Introducing the Black Diamond Distance 15L Backpack:
Experience the ultimate companion for fast and light mountain missions with the Black Diamond Distance 15 Backpack. This innovative hybrid pack combines the functionality of an alpine-worthy daypack with the comfort and mobility of shoulder straps inspired by running vests.
Engineered with Black Diamond's stitch-less Edge Taping Technology, the shoulder harness eliminates chafing, allowing you to focus on your adventure. The ventilating back panel keeps your back cool and ensures a close-to-body fit, perfect for scrambling and running technical ridgelines.
Convenient external gear attachments and easily accessible stretch pockets provide easy access to your ice tools, trekking poles, devices, and snacks. Crafted from Dynex, a material that is ten times stronger than steel per weight, this backpack is supremely durable without adding unnecessary weight.
Designed for alpine adventures that combine trail running, hiking, scrambling, and climbing, the Black Diamond Distance 15L Backpack offers ample storage to carry everything you need for a challenging day trip or to keep you prepared between aid stations.
