Distance 8 Backpack (Fall 2022)
Black Diamond
Distance 8 Backpack (Fall 2022)
$104.96
Description

  Built for the fast and light mountain adventurer, the Distance 8 pack transcends barriers with its hybrid design that includes vest-inspired suspension for running, and a unique feature set that allows you to carry the appropriate gear while navigating intricate mountain terrain.

  Built from BD's UHMWP 10x Ripstop Yarns—the same burly material used in climbing dogbones and Ultralight Camalots—the Distance’s fabric is literally 10 times stronger than steel per weight, while remaining so light it floats in water.

  The shoulder strap harness system utilizes 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. Also, 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.

  This vest-like system also includes dual flask pockets that fit two HydraPak® SoftFlasks™ (sold separately) and a Deploy pocket to stash the BD Deploy Wind Shell (also sold separately).

Footprint sold separately.

Why Core Strength Is Essential When contracted, the...
Grit, Grace, and Gunpowder: The 2025 Wild Women’s Rendezvous
  If youve ever assumed the wilderness was strictly a mans world, consider yourself officially corrected. This June, Idaho’s rugged backcountry will host a crew of wilderness-savvy women wholl turn the idea of “ladies’ night” upside down, shake it hard, and toss it into the campfire.   I joined the Wild Womens Rendezvous in 2024, expecting just another outdoor retreat. Instead, I...

What’s the Best Underwear for Backpacking?
  When I bought my first pair of Merino wool underwear—a pair of Ibex briefs—from a Vermont gear shop in 2017, it was a game changer. I dubbed them my “adventure undies,” since they were the first pair I’d reach for when packing for every type of outing. On long hikes, multiweek canoe camping trips, and snowy mountain excursions, they beat...
Colorado-Released Wolf Killed by Federal Agency in Wyoming
  Just months after being released as part of Colorado’s high-profile wolf reintroduction program, one of the transplanted gray wolves was killed in Wyoming. Wildlife officials shot the animal after confirming it had attacked and killed livestock on private land.   The male wolf, which was fitted with a collar from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), was discovered near five dead sheep...

A Super-Shooter Braided Fishing Line: Berkley Forward Braid Review
  I am unashamedly nonchalant when it comes to selecting braided fishing lines. Every time I respool a reel with a braid, I switch up the brand, mostly out of curiosity. Each company claims to have the best casting, most sensitive, and best strength-to-diameter braided line.   Having tried a bunch of different options, I can honestly say that while there are...
Tyler Andrews to Attempt Everest Speed Record
  American ultrarunner Tyler Andrews has set a bold goal for 2025: ascend Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen faster than anyone in history. Andrews, 34, who has set speed records on 26,781-foot Manaslu and 22,837-foot Aconcagua, told Outside that he’s going to attempt the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for ascending Everest via the South Col route this May....
Is It Safe to Travel to Mexico? I Think: Yes. Here’s What to Know.
  I could spend a lifetime exploring Mexico and probably still not scratch the surface of all the country has to offer. It’s long been one of my favorite getaways when I need a quick surf and sun fix or a dose of culture. A few years ago, my friend Val and I plotted a road trip around Baja California Sur....
‘Brutal’ Ultrarunning Event Ends With No Finishers This Year
  One of runnings toughest events just ended — without anyone earning the right to stand on a podium. The 2025 Barkley Marathons concluded this week with no finishers of its 100+ mile course. There was just one completion of the Fun Run by U.S. athlete John Kelly.   Going back a year, the2024 Barkley Marathonssaw a record number of finishers — five in...
