Black Diamond Distance 8 Backpack - M, Dark Patina

Description

The Black Diamond Distance 8 Backpack - M, Dark Patina is a hybrid pack that blends running vest technology with Black Diamonds intimate knowledge of alpine pack systems. It will carry the gear you need, while remaining featherweight and comfortable enough to move at a fast pace. Built from Black Diamonds UHMWP 10x Ripstop Yarns, the Distances fabric is literally 10-times stronger than steel weight-for-weight, while remaining so light it floats in water.

The shoulder strap harness system utilizes Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology, meaning the shoulder strap edge binding is fully edge taped instead of sewn, allowing for superior comfort, movement, and weight reduction. 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 packs hose routing. On the packs exterior, the Distance 8 includes dual piolet/ice axe holsters, and dual Z-Pole quiver sleeves to stash your trekking poles when the terrain changes. Dual front stretch pockets are an extra place to stash nutrition or gear, making the Black Diamond Distance 8 Backpack an ultra-versatile pack for moving light and fast in the mountains.
