Black Diamond Distance 15 Pack

Today's mountain athletes have a penchant for blurring the lines between different sports. It isn't uncommon anymore to see climbers running between routes to accomplish ambitious linkups, skiers biking to the mountain to cut down on carbon emissions, and ultra runners combining technical scrambling and fifth-class climbing with long multi-day efforts. The Black Diamond Distance 15 results from this mountain sport evolution. Built on a running vest platform, it moves with you during fast-paced efforts but has enough capacity and features to carry technical gear and multiple layers for long days and demanding terrain. In addition to the vest pockets for flasks and nutrition, the Distance 15 has a main stash pocket for your layers and gear, a sleeve for your hydration bladder, and an ice axe and trekking pole attachments. Built using a burly UHMWP ripstop fabric, the Distance 15 can stand up to abrasive alpine environments and bushwhacks, and the side compression system allows the pack to hug close to your body and move with you - essential when you're carrying more weight than a typical running vest can handle. If you're looking to go the distance in mountains and have a mixture of snow, rock, and runnable trail on your route, the Distance 15 will be your new fast-and-light companion.

• Running vest harness for comfortable and secure carry while running.
• Up front, there is storage for a pair of soft flasks and nutrition, plus a hydration sleeve, so you never need to take your pack off while moving.
• Dual ice axe attachments for technical routes.
• Side compression cords to cinch down your load, and elastic compression on the sides of the vest to hold the pack close to your body.
• Water-resistant main compartment for four-season running and climbing.
