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.

Rugged Watch With Detroit Soul: Shinola Duck Watch Review
  It was 2:30 a.m., still a couple of hours until my alarm would wake me from my slumber to chase turkeys in the Colorado spring hunt.

Midnight Mariner Review: Luminox’s ‘Most Luminous’ Watch Is Clean, Classy Wrist Candy
  A 1,000-horsepower turbocharged V6 screamed past and faded away as quickly as it had approached. The unseen Formula 1 machine was turning hot laps ahead of qualifying inside the Miami International Autodrome. Meanwhile, I navigated a security checkpoint and began the upstream swim through a river of Ferrari red, McLaren papaya orange, and dark blue Red Bull outfits.   I, a...
This Indiana Jones Satchel Is the Perfect Commuter Bag: Woods Monkey Transit Bag Review
  Sitting in the dark theater with the now-famous theme music filling the air, the first time I saw Indy’s satchel, I knew I had to have one.

BougeRV Rover2000 Review: Power Station Shines With Semi-Solid-State Tech, Serious Solar Input

Crisp and Clear for $100: Celestron Outland X 10×42 Binoculars Review
  As a kid, my parents encouraged me to use my imagination and explore the countryside. Everything around me was farmland, filled with barns attached to rolling hills that popped out of fields that stopped at the horizon.
