About this product
The Distance Hiking Backpack is a 22-litre alpine and mountaineering pack designed to move with the efficiency of a running vest while carrying enough gear for long mountain days. Weighing just 412 grams, it uses a primary shell of 100-denier nylon and a secondary 200-denier ripstop nylon, with a custom UHMWPE ripstop body fabric for added durability where it counts. The harness uses Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology to improve shoulder strap comfort and reduce weight, and the ventilated back panel helps manage heat on sustained efforts. Organization is thorough: a large front stretch woven pocket, dual side stash pockets, two soft flask pockets, one zip pocket and two stretch shoulder strap pockets, plus an internal zip pocket with a key clip. Dual piolet loops and integrated Z-pole sleeves with on-the-go storage handle technical terrain tools. The pack is carry-on sized, has no hipbelt, and is made in the Philippines.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Black Diamond Distance 22L for its lightweight construction, versatile hybrid design, and body-hugging vest-style harness that minimizes bounce during trail running and fastpacking. The abundance of well-placed pockets, including front chest pockets for on-the-go access, and the pack's ability to carry a surprising amount of gear for its size are frequently highlighted strengths. Build quality and durability also earn consistent approval. The most common criticisms center on fit: the shoulder straps are not adjustable, and some users find sizing tricky or the pack riding high when loaded. The lack of a hipbelt limits comfort with heavier loads, and the steep price point is noted as a consideration.
