Fast moving? The all-new Distance 15 pack by Black Diamond is there to keep-up. The Distance 15 will have your back, quite literally (sorry…)
By combining running-vest technology with their award-winning pack design, the Black Diamond Distance 15 moves with you while you run yet carries alpine gear with purpose-built features, so you have the gear you need when the trail ends, and the climbing begins. Built from Black Diamond’s UHMWP 10x Ripstop Yarns—the same burly material they use in their climbing dogbones and Ultralight Camalots - the Distance fabric is literally 10-times stronger than steel per weight, while remaining so light it floats in water. The shoulder strap harness system utilizes their Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology, meaning the shoulder strap edge binding is fully edge taped instead of sewn, which allows 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.
Other features include dual flask pockets that fit two Black Diamond HydraPak® SoftFlask™ (sold separately) and a Deploy pocket to stash an additional layer. The pack portion of the 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.
On the pack’s exterior, the Black Diamond Distance 15 includes dual piolet/ice axe holsters, and dual Z-Pole quiver sleeves to stash your trekking poles when the terrain changes to be more hand-on. Dual front stretch pockets are an extra place to stash nutrition or gear, making the Black Diamond Distance 15 an ultra-versatile pack for moving light and fast in the mountains
