Product Highlights

The sleek and compact Black Diamond Pulse Women's daypack is equipped with an innovative suspension system. Gender-specific design features make the Pulse Women's pack ideal for female hikers engaged in fast-moving, active pursuits.

Combining multiple design technologies, the lightweight, innovative Black Diamond reACTIV suspension system provides a full range of motion while ensuring stable load support. A contoured 6061 aluminum frame maintains stability while transferring weight to the reACTIV hipbelt. This ultra-flexible hipbelt employs a floating pass-through design intended to mimic the movement of your body without compromising load stability. Reflecting Black Diamond's commitment to gender-specific fit, the hipbelt of the Pulse Women's pack is more canted than those found on men's packs. Further enhancing performance, innovative women's specific shoulder straps are connected via an integrated low-friction cable that allows them to mirror your every move while maintaining a balanced load. A sliding sternum strap and load-lifter straps also help to improve fit. An OpenAir backpanel and soft, breathable mesh fabrics on the shoulder straps and hipbelt promote breathability while cushioning the Pulse Women's pack against your back.

The Pulse Women's pack is available in S (torso fit range of 15.5"-18.5") and M (17.5"-20.5") size variations. The storage capacity of the S is 1220 cubic inches and the M provides 1340 cubic inches of capacity. The front-loading packbag is accessed through a horseshoe-shaped zipper that offers wide-open access to the interior. A large elasticized front pocket is perfect for stashing gear and doubles as a compression system that aids in load stabilization. Stretch side pockets provide additional storage space and a small pocket on the hipbelt is perfect for keeping valuables within easy reach. The Pulse Women's pack has integrated trekking pole/ice axe loops and a lined internal sleeve and drinking tube exit ports make the pack hydration system (not included) compatible.

The Black Diamond Pulse Women's daypack is available in your choice of size and color.

    Likes: The backpack is nice looking. It's very light and stays close to your body. Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

    Dislikes: can't think of any yet

    Likes: I have used this pack for both day hiking and travel. This pack is really well made. All seams are holding strong. The angle of the side packets is just right for reaching back to grab stuff, The front compression straps on each side work well to keep the load in place. The shoulder and sternum straps are very comfortable and have excellent adjustability. I have the gray color--it is very good looking.

    Dislikes: I would give this 5 stars if the pack came with top compression straps near the shoulders to keep the pack load closer against my upper back. I actually sewed on pull-straps myself--one near the top of each shoulder, and it is now perfect! With this straps it is by far the best day pack I have ever owned.

    Likes: I purchased the pack for my wife who tried it on liked it immediately. She's been quite selective with the "feel" of each pack tested and found this one unusually comfortable as dually noted by backpacker magazine; not to mention aesthetically attractive (daiquiri), with the sleek simplicity of a Google design and equally friendly. These qualities are attributable, in part, to Black Diamond’s reactive shoulder strap construction which sets itself apart from other premium packs. I carry BD’s Octane and feel as though I am carrying 2/3 of the weight compared to some other name brand packs due to the load carrying system. My wife dearly loves the pack for the above characteristics.

    Dislikes: It's so pretty you may not want to go outside and get it dirty.
