Heritage that began with a backyard anvil and hammer
In 1989 Choiunard became Black Diamond after an employee buy out and soon moved to their now famous head quarters in Salt Lake City, Utah to be better placed for the climbing and skiing.
Today Black Diamond are a global brand with bases in Europe and Asia as well as the USA and are still at the leading edge of designing and developing the worlds best outdoor hardware. This is because at their heart they are still run by people committed to the outdoors and their sports.

Black Diamond Distance 22
The Black Diamond Distance 22 pack is a day pack designed for fast moving mountain activities. The Distance 22 is a hybrid between a small climbing summit or day pack and a running vest. If you are planning on moving fast and light in the mountains and on technical terrain & scrambles this is the pack for you. The vest style carry system prevents pack bounce when running. The main 22L compartment is on the large side for a running pack but will carry everything you need for a day out. At just 412g the Distance 22 is also small and light enough to be rolled up and carried in a larger pack for summit pushes or multi pitch routes.
The running vest style shoulder straps are constructed from a totally breathable mesh and stitch-less edge taping for comfort. There are two flask pockets designed for soft flasks as well as two zippered chest pockets. There the straps meet the side of the pack there is and adjustable elastic cord system to ensure a secure fit while running. There is also a large stretch mesh pocket on the back that's ideal for dumping wet waterproofs or maps.
