Black Diamond Men's Distance 8 Backpack 2026

The technical pack that changed everything; the Distance 8L features an innovative vest-style harness paired with just enough storage and is built for fast-paced missions that take you up, over, and through the mountains.

The Distance 8L is engineered to carry everything you need for a day in the hills.

Its unique harness system moves with you with stretch mesh “wings” that extend from the back panel along the sides to provide a secure and chafe-free fit. The Distance 8 features smooth edge binding and soft, breathable custom engineered diamond mesh for next-to-skin comfort. Easy to use Z-Pole storage allows you to deploy your poles on the move, while dual side compression allows you to modify carry capacity as you go. Finally, soft flask holsters keep your soft flasks in place, and front pockets provide secure storage. The Distance 8L has an internal zip pocket, side stretch stash pockets, and a single zip pocket on the shoulder strap.
