Black Diamond Distance 22 Backpack Men's - Alloy

• Vest inspired suspension keeps the pack locked in and stable, so you get real capacity without the usual backpack bounce
• Z-Pole storage and dual piolet carry options mean poles and an ice axe are always within easy reach
• Two soft flask pockets up front keep your hydration accessible without breaking stride
• Plenty of thoughtfully placed pockets, from shoulder strap storage to side stash pockets, keep small essentials sorted and easy to find
• Stitchless Edge Taping Technology construction improves fit and durability, so it holds up to repeated big days out

• 22 litre capacity
• Approximately 412g
• Custom developed UHMWPE ripstop body fabric
• BD SETT (Stitchless Edge Taping Technology) construction
• Dual side compression system
• Z-Pole storage and dual piolet carry
• Two soft flask pockets (flasks not included), one zip and two stretch shoulder strap pockets
• Two side stash pockets and one internal zip pocket with key clip

• Long days in the alpine, fastpacking trips, and multi hour mountain missions
• Runners who need to carry extra layers, poles, or an ice axe alongside the usual essentials
• Anyone who's outgrown a standard running vest but doesn't want a bulky, bouncy hiking pack
• Less suited to shorter, faster efforts where you don't need the extra capacity. The Black Diamond Distance 4 Vest Men's is a better pick from our range there, with a lighter, more streamlined build for quicker days out

The Distance 22 fills a real gap for runners heading into bigger alpine days who need more room than a race vest but don't want to lose the running fit and feel. The vest inspired suspension genuinely earns its keep here, since it keeps a 22 litre load feeling stable and controlled rather than throwing you around on technical terrain. It's a smart pick for anyone tackling long mountain days, scrambles, or overnight fastpacking trips where carrying capacity actually matters.
