Distance Flask 500 ml

Ultimate Hydration

Black Diamond’s soft flasks are the hydration setup you want when you’re deep into Colorado’s high country. After knocking out 43 of the state’s 58 14,000‑foot peaks, the difference between “good enough” gear and actually dialed gear becomes painfully obvious — and these flasks land squarely in the latter category. They slide into the Distance 22L’s front pockets like they were engineered for your exact stride. No sloshing, no awkward bounce, no wrestling the flask back into place while you’re gasping up a ridge. The soft‑body design collapses as you drink, which keeps weight tight to your chest and eliminates that annoying pendulum effect you get with hard bottles.

Better than a bladder

I love water flasks that are accessible from the front of a pack. Easy to monitor and have different flavors.
