Black Diamond Distance 22 Backpack Men's Alloy

$379.99

A fast‑moving, mountain‑ready pack built for long missions and technical terrain

The Black Diamond Distance 22 is designed for runners and fast‑packers who want a lightweight, stable pack that carries like a running vest but has the volume for big days in the mountains. With a harness inspired by BD’s Distance running vests, it delivers a close, bounce‑free fit, while the 22‑litre capacity gives you room for layers, food, water, and essential gear. Durable UHMWPE ripstop fabric keeps weight down without sacrificing strength, and the Alloy colourway keeps things clean and understated.
