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.

There Is Only One Women-Owned Heli-Ski Outfit in America — And They’re Family
  Mandi Blewett had been operating an angling lodge on British Columbias Dean River for a decade when the flood came. In 2010, record rains deluged the region, and the river spilled over its banks. The torrent was so violent that it altered the course of the river, which slithered toward their home and business.   It was running right in front...
Wolves to Lose Federal Protections in Bill Passed by House
  Efforts to protect Americas gray wolf population have sparked debate for years — and soon those plans may face another obstacle. On Dec. 18, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species list.   If passed by the Senate and signed into law, H.R. 845, the Pet and Livestock Protection Act,...
Swiss Army Roller Bag: Victorinox Mythic Frequent Flyer Carry-On Business Review
  A roomy and tough carry-on bag is the only surefire way to prevent an airline from losing your luggage and sending your trip into a tailspin. As one of those weirdos like me who refuse to travel with checked luggage, I was intrigued by Victorinox’s Mythic Frequent Flyer Carry-On Business ($543).   Like the multitools that Victorinox is known for, there’s...
Move Faster, Transition Quicker, Adventure Longer: Dynafit TLT X Review
  The moment it became clear was halfway up Teton Pass’s Taylor Mountain at sunrise. I was skinning in that quiet blue hour, expecting the usual ultralight-boot experience: a cramped toe box, midfoot pressure, and the slightly awkward stride I’ve learned to endure on big climbs. Instead, the TLT X moved with me. My stride felt almost too smooth for a...
Alarm Spreads Over Amendment That Could Remove Park Protections
  A new attempt to safeguard national parks from losing federal protection and oversight is at risk of failure. Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R) —who proposed the sale of up to 3 million acres of public land this summer — introduced an amendment this week that would strip language from an appropriations bill that specifically outlines federal protections of all national...
Great News for Public Land: This National Park Just Got Bigger

On Dec. 16, local authorities approved the National Park Services bid to purchase 400.82 additional acres of land. SNP is now hopeful of expanding and protecting more of this unique desert region in the...
A Look Inside Rejuvenated Toyota Arizona Proving Grounds
  Turn right here and then feel free to get up to 50 mph. That’s what Toyota Senior Engineering Manager Jakin Wilson said to me as I pilot a Tacoma Trailhunter through a lumpy dirt trail, replete with sudden peaks and troughs, terrain changes, and sweeping bends.   I gleefully rocketed up to 55 mph, maxed out the suspension travel, and worked...
Tech-Heavy, Compact, and Inexpensive: Coast FL97R Headlamp Review
  As I shivered in the predawn darkness, the need for a caffeine hit was overwhelming. I was groggy and tired from back-to-back days of whitetail hunting, and prime time was fast approaching. My head wasnt in the game, and it needed to be.   Twenty feet in the air, I shifted in my tree saddle and started digging through my pack,...
Tailgate Debates: Hunters’ Perspectives
  Presented by Ram Trucks      In my hunting crew, we have a varied set of individuals who come from different backgrounds with wildly different experiences. We have friends who spend all year hunting, and others who do more fishing than hunting, but they also go out on annual big game trips.   Despite their differences, they have core commonalities: they are...
Engineered for Detours: Toyota Trucks Challenge Shows How Adventure Shapes Athletes
  Play Detours defined this adventure-filled competition, whether teams ripped into first place or grinned their way into dead last. In the finale of Toyotas Destination Detour, the challenges heat up between Team 4Runner, Team Tacoma, and Team Land Cruiser. Each team ticked their checklists left and right as they raced to the 5 oclock deadline — and the $10,000 prize....
Fight Fire With Sound: Sonic Tech Could Protect Homes From Wildfires
  Wildfires destroy thousands of homes in the U.S. every year.

Mercedes-Benz Creates a Massive Luxury Unimog Pickup
