Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.

Very versitile- use running, quick ski tours, commutes, etc. Only drawback is the pockets in front are a bit small for most 500ml soft flasks.

so far so goodGot this for longer days xc skiing after using "normal" backpacks, and this is about as good as it will get in my opinion. Perfect size to fit a big nalgene, windbreaker, puffy jacket, extra gloves, hat, all the creature comforts. I got the large size, i am 6' 185 and kinda bulky, and the adjustments made it quick and easy to dial in the fit with my usual xc skiing clothes on. Love the stretchy mesh pockets but the best part is the mesh and "perforated" backplate that helps reduce the sweatiness of xc skiing with a pack on.
I am not a long-distance mountain peak bagger by any means, but for xc skiing this has been a solid purchase and i am very happy with it. Seems well made and black diamond is a solid company. Looking forward to the rest of winter to keep using this thing after a long search for the perfect extended day xc ski pack.

Need a woman specific modelMyself and several other lady friends used the 15L to run the TMB last summer hut to hut over 8 days. We found when loaded the backpack just didn't sit right. No matter how we adjusted the cords the sides gapped oddly. For myself, a DD the front didn't fit as well as I'd have liked either. I've used and loved the 8L but when fully loaded the 15L just didn't hang well on a woman's body despite getting the correct "size" per the charts. When compared to other friends who had other brands, they had much more comfortable fits. We did however love the side pockets for the poles (or baguettes).

Solid PackI’ve taken this pack on a couple of adventures and love it so far! I have a 12L running vest, but this 15L pack holds significantly more! Stays in place while running. Seems pretty durable so far. Easy to attach ice ax to pack.

almost perfectBD Distance 15 almost there. The BD Distance 15 works well for my daypack use purpose. It addressed several of the issues I had with my Ultimate Direction FastPack 20, but also presented a couple of different issues. The pack feels like it disappears. The construction seems well made thus far. Vest is comfortable. Since the sides are bungee cord, I would prefer non-elasticized sternum straps since the side bungees allow for plenty of movement when breathing. The top of the side flaps rolled in, and no matter how I adjusted the side bungee tension and sternum straps, the bungee pulled down to roll the top part in. I didn't feel it digging into my side, but I kept fidgiting with it once I knew it was rolling in and it became annoying. The sternum straps could have been slighly wider. I like that the inner accessories pocket is elasticized because it can accommodate quite a lot of stuff. The water bladder pocket barely holds 3L. The toggle holder is rather useless and would have been better with a clip. The toggle doesn't hold up say a Hydrapak, unless you use a hook to hook into the loop of the toggle. I like the pole sleeves, but they aren't accessible when the pack is on, so you have to take off the pack in order to store and retrieve your poles. The side cords are static, so you don't have the convenience of elastic to say stash a jacket under the cords. BD could have added a mesh sleeve on the back and maintaining light weight but giving ability to stash a jacket quickly. The top flap is puzzling. It is good to cover the opening when cinched, but it is flappy, partly due to the fact that the strap clips into a large loop rather than having sew down points like on the vest straps for the sternum straps. The pull strap is also elastic and Y configuration which makes it difficult to quickly tighten and you are constantly battling with elastic, which will invariably lead to earlier failure than necessary. For the life I me, I was thinking there was a separate stash pocket for the deploy pocket, since BD's description makes it seem like it is. However, after watching a marketing video, I finally realized you just use one of the zipper pockets as the "deploy" pocket. The softflask pockets design for BD branded hydrapak softflask would be useful if BD had any in stock. I just use hydrapak softflask wmx. It takes effort to remove and insert the softflask, especially when the other pockets are full. The lower pocket position makes it rather awkward to try and drink unless you are using straws. I love the fact the zippered pockets are roomy and stretchy. The back doesn't breathe as well since it is a vest and there is no real gap for air flow. The mesh does dry quickly. If I could pick the best parts about the Ultimate Direction Fastpack 20 and marry them with the BD Distance 15 to produce a love child ultimate pack, I would. So, until that happens or someone makes a pack like that, I'll settle for my BD Distance 15.

Great Fit and Functionality, but Not DurableThis pack fits great and has functional storage. I've taken many packs through the Tetons and never have acquired tears in them. I took my first BD Distance 15 pack for a summit in the Tetons and discovered a hole afterwards. I bought another pack hoping it was just a product defect. I took the next BD Distance 15 pack out for another summit in the Tetons and the same problem happened! Pretty disappointed with its durability because it feels like it’d be able to endure abrasions and that's what it's marketed for. The BD water bottles are difficult to find, so the Camelbak 17oz quick stow flasks are pretty similar to them and work well.

The ultimate peak bagging bagPerfect for fast, light, and safe peak bagging. Im 5'8"/155 and medium fit me perfect right out of the box. Pocket layout is intuitive and you can easily tell BD put a lot of thought intk the small details on this bag. Its a crusher.
Sad to say that one of the stitched loops on the sternum straps busted. Will be an easy fix but oh well
What is the largest size hydration reservoir that would be appropriate for this pack?
Asked by: A Dog
I fit my Osprey 3 liter. The listed hydration size of under 50oz is for the front pockets that hold up to two 500ml soft flasks.

Could you tell me if it's suitable for thin girls' backs?
Asked by: bird
Hey bird, thanks for the question! This pack is not gender specific, this small available is appropriate for torsos ranging from 26.8-33.5". Unfortunately, you can't really shorten the length of the shoulder straps though. I'll make sure we get that corrected as soon as possible, I hope this helps!
