About this product

The Black Diamond Distance 22L is a hybrid daypack designed for trail running, hiking, and scrambling, drawing on vest-style construction to keep the load close to the body and minimize bounce during faster-paced movement. Built from UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) ripstop fabric, it offers strong abrasion resistance at a packed weight of just 411 g (14.5 oz) for a 22-liter (1,342 cu in) capacity. The vest-style suspension uses mesh shoulder straps and side compression straps in place of a traditional waist belt, prioritizing freedom of movement. Pockets are plentiful: two dedicated flask pockets, a stretch front pocket, two zippered front pockets, two stretch shoulder-strap pockets, two side stash pockets, and an internal zippered pocket with a key clip. Dual ice axe carry points and Z-pole trekking pole sleeves extend its usefulness into alpine terrain. No rain cover or hydration reservoir is included. The pack carries a limited two-year manufacturer warranty.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Black Diamond Distance 22L for its versatile hybrid design, blending a running vest harness with daypack capacity, making it well-suited for trail running, fast hiking, and alpine scrambling. The abundance of pockets, minimal bounce, and durable UHMWPE ripstop fabric earn frequent compliments, as does its comfort for loads up to around 12 to 14 pounds. The updated harness, which replaces an older cord-based design, is seen as a meaningful durability improvement. The most common criticism is the absence of a hipbelt, which limits load-carrying comfort for heavier gear. Some users also find the vest straps ride too high or feel restrictive during dynamic movement, and the steep price is noted as a consideration.
