Trail Vista 28 Backpack

Built for fast-moving hikers, alpine scramblers, and endurance trekkers tackling technical mountain routes, the Black Diamond Trail Vista 28 backpack balances running-vest functionality with internal-frame load support. Featuring a continuous corduroy-soft hip pad, a ventilated EVA back panel, and a water-repellent 100% recycled Robic Nylon shell, this pack thrives during long days on high-gradient trails. Quick-access storage—including shoulder strap hydration pockets and on-the-go Z-pole carries—ensures seamless transitions through unpredictable terrain, variable weather, and steep ridge ascents.
