Description
<p>The Distance 8 backpack from Black Diamond is a hybrid of an alpine backpack and a running vest - super light, robust and with all the necessary mounting options for mountaineering equipment. The pack accommodates ice tools, trekking poles, water bladder, wind jacket, water bottles and food.</p><p>Despite its low weight, this is a super-robust backpack: this is ensured by the ripstop polyamide coated with UHMWP (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). Black Diamond originally developed this for ultralight webbing, it is 10 times stronger than steel in relation to the weight of the material.</p><p>The wide shoulder straps provide a full fit where nothing wobbles. This is achieved mainly by two chest straps and a quickly adjustable, elastic cord system on the sides. The straps are seamless and have a low volume, which achieves excellent comfort with low weight. This makes the Distance backpack suitable for trail running. The mesh pockets on the straps offer space for two SoftFlask™ bottles, energy bars and a special pocket for the Black Diamond Deploy wind jacket.</p><p>The back panel with Black Diamond Dry™ Steam barrier allows sweat to wisk away and keeps the contents of the rucksack dry - perfect for use in snow. Whether it's a summer's day of alpine climbing, a local mountain run after work or an adventure in vertical ice, the Distance 8 backpack is ready for anything.</p>
