Black Diamond Distance 6 Vest
The Black Diamond Distance 6 Vest is your perfect storage solution for mid to long-distance runs. The back offers a pass-through lumbar pocket that is accessible without removing the vest, an upper zip pocket for securing valuables and small items in an out-of-the-way location, and underneath both of these pockets runs a full-length reservoir sleeve that doubles as additional storage, giving you options for not just carrying your gear but keeping it organized to boot. On the front is a pocket-palooza with space for water, snacks, and anything else you want to access quickly and easily. The ingenious pole carry system lets you attach/remove your poles in front of you, where they're easy to see and handle, then pass them over your head and tighten them against the back for a secure, out-of-your-way pole carry solution. When it comes to front vs. back pole carries, the Distance 6 gives you the best of both worlds. Not using poles? The pole-carry tucks into pockets and can even be removed from the vest. Whether you need a vest for racing or just general, all-day trail escapades, you'll go the distance with the Distance 6 Vest on your back.
- Pole carry combines the ease and speed of frontside carries with the stability and unobtrusiveness of backside carries.
- Diamond spacer mesh is highly breathable and soft to the touch for shirtless use on hot days.
- Upper zip pocket on the back is perfect for keeping smaller items secure and accessible.
- Lumbar pocket is usable without removing the vest.
- Reservoir pocket can hold up to 2L bladders or additional layers.
