Why We Like The Black Diamond Distance 22L Backpack
For unassisted ultras that take us into rugged alpine conditions, we stride out with the Black Diamond Distance 22L Backpack. The daypack capacity, Z-pole sleeves, and ice axe storage ensure we can carry all the fuel, layers, and tools we need to tackle harsh, varying conditions, while the vest-style suspension, dual sternum straps, and side compression minimize bounce and sway when picking up the pace or scrambling up near-vert sections. Plus, the women's-specific fit and stitch-free shoulder-strap edges promise a snug, low-bulk, and low-friction fit.

I really wanted to like this pack - bought it primarily for multipitch climbing. But it hasn’t quite held up to the job. After just a month of use (probably 10 days out) there are small tears developing in the bottom of the bag (on the durable ripstop fabric!). And the shoulder straps aren’t adjustable so it’s hard to crank it down tight, especially since it doesn’t have the waist belt. It carries well with a light load, but at max capacity I wish for more strap adjustability than it has. That said, it might be the right bag for your application! The stretch outside pocket is surprisingly durable, I love the running vest chest pockets, and you can get a lot in it (maybe too much in it). But it isn’t very durable.
