Black Diamond Distance 4 Vest
In a running vest, size is critical. Too baggy, and you risk stroopwafel shaped bruises from the contents of your pack bouncing off your lumbar for miles on end. Too tight, and you won’t be taking a full breath. Black Diamond has tackled this issue with 3 different sizes in their new Distance 4 vest. This second generation running vest also has first class accommodations thanks to a thoroughly thought through design. Two included soft flasks are a perfect fit for their pockets, but do not interfere with access to other stash pockets. Need a jacket on the fly? Just reach back and BOOM, easy access thanks to the lumbar stretch pocket. Want some food? Pull from either quick-access side pocket, or a zippered front pocket. Looking for a comfortable companion for your mountain adventures? Don the Black Diamond Distance 4 Vest on your next run.
- On the go Z-pole storage for efficient trekking pole use.
- High stretch side panels keeps your gear snug no matter the jostling.
- An innovative harness layout combined with soft flexible edge bindings keeps you comfortable even when fully loaded.
- Removable micro-whistle hidden in the front zippered pocket.
