Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A capable, well-fitting daypack that keeps pace with you across long days and varied terrain.

Black Diamond says: 

A technical daypack with an innovative fit system, the Trail Vista 28L strikes the ideal balance of functionality and weight, making it perfect for efficient day hikers and those who want to cover ground. Built with Slide-Fit adjustment technology, it’s easy to fine-tune the fit to suit your size. The pack’s lightweight internal frame distributes loads evenly, adding comfort
while carrying your gear. A ventilated EVA back panel provides support and air flow while a continuous hip pad with soft mesh backing provides a comfortable carry. Shoulder strap pocket, hip belt pockets and z-pole carry keep essentials in easy reach while stretch pockets and piolet carry provide additional carry solutions. The stow away rain cover can be quickly deployed in the event of a squall.

Our Verdict

The Trail Vista 28 offers a solid blend of structure and flexibility, ideal for longer day hikes where you might be carrying a bit more gear. Weighing around 922g in the S/M size, it remains manageable without compromising durability. The new Slide-Fit adjustment system makes it easy to fit to your torso length, and I noticed the difference immediately when dialling in the comfort on steeper climbs.

The ventilated EVA back panel and the continuous hip pad provide good airflow and support, keeping the pack feeling stable but not restrictive. Storage is generous and well-organised, with hip belt and shoulder strap pockets for essentials, stretchy water bottle sleeves, and a decent-sized front stash pocket. The integrated rain cover is a nice addition, and the on-the-go pole attachments make transitions smooth without needing to take the pack off.
