Nitro 22L Backpack

The Black Diamond Nitro 22 Backpack has plenty of space for all the food and layers you need for long-distant day hikes. Its ReActiv suspension system includes shoulder straps and a waist belt that move with you while hiking. This system provides maximum efficiency, ensures a natural stride, balances load transfer, reduces knee stress, and eliminates sore spots and bruising.


Made with Black Diamond's OpenAir technology, the Nitro's back panel, waist belt, and shoulder straps circulate airflow to keep you cool in warmer weather. The zippered panel access opens wide for easy gear retrieval. Black Diamond also equipped the Nitro with an external access hydration sleeve for your own reservoir, attachment loops for trekking poles or ice axes, and multiple pockets at the front, sides, and waist belt for electronics, valuables, layers, and snacks for the trail.

Great all around

I bought this pack 5 years ago and it has held up incredibly well. I've taken it climbing and hiking in cold and warm temperatures and it has been great. The fabric is very resistant to abrasion which has been great for those climbing trips, and the swing-arm function is an absolute game-changer for hiking. External pockets and slings offer excellent packing versatility, I'm able to pack so much more into a simple 22L pack. The only negative thing with this pack is the internal wire frame has deformed and I haven't been able to fix it, and the back isn't as breathable as I'd like to. Two hip pockets would be great in the next version of the pack.

amazing pack wish I got

amazing pack wish I got the bigger pack. The pack fits the body and provides the support needed while hiking several miles. The structure and quality will have to wait until I actually take on more hikes

Amazing pack

I used this pack daily. It’s my second one in I don’t know how many years, first one is still going too, but gave to my son. I expect this pack to last just as long, very high quality, wry comfortable, I like the new waist belt,

Perfect day pack

I use this pack for climbing and it holds all of the essentials nicely. Little small to put a rope inside but I didn’t expect to fit it anyway. Comfort is solid and support is nice too.

Perfect day bag!

After having my old nitro bag for 10 years, I finally replaced it. This bag is absolutely perfect for day trips whether you’re hiking, skiing or just general everyday use (I even use it for biking). I recommend this bag to all my friends.

Sweet Pack

Small pack that carries the contents close against my back so no flopping around. Great pack for a small short day trip in reasonable conditions or as a day pack inside the ropes. I do wish I had held out for the larger version but this was my bad not BDs fault. Thanks

Frame is too long

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it

This backpack was everything I was looking for for a pack to carry my climbing gear (as a secondary bag) and a jacket- it has a zipper that goes all the way down which makes it less of a pain in the as to load and get things out of, outside water bottle pockets and is the perfect size to also act as a weekend bag for clothes and travel needs. It’s also got waist straps for heavier/longer hikes and getting across tyroleans without floppin around. BUT the frame is soooo long that if I have the hip belt buckled I can’t look up. This was designed for men and long women.

Day tripper

I have a ton of packs but this sees more use than any of them. I leave it stocked with headlamp, multi tool, matches, laces, para cord, hat, gloves, first aid kit and can be ready for any day trip by throwing in layers, shell, hydration bladder and food. Hip belt pocket is great for bars/blocks and I usually wind up carrying some else’s stuff in the outer pouch. Super versatile and comfortable. Great size.
