I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Black Diamond Distance 15L Backpack

The Black Diamond Distance 15L Backpack is a perfect choice for those looking for a lightweight and versatile pack for their mountain adventures. Designed with the needs of fast and light missions in mind, this hybrid pack combines the functionality of an alpine-worthy daypack with the comfort of shoulder straps similar to those found on running vests.

One of the standout features of this backpack is the innovative shoulder harness, which utilizes Black Diamond's stitch-less Edge Taping Technology. This not only ensures a chafe-free experience but also adds to the overall durability of the pack. Additionally, the ventilating back panel keeps your back cool and comfortable, while also keeping the load close to your body for optimal scrambling and running on technical ridgelines.

When it comes to storage, the Black Diamond Distance 15L Backpack doesn't disappoint. External gear attachments and easily accessible stretch pockets provide ample space to carry your ice tools, trekking poles, devices, and snacks, keeping them within easy reach at all times.
