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.

1UP’s Super Duty Bike Rack Is a Marvel of Engineering 
  If you asked me to name the best bike brand, it would be impossible. Dozens of brands make top-shelf bikes that are an absolute pleasure to ride and full of creative technologies.

Wildly Light, Fast, and Expensive: Yeti ASR T5 Ultimate XX SL Transmission Review
  Yeti Cycles is a brand with a rich and storied racing history. Surprisingly, Yeti hasnt had a full-blown cross-country race bike in its lineup since it stopped making the ASR in 2018 — until it launched the all-new ASR in March 2024.   Yeti went all-in to make the new ASR a thoroughbred MTB XC race machine capable of going toe-to-toe...

Entry to These 20 National Parks Won’t Cost You a Dime
  Many of America’s 63 national parks charge an entrance fee, usually $30-$35 per vehicle or $15 if you’re walking or on a bike. Or you can get an annual pass for just $80.

These Are the Best Meals You Can Eat While Skiing
  Everyone knows a skier who prides themselves on skiing through lunch, only to fuel up on pocket jerky and maybe a PBR on the lift. But during a long day on the slopes, we’re never opposed to warming up our toes and refueling in the lodge.   Of course, many lodge cafeterias offer an exceptionally average $30 plate of a burger...
Trango Agility Duo Dry 9.1 Review: Sendy, Spendy, and Extra Safe
  Coming up on 2 decades of climbing, I’ve never been seriously injured. I chalk it up to consistently safe practices, great climbing partners, and a lot of luck. I have a few friends who haven’t been so lucky. They live with life-altering spinal injuries, partial paralysis, and chronic pain. These are a result of the most common climbing accident —...
How to Learn a New Sport with Your Significant Other
  It takes a lot to push yourself to your physical limit alongside a significant other. It takes even more to do so for 12 straight days in some of the country’s most unforgiving terrain. And yet that’s what Andrew Hamilton and Andrea Sansone did in July 2024, when they set the couple’s record for hiking all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot...
I Just Like Standing on Summits. All Summits.
  My wife, Hilary, was essentially handing me a gift, and I didn’t know what to do with it: She was taking our toddler, Jay, to the Oregon coast for a week, and I was invited to not join them.   Meaning: I had a full week to do anything I wanted, for the first time since Jay was born 14 months...
California-Legal Automatic Knife: Prometheus Design Werx SPD CAS OTF Review
  I’m not a prepper or survivalist, but I like to think that I am prepared to survive when I spend time in the outdoors. So, like many folks, a crucial part of my kit is a good knife. Or, at least, it used to be. Now, it’s a series of knives that work in harmony to complete different tasks.   For...

Little Camber Goes Long Way: 4FRNT Nevar Backcountry Ski Review
  We pretend that backcountry skiing in Colorado is all powder all the time. I’d be lying if I said my ski acquisitions over the last decade didn’t reflect that fantasy, too.   So when I scraped down a wind-scoured slope, thrashed through breakable crust, and gasped for air in a cloud of deep powder all within the span of one backcountry...
