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.

  Today, SRAM officially released information about the new SRAM Red groupset. Road cycling enthusiasts have long awaited this announcement after weeks of media teases.

How to Have Fun at a Festival Without Trashing the Planet
  Festivals, concerts, sports games, and all kinds of other summer events are an undeniable blast, and I highly recommend them. After all, what’s not to love? Great music in the great outdoors, tasty food, live art installations, and a groovy community vibe. But big live events come with a hefty environmental cost—perhaps youve read stories or seen photos of all...
The Best Electric Chainsaws of 2024
  Electric chainsaws are better than gas chainsaws. That may feel like a controversial statement, but cordless electric saws eliminate most of the issues that make gas saws a pain.   They seriously reduce emissions by using electricity instead of oil and gas. And they’re cheaper to run — most don’t need maintenance beyond an occasional chain sharpening.   Electric chainsaws also eliminate...

  Some of the best travel experiences revolve around culture—tasting it, hearing it, seeing it, immersing yourself in it. That’s certainly true in Texas, and in particular San Antonio, where you’ll discover a tapestry of history, local foods, art, nightlife, and more. Outside sent travel couple Mike and Anne Howard of HoneyTrek to explore San Antonio and immerse themselves in Texas...

  Sweatpants aren’t just lazy-day loungewear anymore. Sure, they’re still perfect for laying on the couch on your day off, but the best sweatpants go beyond the couch. They’re perfect for work-from-home comfort, can keep you warm at the gym, and more recently, the cuts and styles make them stylish enough to wear when you’re hanging out in town.   From joggers...

Tune M1 Pop-Top Truck Camper Review: Winter Storm Tested
  The rain turned to snow just as I pulled into the campsite. It was already dusk, and the dark sky and heavy snowflakes instilled a sense of urgency as I backed into a parking space and turned off the pickup.   I opened the door and put up my hood against the wintery wind, buffeting the Tune Outdoor M1 camper bolted...

Resistance Climbing - Existence is Resistance
I didn't watch Resistance Climbing when it first came out, which is perhaps surprising, as it married what have been two of the biggest influences in my life over the past six or seven years, Palestine and climbing. At the end of February 2019, I was roughly a year and a half into a PhD looking at literary representations of...
