I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Distance 15L Backpack

Description

Introducing the Distance 15L Backpack:

Discover the versatility and functionality of the Black Diamond Distance 15 Backpack. This innovative hybrid pack combines the features of an alpine-worthy daypack with the convenience of shoulder straps inspired by running vests. With its thoughtfully designed pockets, you can easily carry HydraPak's 500ml SoftFlasks, nutrition supplies, and even Black Diamond's lightest wind shell, the Deploy Wind Shell Jacket.

Experience unmatched comfort with the stitch-less Edge Taping Technology employed in the shoulder straps. These straps not only minimize chafing but also enhance ventilation for a cooler and more enjoyable outdoor adventure. The BD Dry back panel further promotes airflow, moisture-wicking, and quick drying, making it an ideal choice for high-intensity activities in mountainous terrains.

To ensure long-lasting durability without compromising on weight, Black Diamond crafted the main compartment from Dynex, the same material used for their Ultralight Camalots. This lightweight yet robust construction offers superior protection for your gear and remains highly water-resistant throughout the year.

Key Features:

  • Designed for running, trekking, and alpine climbing
  • Shoulder straps inspired by running vests, complete with soft flask and nutrition pockets
  • BD Dry back panel for moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and ventilation
