About this product
The Black Diamond Distance 8 Backpack is a women's-specific trail running and fastpacking pack built for efficiency and minimal weight. At just 320 grams and 8 liters (488 cubic inches) of capacity, it is designed to carry only what is essential without slowing you down. The body is constructed from a custom-developed Nylon 100D plus PE 200D fabric with Dynex Ripstop and UHMWPE ripstop panels for a durable yet lightweight build. The women's-specific harness uses Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology to improve shoulder strap comfort, freedom of movement, and overall weight reduction. Integrated Z-Pole sleeves and on-the-go storage make trekking pole management straightforward on the move. Hydration is handled by two soft flask pockets on the shoulder straps, along with one zip pocket and two additional stretch shoulder strap pockets. Dual side compression straps, two side stash pockets, and one internal zip pocket with a key clip round out the organization. Available in Dark Patina.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Black Diamond Distance 8 Womens for its exceptional comfort, crediting the vest-style harness, Stitchless Edge Taping Technology, and breathable diamond mesh back panel for keeping chafing minimal even on long, fast-paced days. The women's-specific fit, with curved shoulder straps and a shorter torso length, earns frequent approval, as do the generous front chest pockets, intuitive Z-pole storage, and overall lightweight feel. The most common criticisms center on fit limitations: some users with larger chest sizes find the harness difficult to dial in comfortably, and the main compartment opening is noted as non-stretchy and slightly awkward to access. Flask compatibility can also be hit or miss depending on bottle brand.
