An exceedingly comfortable carry

Packs have come a long way in recent years. And we, for one, are thrilled to see that the days of burning shoulders and aching backs are long gone. Today, body-fit designs, sternum straps and oversized hip belts make for a more comfortable carry, all while reducing bulk and weight to allow us to move more freely. And now, with the Trail Vista series, Black Diamond has taken it another step further, turning their decades of experience in pack making into some of the most comfortable day packs ever made. This version, the Trail Vista 28, is the largest in the line, delivering 28 litres of exceedingly comfortable carry space, as well as a ton of extra features that will improve your experience out on the trails. These include huge external stretch dump pockets for water, waterproofs and anything else you need close at hand, two hip belt pockets and one shoulder-strap pocket for your most used items, 20 litres of glorious internal space, a functional 8-litre lid for versatile storage, and tie-out points for comfortably carrying hiking poles. But the best part? Black Diamond’s ‘Slide-Fit’ system lets you easily customise the pack to fit your own body — whatever beautiful shape it cuts.
