Why We Like The Black Diamond Distance 15L Backpack

Made for fast and light mountain missions, Black Diamond's Distance 15 Backpack is a hybrid pack that combines an alpine-worthy daypack with shoulder straps similar to running vests. We love that the shoulder harness utilizes Black Diamond's stitch-less Edge Taping Technology to eliminate chafing, while the ventilating back panel keeps our back cooler and our load close to body for scrambling and running technical ridgelines. Plus, external gear attachments and easily accessible stretch pockets keep our ice tools, trekking poles, devices, and snacks at hand.

Better than Expected

I was introduced to Black Diamond from watching a few vlogs created by ultramarathoners. My first piece of BD was a headlight that was used to clean out a crawl space. We hired a junk crew to help and one of the members used my headlight and was amazed at how great it was. I have used it myself for camping and other projects. My next purchase was this distance backpack. I ordered the large and I have to say I really like it. I plan to use it during a race in Arizona coming up in February. I like that it hugs your bag so you don’t have to worry about annoying, loose pieces during a run. Also has good storage for hydrations packets and snacks. Definitely will keep coming back to BD.

Great backpack!!

Love the size and fit of the backpack. It is super light but well made and sturdy. It doesn’t slide around in your back. It’s fit very well. And it’s a nice color! Very excited to continue using it. It’s a great size for easy day hikes where you need water, a snack, and a jacket with you.

Improvement from Unisex XS

I thoroughly enjoyed the first unisex version of the 15L vest. I ordered the Women's Small and there are noticeable improvements. I feel that it runs smaller than the Unisex XS. It feels very solid when not overloaded (i.e. in running vest mode). However, when loaded to towards max capacity I think I'd be slightly happier in a Medium. (5'5', 132lb, 32b/c). Regardless it's a pack I reach for consistently. I like that I can use as both a day pack and a running vest. Ideal for travel when you want to get a run in with hydration

Exactly what I needed

This bag fits great and is so good for so many things, so far hiking and even a bit of biking! So great to have such a versatile bag that can do more then one thing!

Perfect do it all pack

recently decided that i was narrowing down the quiver to just two packs- this was my choice for short or long days and i am so happy i chose it . It carrys a substantial amoun of gear in a way that isnt unconfortable and is fialry water repellent. overalll a great choice

Great performance

This pack is great: super comfortable and has everything you need and no extra bells and whistles. So far I've only used it on day hikes and on a few long trail runs and it holds up nicely. There isn't a whole lot of adjustability, so when I was running the pack moved around a bit. I ordered the smallest size and I am 5'0" and 110 lbs with a small chest. Sometimes I have to pull the chest straps all the way tight, so I wish there was one size smaller. But I think it will work great in the colder seasons when I have more layers. Can't wait to take this up some alpine routes.
