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.

Mud Season Is Coming. Are You Ready to Survive It?
　　Whenever I encounter mud puddles on a trail, I flash back to one of the best-loved books of my 1990s childhood, We’re Going On A Bear Hunt. After contending with tall grass and a river, the characters in the book find themselves facing their latest obstacle, “thick, oozy mud.” “We can’t go over it, we can’t go under it,” they...
Unicorns Are Real: Atomic Maven Skis Review
　　It’s a spring day at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort when I click into the Atomic Maven 94 CTI at the top of Bridger Gondola. The sun has barely kissed the slopes, and the corduroy is crisp and untouched. I drop over the edge of the flats onto the slope and carve my first snowy arc of the day. 　　I slice...
Try It to Buy It: Near Zero Launches Backpacking Gear Rental Program
　　Its not the mileage, inclines, or creepy crawlies that can scare off new backpackers fastest — its the cost of gear. The hefty price tag associated with collecting backpacking equipment is a reasonable hesitation.

The Best Fishing Hats of 2025
　　What in the world is a fishing hat? That term seems like something a marketing team would create to target old men who are bored in retirement.

Patagonia Launches Adaptable, Lightweight, Snow-Shedding Pack: PowSlayer Ski Backpack Review
　　I waited above the powdery roller while several snowboarders and skiers in my crew dropped one by one down the short, open pitch. Each rider ollied, popping a few feet above the fresh snow before falling out of view.
