Description
The Distance 8 Backpack from Black Diamond is a versatile backpack for running, hiking, and alpine climbing, designed to carry essential gear in a light and stable manner during fast and demanding mountain adventures. It combines the stability of a running vest with the functionality of an alpine backpack.
This hybrid backpack is developed for trail runners, hikers, and climbers who move quickly and efficiently in challenging terrain. Its innovative construction with specially developed UHMWPE ripstop fabrics (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) is exceptionally durable and provides a tear strength up to ten times stronger than steel by weight, while remaining very lightweight. The shoulder straps with Stitchless Edge Taping Technology™ contribute to superior comfort, freedom of movement, and weight reduction by eliminating chafing. The vest-like fit, with stretchy mesh wings from the back panel, wraps the body for a secure and chafe-free feel that minimizes bouncing, even during intense activity. With easily accessible front pockets for soft flasks and nutrition, and integrated attachments for Z-poles and ice axes/tools, you can quickly access your gear without stopping. The water-resistant main compartment construction with quick access from the top protects your packing, while the BD Dry™ back panel effectively wicks away moisture and ventilates to keep you dry. Dual side compressions allow you to adjust the packing volume as needed, making the Distance 8 Backpack suitable for everything from long day hikes to multisport adventures and alpine climbs where speed and lightness are crucial.
