Black Diamond Distance 22 Backpack Women's - Black

• Vest-inspired harness that hugs the body and cuts down on bounce, even fully loaded for a big day out

• Long alpine days, scrambles and fast and light overnights where you need more space than a standard race vest
• Runners and mountain athletes carrying poles, an ice axe, or extra layers for changeable conditions
• Big days out across NZ's alpine terrain, where the weather can turn quickly and you need the extra capacity
• Less suited to shorter races or standard trail runs where 22L is more than you need. The Black Diamond Distance 4 Vest Women's covers that with a lighter, more streamlined build for faster efforts

We stock the Distance 22 because it fills a real gap between a race vest and a full mountaineering pack. It's one of the few packs genuinely built to carry poles and an ice axe while still moving like a running vest, which matters the moment your day shifts from trail running into scrambling or alpine terrain. The women's specific harness shaping is a genuine point of difference too, not just a smaller unisex fit, and it shows in how the pack sits through the shoulders and chest on longer days.
