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.

A Beginner’s Guide to Watch Straps
　　I was talking with a friend about his watch a few years ago when I was fairly new to the hobby of watch collecting. It had been a gift from his wife for their wedding back in 2017 and he wore it every day. The original leather strap had become worn and a bit cracked in some places near the...
Workhorse Softshell Ski Pants: Outdoor Research Cirque III Review
　　I came underprepared for an annual hut trip to Southern Colorado. Five years in a row, our group had enjoyed alpine starts, clear skies, and the massive sun-baked faces and couloirs of some of the states most impressive peaks. Spring skiing paradise. 　　But this year was different. It had been dumping snow and the winds whipped prior to the trip....
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Goes Off-Road in 2025 With XRT Model
　　While some manufacturers are paring back as EV sales growth slows down, Hyundai remains committed to its all-electric lineup. It’s preparing not only to introduce new models like the big EV9 — set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November — but also expanding the range of packages available for existing models. 　　Barely 3 years after launching...
Xtratuf Football Collection, ‘House of the Dragon’ Trail Runners, Flying 8K Camera, and More Emerging Gear
　　Brand collaborations can sometimes feel like low-hanging fruit— but well still snatch these limited-edition gear runs as soon as they drop. Yes, its a bit silly that Merrell is releasing three different pairs of House of the Dragon-themed trail runners, or that Xtratuf just dropped a huge collection of boots for football fans. 　　But you know what? Merrell still makes...
A Different Kind of Recyclable Carbon Bike Wheel: HUNT H_Cyclo
　　Recyclable carbon wheels have been around for a few years. However, until HUNTs H-Cyclo, they differed in construction and physical properties relative to traditional carbon bicycle wheels, frames, and forks. 　　HUNT Bike Wheel has seemingly solved the Rubiks cube, allowing the brand to recycle traditional thermoset carbon wheels back into materials that can form other carbon parts. The British brand...
Race-Winning Speed With Longer Legs: Thömus Lightrider World Cup Mountain Bike Review
　　Thömus has had very little exposure in our stateside cycling market. The brand recently opened a U.S. headquarters, hoping to increase its presence in our burgeoning mountain bike scene. Continued World Cup race success should bolster those efforts. 　　As the name suggests, the Lightrider World Cup is a race-bred machine. One look at the frames generous tube dimensions tells the...
An Ultralight Tent Without the Ultralight Tradeoffs: NEMO Hornet OSMO 3P Tent Review
　　My climbing partner and I leaned back against a makeshift rock windbreak, looking out over the southern Gore Range just above treeline. We nervously monitored a deep black wall of cloud creeping toward us from the south, drenching and engulfing everything in its path in darkness. 　　It started with a burst of heavy hail. That sent us diving into the...
Brutality, Tactics, and $15K Gear: Path to Paris Paralympics Q&A
　　Every Olympic athlete must overcome barriers just to reach the starting line. But Paralympic athletes face a few extra obstacles on their way to the worlds biggest competition. 　　Just to compete at the highest level, these athletes must obtain expensive, specialized equipment. Thats true for all athletes, of course, but theres a difference of degree. When we review super sneakers...
We Finally Get the Nissan Patrol, Sort Of: Introducing the 2025 Armada Pro-4X
　　The Nissan Armada is no longer second fiddle in the companys global lineup of SUVs. The 2025 Armada gets the same frame as the legendary Nissan Patrol and went through the same durability testing. 　　The Armada adds new levels of luxury in its pavement-forward grades and greatly increased capability off the beaten path thanks to the new Pro-4X grade.

Smith Optics Wander Sunglasses Review: The Harmonic Convergence of Fashion and Function
　　Everyone has a different goal when buying a new pair of sunglasses. For some, sunglasses are a fashion statement, and the sole purpose of their shades is style. For others, performance is paramount, and they’re seeking something secure and comfortable for athletics. Others may be searching for a pair of sunglasses that will offer the best possible protection and shield...
BeerJunkie: Sipping a Shiner Shandy to Close Out Summer ’24
　　Summer shandies theyre hit or miss, expressed Paul Pabst moments before taking his first sip. Some are too lemonade-y, he continued. If I wanted to get a lemonade, Id get a lemonade. 　　Well, if that doesnt hook you, were not sure what will. Shiner Lemonade Shandy is a seasonal beer that comes from the famous Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas....
2025 Volvo EX90 Twin Motor Performance Is a Worthy All-Electric Flagship
　　The 2025 Volvo EX90 is set to become the brand’s all-electric flagship, ushering in what the automaker describes as a “new era” that will, sometime around decade’s end, see it shift completely to battery-electric vehicles. 　　To get a better sense of what direction the Swedish-based, Chinese-owned automaker is taking, I spent a couple of days along the Southern California coast...
