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.

Getting Up Early on a Powder Day Is Overrated
　　There’s no other way to put it: My skier friends and I are hedonists. We chase the pleasures of a 100-day ski season, cold snow splashing in our faces as we make turns in deep powder. We stay up late dancing, eat fondue and sip a cold beer on a sundeck under an azure sky. We minimize discomfort by shelling out...
Outdoor Industry Confronts ‘Scary’ Future of Higher Tariffs
　　Kyle Ranson is worried about both of his outdoor brands. Hes the founder of Portland-based e-bike maker Vvolt and the CEO of Showers Pass, which makes technical apparel. Like much of the U.S. economy, Ranson relies on the import of products and materials made in China. And for over 25 years, business has mostly been good. 　　But the last few...
Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail Is America’s Friendliest Thru-Hike
　　The Green Bay Packers were suddenly not the most interesting entertainment option in Mac’s Pub and Grub, a dim dive packed with people wearing Packers gear on a Sunday afternoon in October in the lakeside Wisconsin town of Merrimac. Unfortunately for me, I was. 　　Midway through the first quarter, I had slipped inside Mac’s, found an unoccupied stool, and leaned against...

This trade show gives journalists, retailers, influencers, and more a peek at the future of footwear — and gear! 　　It’s also a chance to speak directly with the designers, managers, and CEOs of the companies that continue to push the sport forward....
Portable and Potent, This Power Station Keeps Us Juiced: Anker Solix C1000 Review
　　My camping life has really changed since I met my partner. He loves being outdoors, but since he used to be in the military, he’s had enough of roughing it. He likes enjoying creature comforts like a Keurig, LED mood lighting, and a portable toilet — all of which (well, sans toilet) require portable power on our travels. 　　It’s been...
A Wide, Playful, Economic Splitboard: Korua Shapes Transition Finder Splitboard Review
　　My first day riding the Korua Shapes Transition Finder splitboard was in a place that we call the Honey Hole. It has reliable coverage and predictable avalanche conditions, making it our go-to spot for early-season tours. The best part about this zone is that it is riddled with small rollers, gullies, and features that invite you to take a playful...
REI Stormhenge Down Hybrid Parka Review: Warm and Wallet Friendly
　　The REI Stormhenge Down Hybrid Parka comes very close to top-notch performance while costing around half of what you can expect from some of its more venerated competitors. The REI Stormhenge Down Hybrid Parka isn’t the lightest backpacking or expedition-style puffy. 　　It doesn’t have a breathable GORE-TEX membrane, and it doesn’t come down past your knees like a more stylish,...

GearJunkie Stories of the Year: Readers’ & Editors’ Top Picks
　　If I had to sum up the last 12 months, it would be with a question: Does time move faster with more news? Admittedly, many people may not feel the intensity of current events like a journalist toiling away at the keyboard every day. But Id wager Im not the only news junkie who felt something akin to an overdose...
Rare, Do-It-All Blade Proves Its Pedigree: TRM Bulldog Review
　　While many knife brands iterate, innovate, and release new knives weekly or monthly,  I prefer refinement and perfection, honed over years, in a select few models. Believe it or not, there is a sterling example of this type of knife production. 　　Massachsetts-based Three Rivers Manufacturing (TRM) does not release a new knife every week or month.Instead, it works on and...
Black Diamond Recon LT Ski Pants Review: A Versatile Shell for All-Mountain and Uphilling Adventures
　　I opted for the be bold, start cold strategy, wearing only a light waffle zip along with the Black Diamond Recon Stretch LT Pant. It felt balmy for 7 a.m. as we set off on the skin track en route up Ski Hayden, a local off-piste jaunt accessed off Castle Creek Road outside of Aspen. One creek crossing, 3 hours...
