Black Diamond Distance 8 Backpack

The Distance 8L is our technical backpack that has changed everything. It features an innovative, vest-like carrying system with ample storage space and is designed for ambitious missions in the mountains. The Distance 8L is built to carry everything you need for a day in the mountains. The unique carrying system offers outstanding freedom of movement and a secure, chafe-free fit with its wing construction made of mesh fabric that extends from the back panel along the sides. The Distance 8L has a barely noticeable edge binding and a soft, breathable diamond mesh construction for comfortable wear against the skin. With the Z-Pole storage compartment, you can quickly access your poles on the go, while the two side compression straps allow for quick adjustments to the backpack's volume. The soft flask holders keep your water supplies within reach, while additional front pockets provide secure storage. The Distance 8L features an internal zippered pocket, side stretch mesh pockets, and a zippered pocket on the shoulder strap.
