The Black Diamond Distance 8L backpack allows you to go your own way. This hybrid construction combines BD running waistcoat technology with knowledge of alpine backpack carrying systems. This makes the Distance 8 versatile and offers everything a lightweight backpack needs for mountain and trail running.

Built from UHMWP 10x Ripstop Yarns - the same burly material used in Black Diamond climbing dogbones and Ultralight Camalots - the Distance’s fabric is literally 10-times stronger than steel per weight, while remaining so light it floats in water. The shoulder strap harness system utilizes the Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology - meaning the shoulder strap edge binding is fully edge taped instead of sewn, more like today’s innovative sportswear then a traditional running backpack - which allows for superior comfort, movement, and weight reduction.

Also, the harness system is constructed with an adjustable, elastic-cording side compression system, which gives you a more secure ride while running scrambling and climbing. This vest-like system also includes dual flask pockets that fit two BD HydraPak SoftFlask (sold separately) and a Deploy pocket to stash the BD Deploy Wind Shell. The pack portion of this Distance includes a quick Blitz-style main opening with a stash pocket to tuck away essentials, while a mesh divider wall can store cordelette or a water bladder that can integrate with the pack’s hose routing.

Whether it's running trails, rocky terrain or alpine adventures, the Black Diamond Distance 8L backpack allows you to go your own way.
