Black Diamond Women's Pursuit 15 Backpack

This pack is an absolute game-changer! Took it for a National Park trek and the waist support is straight-up legendary. It felt so weightless, I honestly forgot I was even carrying it. Pure hiking bliss!

fits well, is lightweight, lots of storage options, including exterior crisscross straps. I have not tried yet, but I think I can even put a soft flask into one of the front straps. The top zipper is clearly designed to keep out dust and moisture. hopefully it will stand the test of hiking, running and use!

This pack is very well built, and has lots of pockets for storage. The harness is reminiscent of a running pack and hugs the body well.

love the size and quality of this bag! Cannot wait to take it out with me on my ski tours!

I love this pack for lightweight missions - the shoulder straps are perfect and don't rub in the arm pits like other similar kinds. Surprisingly spacious for a long day hike and compact enough for a trail run.

Great pack. Very comfortable to wear all day and not notice.

This pack is comfortable and fits a surprising amount. I used it on a recent trip where I brought a warm layer, raing layer, small stove and snacks. I love the separate water bottle sleeve. My only complaint is that the shoulder pockets are small compared to the Distance series and thus don't fit a phone well or soft flasks. Not a huge deal as I could put these in the ample side pockets and carry snacks in the front.

I’ve only used the pack once, but so far it seems great. The pack carries weight very comfortably and sits well on my torso. After using running packs for daypacks for a while, I can’t stand how hiking packs don’t have pockets on the shoulder straps. It’s great to have a larger capacity bag with a good hip belt that also has pockets on the straps. The strap pockets are a bit narrower than my BD running packs, not sure if this is due to those being men’s/unisex packs or just a different design on this pack. I can just fit my iPhone 11 in the strap pocket, but might not be able to if I had a bulkier case. On my running packs I carry bear spray in the shoulder strap pockets, but the strap pockets on the Pursuit 15 don’t work as well for that (but bear spray can easily go in the side stretch pockets). My biggest complaint about the pack is the lack of hydration tube routing. There is one elastic loop on the shoulder straps to run the tube through, but it’s high-ish up and the tube hangs sort of awkwardly with no other loops or clips to secure it with. But, overall this still seems like a great, comfy pack!
