About this product
The Black Diamond Distance 22 is a lightweight trail-running and fast-and-light alpine backpack built for men who move quickly in the mountains. At just 411 grams and a 22-liter capacity (1,343 cubic inches), it carries a meaningful load without slowing you down. The body is constructed from a custom-developed Nylon 100D plus PE 200D fabric with Dynex Ripstop, a UHMWPE-reinforced material chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio. The harness uses Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology, which improves shoulder strap comfort and freedom of movement while trimming overall weight. Pole management is handled through on-the-go Z-Pole storage and dedicated Z-Pole sleeves, and dual piolet loops accommodate ice axes. Organization includes a large front stretch woven pocket, two soft flask pockets, one zip pocket and two stretch pockets on the shoulder straps, two side stash pockets, and an internal zip pocket with a key clip. Dual side compression straps help stabilize the load. Soft flasks are not included.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Black Diamond Distance 22 for its versatile hybrid design, blending running vest comfort with daypack capacity. The lightweight UHMWPE ripstop fabric, abundant pockets (including soft flask holders and shoulder strap pockets), on-the-go trekking pole storage, and minimal bounce during running are frequently highlighted strengths. Experts note it handles loads up to around 10 to 14 pounds comfortably and works well for trail running, fastpacking, and alpine day missions. The most common criticisms center on fit: some users find the vest harness rides too high, the front closure sits uncomfortably, and the shoulder straps can overstretch under heavy loads. A lack of a hipbelt and limited size options are also noted drawbacks, and a minority of users report strap durability concerns over time.
