Black Diamond Distance 22
Black Diamond's largest running pack, the Distance 22 was redesigned in January 2026 with the brand's SETT taped construction. It has a vest-style harness sized by chest circumference and weighs 400 g at the page spec. It works as a fastpack for long mountain days rather than a load-carrying hiking pack.
