Reviewers praise how light and comfortable it is, the shoulder strap pocket layout and the side pole sleeves, using it for trail running, fastpacking, long day hikes, peak bagging and multi-pitch climbing, including a 10-day run across Iceland. Most say it fits well and does not bounce, though a couple found it snug or not very adjustable. Single critiques include sweat soaking into the back panel, seams and straps wearing out after about 1,000 miles, and a reservoir sleeve that gets tight with a full 1.5L bladder.

"I've wanted this backpack for so long and I wish I got it sooner. It's the perfect trail running and day hike pack. It's very comfortable and fits a lot more than you think. The various pockets in the front were also a bonus, with one big pocket that fits my phone and other pockets that fit all my snacks on the go. The trekking pole holder was also nice when it was time to send it."
"I like how this pack is light and comfortable. It carries well a bladder, snacks, a rain jacket and first aid kit. I was impressed by how comfortable and breathable the back panel is. The front pockets fit a bear spray and a flask perfectly. Side pouches for carrying poles work well, but I was hoping there would also be a Z pole strap system like on the distance 6 vest that would allow you to take the poles on and off while running. High vis yellow or orange colour would be nice."
"Absolutely love this bag. So dang light, fits enough for a big day on the mountain, comfy and light enough to trail run and feel like you have no backpack on. Have been using it a lot over the past month, absolutely 0 complaints."
"I use this pack for multi-hour/half day multi pitch rock climbing to keep water on my chest, shoes, snacks, and extra gear in the pack. You can strap a 70m rope on the back for the approach and walk off."
"Been looking for something more lightweight and breathable on big day hikes/runs. Its super stable on my back while being all of those things! Very happy 🙂"
"The BD distance 15 pack fits quite nicely and has well thought out features. I particularly like the capability to carry one collapsed pole along each side of the pack. However, I used an osprey 1. 5L water reservoir, and the dedicated reservoir pocket is slightly small when filled to capacity. In turn, the back padding has shifted, which creates bulk at the top of the pack which is perceptible at the top of my back/bottom of my neck. BD could solve this by stitching the foam padding in place behind the mesh back panel."
"Just upgraded from my pack of the same model. Amazing upgrades from past iterations, addressing small issues I had in the past with it (emphasis on small). Looking forward to having this pack for many years of alpine adventures."
"Great features, great fit and the perfect balance of cool features but not over the top and still, incredibly light."
"I bought this pack for my 10 day run across Iceland(215 miles) I needed to hold a lot more gear then I typically run with. It did great holding all gear: food, water, puffer, emergency kit, rain gear my Black diamond rain jacket was awesome as well! I went through all different conditions from 20-30 mile an hour winds with dust, rain and sleet and my pack kept my stuff clean and dry! I would recommend this pack on any long run/trek."
"Super light, water resistant, good pocket layout on the straps, love that it comes in several volumes for different load needs. Was very comfortable fast packing with two extra liters of water, tons of snacks, a Nanopuff, a Helinox Speed Stool (in a pole pocket) and a few other things with plenty of room to spare. I look forward to using it for quickly accessing backcountry streams; an 8-piece-9' rod fits in the pole pocket perfectly. I won't hesitate to purchase another if I need additional capacity. Tremendous value. Also, the white color way looks dope."
