended to make participation more accessible and help partners navigate the affiliate relationship more efficiently.

Creative resources are also made available to participating partners. The design team provides new creative assets each month, giving affiliates additional materials that can be incorporated into their content and promotional efforts. These resources can help partners maintain fresh presentations while communicating product information to their audiences in a way that fits their individual content style.

The affiliate tracking system includes a thirty-day cookie duration. This means qualifying referral activity can remain associated with an affiliate within the applicable thirty-day tracking period. The cookie duration provides a defined window for tracking customer interactions that originate from affiliate content and supports the program’s commission structure.

Joining the program is intended to be straightforward. The application process is designed to be quick and easy, allowing prospective partners to submit their information without a complicated enrollment procedure. Applicants interested in participating can review the available program requirements and complete the appropriate application process to be considered.

There are no membership fees associated with participation in the affiliate program. This allows eligible content creators to explore the partnership without paying a recurring enrollment or membership charge simply for access to the program. The combination of commission opportunities, affiliate support, monthly creative resources, and tracking provides partners with a structured foundation for developing affiliate content.

The program is particularly suited to creators whose audiences have an interest in outdoor sports and mountain-focused activities. Content related to climbing, skiing, hiking, trail running, backcountry pursuits, and technical outdoor equipment can naturally align with the products and experiences represented by the brand. Partners can use their own voice and creative approach to introduce products to audiences in ways that are relevant to their existing content.

The underlying philosophy of the program is closely connected to the brand’s longstanding relationship with the sports it serves. Rather than treating outdoor equipment as separate from the activities themselves, the company emphasizes participation, experience, innovation, and practical product development. Affiliate partners can become part of that broader communication by sharing products with communities that value mountain activities and technical equipment.
