Black Diamond Distance 15L Backpack Black, S

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I use the Distance 15 when I need something that moves like a running vest but still carries tools for alpine missions. It hugs the body with zero bounce, has room for layering pieces and traction, and the pole storage is super intuitive. It's become my go-to for everything from long ridge traverses to speedy peak days."The Distance 15 Backpack is built for days when the line between running and scrambling disappears. Designed with the mountains in mind, this hybrid pack lets us move light and fast-whether we're chasing sunrises on the ridge or pushing for the summit before the afternoon storm rolls in. Black Diamond engineered this pack with a vest-style suspension system that keeps bounce to a minimum and essentials always within reach. Inside, the 15-liter capacity gives us just enough room for layers, nutrition, and a light alpine kit, while outside, we're loading up axes, poles, and water without breaking stride. The innovative Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology creates seamless comfort and freedom of movement, even with a full load. From the trailhead to exposed ridgelines, the Distance 15 proves that you don't have to sacrifice speed for gear.
