What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “I grab the Pursuit 30 when the plan is multiple peaks and minimal downtime. The Continuous Fit Harness really does hug your torso—no bounce, no hot spots—and the side stretch pockets are lifesavers for on-the-move snacks. The compression system is super slick too; one pull and it tightens everything up. It’s light, organized, and surprisingly comfortable for big mileage.” We load up the Black Diamond Pursuit 30 Backpack when the day’s goal includes fast movement and as many summits as we can string together. With a harness inspired by BD’s Distance series, the Continuous Fit design wraps smoothly around our torso, eliminating pressure points and helping us stay steady as the pace quickens and terrain steepens. The breathable back panel keeps airflow moving on warm climbs and exposed ridgelines, letting us stay focused on the next objective. A smart pocket layout makes life on the move easier—stretch shoulder pockets for quick-access essentials, side pockets for snacks and layers, and a large front pocket for stashing gear between pushes. The one-pull compression system adapts instantly to changing loads, while external trekking pole storage keeps tools secure when we pick up the pace. Made from 100% recycled body fabrics and built for all-day comfort, the Pursuit 30 keeps us light, organized, and ready for peak after peak.
