Black Diamond Distance 15 vs Osprey Rook 65 Pack - Men's

But you can do this by making sure whatever vest or pack you get has certain features that you want: large dedicated phone pockets, some "extra" capacity at a minimal weight gain, etc. I used a Black Diamond Distance 15 vest when I was run commuting, and also for most of my long runs because the compression works well at closing up the pack if I'm using only a bladder in the back.

I have to say the fanny pack on this really help my back to support more weight on the journey. The delivery on this bag was on time and nothing went wrong. Moosejaw did go above and beyond on the packaging though.

I'm a 39 to 40 size chest and pretty much I always wear medium and these straps got flex which is important. I love it when you have stretchy straps f...

It's a fairly simple affair held in place by these webbing buckles, webbing straps, and buckles. Sorry, so if you don't want it there, if you just wan...

But when I took the pack deep into the journey, the little issues really became significant. Some minor fixes could send this pack into the next level of performance, akin to a UD Fastpack but more nimble and minimal. The size, at 15L, is PERFECT for a multi-day unsupported run (20L is too baggy). But the poorly designed details, as I said, start causing problems when things get more serious

there are no division in the main pocket besides the sleeping bag one so it's hard to stay compartmentalized I ended up have to just pull everything out every time I needed something. Now I know what all the expert hikers will say, "just bag and tag everything and don't take more then you need" and yes that should be true regardless but my old no name highing bag was a fantastic tri-zip with a good layout. maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but this isn't the bag I'm looking for when it comes to backpacking and camping

I'm 5'6 and 135 with not much of a chest. I got the XS and it's perfect! Room to cinch or uncinch. I have a competitors womens vest and had the trail vest/pack they do. The issues I had with the trail vest were solved by this bag completely (and by my dog chewing the zip so I had to replace it)and I feel like the fit is more comfortable than the race vest!

So that's really not much of a difference there. and between the dimensions of the two, they're actually the same lengthwise, the same width, and betw...

It feels like I am running in a super comfy vest, not a backpack loaded with extra layers

Dual upper and lower side compression straps, dual upper and lower side compression straps stabilize loads and maintain a streamlined profile. And so ...
