Distance 8L Backpack blends running-vest comfort with a women's-specific trail fit

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I love the Distance 8L for long trail days where I want to move light and fast without sacrificing fit. The harness is actually shaped for shorter torsos, so it hugs better and stays put. The stretch wings and flask storage make it perfect for both hikes and big runs."


When we need a lightweight pack that doesn’t compromise on comfort or stability, we reach for the Distance 8L Backpack. Built with long-distance movement in mind, it combines a running-vest-inspired harness system with a women’s-specific fit that’s dialed for shorter torsos and shaped shoulder straps. The result is a secure, bounce-free carry system that moves with us, not against us, whether we’re climbing ridgelines or chasing singletrack miles.


Custom-engineered mesh "wings" extend from the back panel for a chafe-free, body-hugging fit, while dual side compression lets us dial in the volume on the fly. The Z-Pole storage system is glove-friendly and quick to deploy, and the front pockets keep hydration and essentials close at hand. Made from durable, ultralight UHMWPE ripstop with stretch mesh pockets throughout, this pack is built to disappear on your back while carrying everything you need for big days in the hills.
