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).

This Fall Could Bring the Best Northern Lights in Decades. Here’s How to See Them.

　　If you’ve been waiting to book a Northern Lights trip, it’s time to make it happen. This autumn is expected to kick off one of the strongest aurora seasons in decades—think last year’s low-latitude displays, and potentially even better. 　　That’s because the sun has reached its roughly 11-year peak of activity, known as solar maximum. The bright star causes auroras...

Well-Mannered, Quiet Rugged-Terrain Tires: Kumho Road Venture RT Review

　　As I enter a wet, sloppy, dirt lane and sink in a foot of mud, I roll onto the throttle. The Kumho Road Venture rugged-terrain (RT) tires spin up and claw in, and the rear-wheel-drive Tacoma walks out of the 100-foot–long muddy expanse with little trouble. But, in desperate need of a bath. 　　This new tire from Kumho claims all-terrain...

Oiselle High Rise Roga Review: My Go-To Women’s Running Shorts

　　Im a consistent runner and picky about my gear. I dont have time (or patience) for shorts that creep up, slide around, or dig my midsection into submission. All of this is to say: the Oiselle High Rise Long Roga womens running shorts have officially claimed the top spot in my drawer. 　　After logging about 20 miles of running and...

Refined Restomod Gets Turbo Power: EMC G-Wagon Wolf Review

　　When Expedition Motor Company (EMC) originally started building G-Wagen Wolf restomods, the engine stood out as the only cause for customer hesitation. The diesel inline-five on offer delivered plenty of character but a total lack of top-end power. Highway speeds, therefore, presented something of a struggle, despite all the other updates that totally transformed this former military vehicle. 　　Now, EMC...

Floaty, Poppy, Forgiving: Rome Women’s Ravine Snowboard Review

　　Snowboards can have strong personalities that make them better at charging, jumping, or pow-slaying. The Ravine is a one-of-a-kind quiver-smasher that excels at all three. 　　This all-mountain snowboard is playful and stable without being overly aggressive. After riding this board for a full year at three ski resorts — through tight trees, moguls, steep groomers, and deep pow plus a...
