Engineered to redefine your line by giving you the ability to blend mountain terrain and activities, the Distance 15 is a hybrid pack that transcends barriers. By combining running-vest technology with our award-winning pack design, the Distance 15 moves with you while you run yet carries alpine gear with purpose-built features, so you have the gear you need when the trail ends, and the climbing begins. Built from our UHMWP 10x Ripstop Yarns—the same burly material we use in our climbing dogbones and Ultralight Camalots—the Distance fabric is literally 10-times stronger than steel per weight, while remaining so light it floats in water. The shoulder strap harness system utilizes our Stitch-less Edge Taping Technology—meaning the shoulder strap edge binding is fully edge taped instead of sewn, more like today’s innovative sportswear then a traditional running backpack—which allows for superior comfort, movement, and weight reduction. Also, the harness system is constructed with an adjustable, elastic-cording side compression system, which gives you a more secure ride while running, scrambling and climbing. This vest-like system also includes dual flask pockets that fit two BD HydraPak SoftFlask (sold separately) and a Deploy pocket to stash the BD Deploy Wind Shell gusty ridge traverses and emergencies. The pack portion of the Distance includes a quick Blitz-style main opening with a stash pocket to tuck away essentials, while a mesh divider wall can store cordelette or a water bladder that can integrate with the pack’s hose routing. On the pack’s exterior, the Distance 15 includes dual piolet/ice axe holsters, and dual Z-Pole quiver sleeves to stash your trekking poles when the terrain changes. Dual front stretch pockets are an extra place to stash nutrition or gear, making the Distance 15 an ultra-versatile pack for moving light and fast in the mountains.

Switchback Travel

Traditional daypacks like the Talon and Stratos above are great for moderate day hikes, but Black Diamond’s running-inspired Distance 15 is purpose-built for mountain athletes focused on traveling fast and light. The hybrid pack/vest design checks in at a scant 13.9 ounces but easily accommodates a day’s worth of supplies (it can even fit a streamlined climbing helmet). The storage layout is another highlight: The four zippered chest pockets, trekking pole sleeves, ice axe holders, side compression straps, and dual front stretch pockets allow you to conveniently access the essentials without removing the pack. Along with the body-hugging shape, the Distance makes it easy to move quickly and efficiently over rougher, varied terrain.

To be clear, however, the Black Diamond Distance isn’t for everyone. The pack is reasonably durable with a mix of 100- and 200-denier fabrics, but you'll need to be careful around sharp rock and equipment and avoid overpacking (we had a shoulder strap detach almost entirely after adding too much weight). We’ve also found it rides a bit low on our back and can feel heavy at the end of a long day, and the lack of hipbelt only exacerbates the issue. The Distance does come in a nice range of sizes from extra small to large, and the straps allow you to adjust the fit at the sides and front, but we still recommend trying it on before buying (the unisex sizing might be problematic for some women). But if you can get a good fit, the Distance is a light but thoughtfully built option for activities like scrambling, ridge traverses, and long days in the mountains.See the Black Diamond Distance 15

Black Diamond’s Distance series entered the mountain running world with a bang, covering everything from ultralight shelters to wind jackets, trekking poles, and more. The Distance 15 is their popular running pack, which brings alpine-ready features to a lightweight vest design. Along with a nice array of front pockets and a close fit that rides high on the torso, you get burly fabrics and technical extras like ice tool attachments, trekking pole stash pockets, and a cavernous rear compartment that can even accommodate a minimalist climbing helmet. True to its intentions, the Distance is a capable companion across a wide variety of terrain: we purchased it for an FKT (fastest known time) attempt of a technical mountain traverse and have ended up using it four summers in a row, on everything from a 50-mile trail run to a two-day ridge scramble in the Sierra.

That said, we don’t recommend the Black Diamond Distance as a dedicated running vest. In short, many other models here (like the 12L versions of the ADV Skin above and Nathan Pinnacle below) offer similar capacity in lighter, more form-fitting packages. Further, keep in mind that the Distance 15 does not come with included hydration, and it’s already one of the pricier vests here at $150. And sans shirt, we’ve found that it does chafe a bit more on our middle back than the ADV Skin due to the slight bit of added bounce. But for a durable, versatile mountain pack that can pull double duty as a running vest, the Black Diamond Distance stands head and shoulders above the competition.  See the Black Diamond Distance 15

But you can do this by making sure whatever vest or pack you get has certain features that you want: large dedicated phone pockets, some "extra" capacity at a minimal weight gain, etc. I used a Black Diamond Distance 15 vest when I was run commuting, and also for most of my long runs because the compression works well at closing up the pack if I'm using only a bladder in the back.

Wondering if anyone has advice for running pack. I’ve got an Orange Mud small pack for my basic runs, up to marathon distance, and love it. Good pockets, no chafing, holds front bottles and rear reservoir. But the storage sack part is tiny (on purpose) and there are days I want to run commute 6 miles to and 6 miles back. I basically need to take a change of clothes and maybe shoes. Not a ton, but enough to make the current pack insufficient. I’d also like to use this on future ultras, maybe 50k or 50m races as I build up to them over next few years. 

I’ve initially looked at some Salomon, orange mud, and Nathan packs. Not sure how much storage to get, or how to tell if the main sock is enough. 5L sizing? 8L?

Thoughts?

Running pack for run-commute

 I'm a 39 to 40 size chest and pretty much I always wear medium and these straps got flex which is important. I love it when you have stretchy straps for breathing sake. I feel like it really helps you expand. This one's not stretchy, but it's stretchy there

 Additionally, there is a place for a bladder if you're a bladder fan. And then there's also a tiny little zipper compartment for keys, cash, passports, whatever. This is a medium and it fits. Really fits me really well

 I love stretchy pockets. Uh, because I just like to cram things into pockets. This uh, that has two zipper pockets right here. uh, maybe upper chest area near the shoulders and these are great for gels and I actually put my phone in this one

Black Diamond Distance 15 // One of the Best Mountain Bags

 But when I took the pack deep into the journey, the little issues really became significant. Some minor fixes could send this pack into the next level of performance, akin to a UD Fastpack but more nimble and minimal. The size, at 15L, is PERFECT for a multi-day unsupported run (20L is too baggy). But the poorly designed details, as I said, start causing problems when things get more serious

in theory, the perfect pack...

 vapor barrier which reduces moisture. For most of my experiences with the pack, I Have had no trouble with my back getting too hot or sweaty, so I really enjoyed this feature. Let's get into the main compartment of the pack. The opening is super simple and so far has not come undone unexpectedly while wearing this back

 Let's get into the main compartment of the pack. The opening is super simple and so far has not come undone unexpectedly while wearing this back. All it is is a little hook that you clip into this loop and the whole strap can be tightened by pulling this elastic cinch after opening that. it's just normal drawstring closure which can be easily opened by pulling this loop

Black Diamond Distance 15 Pack Review

I'm 5'6 and 135 with not much of a chest. I got the XS and it's perfect! Room to cinch or uncinch. I have a competitors womens vest and had the trail vest/pack they do. The issues I had with the trail vest were solved by this bag completely (and by my dog chewing the zip so I had to replace it)and I feel like the fit is more comfortable than the race vest!

Perfect

It feels like I am running in a super comfy vest, not a backpack loaded with extra layers 

Great running pack.

 Great deals and trail knowledge we're the gear specialists at backcountry, edge, awesome gear, amazing service, see you on the trail. You 

This is the Deuter trail 30 backpack Deuter, designed this light, durable pack for Alpine climbers hikers and others who play at high altitude. That attention to detail means that you get bungees for poles loops for carabiners, a custom-fit rain cover and a lid that doesn't bump you in the back of the head. The pack employs the air contact system, which uses a flexible but strong u-shaped frame. To give the pack support the ventilation channel in the centre allows air to move through helping you stay cool and dry

Deuter Trail 30 Day Pack

  Only four stars due to fit, otherwise would have been five stars.  Now searching for a larger torso pack..

Not for guys 6’4 or taller

 if you need them in tight or if you need them out wide, the pack strap pack straps automatically accommodate whatever your body shape is, again just adding more and more comfort. Uh, let's see the sternum strap Nice and easy, adjustable on the piping on the slider. Adjustable shoulder straps for length so that you can get the hip belt exactly where you want it on your body. The hip belt itself is nice and wide, so again, when you're making that wrap around your hips, there's a, you know, more surface area, more contact that's going to help carry the weight that's inside your pack and also keep things really comfortable on your hips

 Just right for me. Worked out great I Was happy that I had the opportunity to carry it. Deuter has a pack brand may not be as well known as some others, but honestly Deuter is a wonderful option. You should seek him out

 a nice little little side pocket, and even a couple of little stash Pockets here that, uh, you know, maybe a gel I don't know. Another another stash spot, you know yesterday's hike was just awesome. Enjoy your Trail 30. I Can say the same

 Super comfortable. Um, a nice touch. Nice added feature. and I'm seeing a zipper pull here

MURRAY'S REVIEWS: The Deuter 30 Trail Day Pack, a HIKE ROCKY excusive

 See what looks like? they will do that too. That's cool that stuff back into there. You've got a one strap to lock the top down here and you've got some extra space on the front here to store some things. and you can also store some things

 And you've also got your slot of course for your camel back in here like that. So there you have it all my stuff that was in there so So pack holds quite a bit. Everything you need for sweet long day hike. and if you have to have or come into some inclement weather it's already geared like that

 You've got a one strap to lock the top down here and you've got some extra space on the front here to store some things. and you can also store some things. Well, that's the side side entrance there so that's kind of windy and you've got that on one side. What you also have is the ability to just open the entire pack from the top like that, so that's kind of handy

Deuter Trail 30 Backpack Review

 Comfortable, stylish, well made and great logistics i.e. pockets etc. Very adjustable with simple well made straps

My name is Ryan and this is the Deuter Trail 30 Backpack. Are you looking for a backpack to take care of all your day hike needs? Well, I think this is the one that you should consider. I primarily purchased this backpack last summer about six months ago to Summit 14ers in Colorado and I wanted a backpack that could carry all the gear that I needed but still feel light on my back and do whatever I needed to do. and I found that this Deuter backpack has really fit the bill
