Black Diamond Distance

The Distance 22 is designed for fast-paced, high-output activities like trail running, peak bagging, or speed hiking, not traditional multi-day backpacking. With a 22-liter capacity and a frameless design, it works best for lighter loads where speed is the priority over heavy-duty gear hauling.

The vest-style harness is designed to hug your torso, which eliminates the bounce you get with standard packs when running or scrambling. It distributes weight across your chest and shoulders, creating a secure, form-fitting feel that stays stable during high-intensity movement.

Yes, the pack features integrated attachment points specifically designed for trekking poles and ice axes. These are easily accessible, allowing you to deploy or stow your technical gear without needing to take the pack off.

No, the Distance 22 does not feature a traditional hip belt. It relies on its vest-style harness and sternum straps to maintain stability, which is effective for the lighter, streamlined loads it is intended to carry.

The pack is constructed from weather-resistant UHMWPE ripstop fabric, which is exceptionally durable and capable of shedding light rain and snow. However, it is not fully waterproof or seam-sealed, so you should use a dry bag or pack liner if you are carrying sensitive electronics or gear in heavy downpours.

The shoulder straps are equipped with dedicated, accessible pockets designed to hold hydration flasks and snacks. This layout allows you to refuel and hydrate on the go without stopping or removing the pack.
