Built for ambitious mountain athletes who move seamlessly between running, scrambling, hiking, and climbing, the Black Diamond Distance 15 Backpack is designed for long days in technical alpine terrain
Combining the comfort and mobility of a running vest with the storage capacity of a lightweight mountain pack, the Distance 15 is engineered to keep pace with demanding alpine objectives.
The innovative hybrid design features a performance-fit, vest-style harness that delivers a secure, body-hugging fit while maintaining unrestricted movement on challenging terrain. Black Diamond’s Stitchless Edge Taping Technology (BD SETT) enhances comfort, durability, and freedom of movement while reducing overall weight. Smooth edge binding and custom-engineered diamond mesh provide exceptional next-to-skin comfort, breathability, and support during high-output pursuits.
Constructed from custom-designed ripstop fabric reinforced with Dynex™ fibers, the Black Diamond Distance 15 offers impressive durability and strength without compromising weight. Dual side compression straps allow you to stabilize loads and adjust pack volume as needed, while integrated Z-Pole sleeves provide secure, on-the-go pole storage for fast transitions in the mountains.
The Black Diamond Distance 15’s thoughtful storage options keep essential gear organized and easily accessible. The pack features two soft flask pockets (soft flasks sold separately), one zippered and two stretch shoulder strap pockets, dual side stash pockets, and an internal zip pocket with a key leash. Dual piolet carry options further enhance its versatility for technical alpine adventures.
