Black Diamond Distance 22 Backpack (2026)

When you need just a bit more space for extra layers or technical gear, the Distance 22L pack features a performance fit vest style harness and an ultralight pack that will take you anywhere you want to go.

Designed for long days in the alpine or fast and light overnights, the Distance 22L blends running vest technology with our alpine pack designs.

With a vest-inspired suspension that reduces bounce for running, the Distance 22 combines lightweight and comfortable running technology with ample extra storage for bigger mountain objectives. The pack is made with BD SETT (Stitchless Edge Taping Technology) that improves fit, comfort and durability on the move. The Distance 22 is fully equipped with Z-Pole storage that’s easy to deploy on the go, plus dual piolet carry options.
