Newly re-modelled with a hybrid design that includes a vest-inspired suspension designed to keep weight off your shoulders, the Distance 15 is ideal for running, climbing, and fast hiking.
Utilising Black Diamond's Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology, the shoulder strap edge binding is fully edge taped rather than sewn, which allows for superior weight reduction while also promoting an increase in movement and comfort. This technology, combined with an adjustable, elastic-cording compression system, will give you a more secure ride while climbing, scrambling and running.
Paying homage to Black Diamond's signature Blitz-style top opening, the Distance 15 allows quick and easy access to your gear, getting the adventure started with no fuss. It also includes a stash pocket to tuck away essentials. Inside, there's a mesh divider which will store a cordelette or water bladder, and this can also integrate with the pack's hose routing system.
Made from BD's ultralight UHMWP 10x Ripstop Yarns, the Distance is tough and durable without any unnecessary weight. The exterior side of the bag includes dual piolet/ice axe holsters and dual Z-pole quiver sleeves to stash your trekking poles on demand as soon as the terrain changes. The dual front stretch pockets are an extra place to stash any nutrition, bottles or gear, making the Black Diamond Distance 15 one of the very best ultra-versatile packs for moving light and fast in the mountains.
