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.

This Big, Bizarre-Looking Duck Is Making Down Gear Warmer, Longer-Lasting, and More Affordable
  Despite every manner of challenger — from biodegradable synthetics, to alpaca fleece, Seawool made from crushed oyster shells, and even salvaged bison fiber — the undisputed king of warm, insulated gear remains goose down.   An analysis by the Global Trends Observatory forecast that the market value of down, which stood at $3.5 billion in 2023, will hit $5.2 billion by 2032. Its...
This Pack Made Packrafting the Arctic Possible: Seek Outside Unaweep 6300 Review
  Six hundred fifty pounds sure sounds like a lot of weight. Until you’re trying desperately to squeeze three fellers, 8 days of supplies, packraft kits, and bear protection into the back of a Cessna 185 on floats. Then it’s just a cruel number.   The ancient scale on the porch of Brooks Range Aviation in Bettles, Alaska, weighed our fate: 630...
Yellowstone Thermal Crust Collapses, Severely Burning Teen
  A 17-year-old boy from Colorado was severely burned on the morning of July 28 after breaking through the thin surface of a geothermal area near Lone Star Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. According to park officials, the teen had been hiking with his family when he stepped onto unstable ground. His foot plunged through the fragile crust into scalding thermal...
First Look: HOKA Mafate 5
  Running terrain of the rocky-rooty-rutty variety is fun and rewarding, but no easy task. Add stream crossings, scree fields, and occasional snow patches, and it’s no surprise wild trails demand focus and athleticism at any pace, even the most leisurely. If you up the stakes by racing, then every foot strike carries even more weight.   That heightened challenge is why...

First Look: Insta360’s X5 Is the Best Camera for Travel and Outdoor Adventure
  When 360-degree video first debuted, it wasn’t much more than a neat party trick. But Insta360’s latest flagship camera, the X5, has leveled up the game so much that it now isn’t just the best 360 camera out there—it’s one of the best adventure travel cameras available, period.   That’s because the X5 is a serious storytelling tool, perfect for travelers...

Epic Overland Cross-Continent Adventure in a Subaru Crosstrek
  A coast-to-coast road trip is a staple of American culture and is doable in a few days if you stick to major highways. However, a route exists offering a slower, off-road-centric way across the country: the TransAmerica Trail (TAT).   TAT prioritizes adventure over rapidity, affording an Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean route with thousands of miles of dirt and gravel,...
Leatherman Recall: Multi-Tool Blade Defect Poses ‘Laceration Hazard’
  Last week, Leatherman issued a voluntary recall for its Charge Plus and Charge Plus TTi multi-tools over a manufacturing defect that prevented some units blades from closing completely. Leatherman notes this poses a laceration risk to users, although no reports of injuries have been received.   The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is assisting Leatherman in the recall, lists the number...
