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.

Outdoorspeople Are Obsessed With the Summer Solstice. This is Why.
  Growing up in suburban North Atlanta, the only time I ever heard about the solstice was during the astronomy segment of science class. It wasn’t until I moved out West that I learned it’s basically the unofficial national holiday of the outdoors.   “What are you doing for the solstice?” a friend asked me the first year I lived in Colorado....
Tariff Dodger: (Mostly) Made-in-USA Knafs ‘Little Lulu’ Review
  For the last few months, the outdoor industry, along with most other manufacturing industries in the U.S, has been in a pickle over the same buzzword: tariffs.

This Rod Won’t Teach You to Fish, But It’ll Do Everything Else: Fenwick Elite Bass Casting Rod Review
  I immediately knew it was a big’ ol bass when I felt a light bump and set the hook. My assumption was confirmed when the largemouth launched out of the water, trying to shake the jig I had just lodged in its mouth with my Fenwick Elite Bass casting rod loose. “Oh gosh, that’s gotta be a 4- or 5-pounder,”...
Part Pack, Part Vest for Fast Alpine Travel: Millet Trilogy Sky 25+ Backpack Review
  We started from the trailhead just before sunrise — headlamps on, moving at a power-hike pace toward a spring ski objective deep in Colorado’s alpine. Within an hour, the skis and skins were deployed, but the pace couldn’t let up.   Now in the alpine, we transitioned back to boots. I slid my skis into the loops of Millet’s new Trilogy...
Feast for the Eyes: ‘Astonishing’ Images From 2025 Pacific Crest Trail Photo Contest
  Photo contests are about much more than recognizing talented shutterbugs. These celebrations of the medium can force us to slow down and take a moment to truly appreciate what were looking at.   The social media platforms we all use —the ones filled with more jaw-dropping images than a Life magazine retrospective —are still more known for doomscrolling than for quiet...

Light-Up Mountain Lamp, Gold SEAL Watch, Hunt-Inspired Sandals, and More Emerging Gear
  It wasnt intentional, but we ended up with a technology-heavy roster of new products this week. Perhaps thats no accident, given that even our outdoor lives look increasingly like an away mission from a Star Trek episode.   That means outdoor creatives will find plenty to interest them, however, including durable new packs for photographers, tough charging cables, and recycled cases...

This Pair of Sleep Headphones Helps You Sleep Comfortably
  I was at the gym, listening to Tim Ferriss’ Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice From the Best in the World, when an interviewee mentioned that a pair of sleep headphones had transformed their once-wakeful nights. A lifelong insomniac, I immediately set down my dumbbells, grabbed my phone, and placed an order.   A week later, my AcousticSheep SleepPhones arrived.   (TL;DR:...
