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, the fabric offers strong abrasion resistance while keeping packed weight to just 411 g (14.5 oz). The 22-liter (1,342 cu in) capacity is organized across a generous pocket layout: two dedicated flask pockets, two zippered front pockets, two stretch shoulder strap pockets, two side stash pockets, one stretch front pocket, 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. Side compression straps help cinch the load, and mesh shoulder straps aid ventilation. No rain cover, waist belt, 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.
