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.

Video: Is Mount Everest Base Camp Too Cushy?
　　In his latest video dispatch, Ben Ayers explains what day-to-day life is like at Mount Everest Base Camp during the spring climbing season. There are a plethora of stories out there about the extravagant infrastructure at the base of the worlds highest peak, such as fancy espresso machines, massages, and five-star cuisine. But is life in Base Camp too cushy?...
Get the Shot: Gear Hacks From 8 Outdoor Adventure Photographers
　　Adventure photography takes a certain level of skill and a lot of know-how. Like any type of photography, the process is all about telling a story, forcing the photographer to be in the right place at the right time — or often ahead of the action. In order to get to the heart of the narrative, the photographer occasionally has...
Keith Haring Running Shoes, Ski Patrol Fashion, Land Cruiser Clothes, and More Emerging Gear
　　Weve got a respectable mix of cool stuff for you this week, from hardy outdoor gear and techy gadgets to colorful collaborations meant to stand out from the crowd. 　　There are a few more collaborations than usual this week, but how can we leave out stylish, Keith Haring-inspired running shoes, understated threads from Toyota, or a fashionable pairing of Osprey...
Finally Undammed: Indigenous Kayakers Become First to Paddle Complete Kalamath River
　　The Kalamath River has been dammed up for 100 years. But thanks to the work of conservation organizations and activists, one by one, the Iron Gate, Copco 1 and 2, and J.C. Boyle dams have come down, and the river has begun to flow freely. 　　For the first time in a century, its continuous and uninhibited from its Keno, Ore.,...
After 10 Years Hiking Europe, These Are My 10 Favorite Treks
　　For years, I’ve snubbed Europe’s mountains as soon as the ski season ended. For me, the Alps were long synonymous with winter: hut-to-hut ski tours in the Italian Dolomites, shots of schnapps at après in Austria, and cozy cabins and hearty meals of fondue and raclette in Switzerland. 　　Around a decade ago, a work assignment took me to the Savoie...
The 6 Best Joggers for Men, Tested in the Real World and In Our Gear Lab
　　The everyday jogger isn’t as robust as soft shell pants you’d climb a mountain in, nor are they lifesaving items like avalanche airbags or helmets that traditionally get tested more rigorously. But during my decade of working as Outside’s Gear Guy, the tests I’ve enjoyed the most are when weve gone deep on everyday pieces of gear like the humble...
Cyberpunk Two-Wheel Transporter: Meet the Infinite Machine Olto
　　If you slowly whittled down a Tesla Cybertruck into an e-bike, I imagine it would look something like this. Of course, I doubt the brand behind this innovative take on an electric bicycle would appreciate the comparison, given the political climate. 　　Regardless, the Olto looks different for a reason: Its not quite like any e-bike/e-moped that has come before. Created...
Plaid That Performs: Pladra Workhorse Wool Flannel Review
　　This spring, I brought a stack of flannels to wear around the chalet on a ski trip to the Alps. We were visiting a lodge on the French-Italian border for some après-heavy backcountry skiing: Plaid shirts, warm fires, morning coffee in tiny cups — that type of stuff. The days were crisp, and the mountains were calling. 　　Ive never worn...
Nike and Faith Kipyegon Plan to Crack the Four-Minute Mile This Month. Here’s How.
　　Earlier this week, I found myself dissecting an embargoed briefing video frame by frame, like a JFK obsessive trying to squeeze meaning from the Zapruder film. I’d just had an interview with three top scientists from Nike’s Breaking4 team, the group tasked with coordinating Faith Kipyegon’s attempt to run the first women’s sub-four-minute mile later this month. I got some...
Another Tourist in Yellowstone Got Too Close to a Bison. It Gored Him.
　　Last summer, Outside sent writer Drew Magary to Yellowstone National Park, not to observe the wildlife, but instead to gawk at the tourists. Amid all the chaos of high season at one of the United States’ most heavily-trafficked national parks, Magary discovered, among other things, that “everyone who comes to Yellowstone is horny for bison.” 　　But unlike other big, dangerous...
Opinel Launches ‘National Parks Collection’ Knives to Support Leave No Trace
　　A lot of utility knives are works of art in and of themselves. But when you combine an already beautiful blade with a handle thats been imbued with an artists touch, it takes the craftsmanship to another level. 　　Opinels limited-edition National Parks collection knives are a perfect example. The folding knife brand launched this collection on June 12, 2025, to...
‘Alone’ Was Forever Changed by a Moose Hunt in the Canadian Backcountry
　　The twang of a recurve bow echoes from the television speakers, and on screen, a man wearing camouflage ducks behind a clump of fir trees. 　　Holy cow, I nailed it, a voice whispers. My heart is pumping so fast right now. 　　The scene marks the turning point of season 6 of the survival reality show Alone, and first aired on June...
