Black Diamond Distance 6 Hydration Vest - Black, Size L

Most running vests force a choice between carrying capacity and freedom of movement, but the Distance 6 Hydration Vest refuses that compromise. Its stretch-mesh harness and Dynex ripstop fabric wrap the torso so tightly that the pack becomes part of your body, not a load bouncing on your back. With six liters of total volume, a dedicated hydration sleeve, and two included soft flasks, it keeps water, poles, and essentials ready without slowing you down on technical terrain.

Highlights

• 6-liter total capacity with dedicated hydration sleeve for up to 2L bladder (not included)
• Includes two 500ml Black Diamond soft flasks for immediate hydration
• On-the-fly Z-Pole storage keeps trekking poles secure and reachable mid-stride
• Multiple stretch pockets plus a zippered security pocket for phone, keys, and nutrition
• Highly breathable mesh back panel and shoulder straps prevent overheating
• Reflective details for visibility during dawn or dusk runs
• Adjustable sternum straps and elastic cording deliver a dialed-in fit

In daily use

From long alpine traverses to quick after-work trail runs, this vest disappears on your back. The two included soft flasks sit low on the chest to minimize slosh, while the stretch pockets expand to swallow a wind shell, headlamp, or extra gels. When you need to stash poles, the on-the-fly system lets you deploy or stow them without breaking stride. The unisex design fits a wide range of body shapes, and the size Large accommodates chests from 90 to 105 cm.
