Black Diamond Distance 22 Backpack Women's - Glacier

$379.99

The Black Diamond Distance 22 Backpack is built for runners who need more than a vest can carry but still want to move fast. In a women's specific fit and the crisp Glacier colourway, it's a great option for long alpine days, fastpacking missions, and adventures that blur the line between running and scrambling. If you're after a running backpack with real capacity and a stable, bounce free ride, this is it.

  • Vest inspired suspension keeps the pack locked in and stable, so you get real capacity without the usual backpack bounce
  • A women's specific fit through the shoulders and chest means the harness sits comfortably rather than digging in on long days
  • 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
  • 22 litre capacity
  • Women's specific fit with shorter torso length and shaped shoulder straps
  • Approximately 406g
  • Body fabric: 90% Nylon, 10% Dynex, liner 100% polyester
  • 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), two 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 Women'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.
