Read review →Better than Custom Quiver
- Custom Quiver vs Distance 15 is not a score swap. Distance 15 wins when better value and much lighter empty than most 15–20L running backpacks beat clean on-the-move pole stow for Salomon vest users. weight sits higher on Distance 15 (330 vs 45).
- Distance 15 advantage: much lighter empty than most 15–20L running backpacks
- Also stronger on: built-in Z-pole sleeves beat dangling race-vest pole loops on alpine terrain
What you give up
- You leave behind Custom Quiver's clean on-the-move pole stow for Salomon vest users
- Distance 15 downside: no bladder sleeve — reservoir-first ultras stay on Pinnacle / Zephyr / Fastpack
- Only switch if salomon-ecosystem focused — not a universal quiver for every vest is a real problem — otherwise better value is optional
Who should switch
Choose Distance 15 when trail training / ultra is the week and Custom Quiver is only winning on habit — not on better value.
Who should stay with Custom Quiver
Keep Custom Quiver if Soft-flask-style pole quiver add-on for Salomon race vests and trail packs — carry collap… is still the honest match and you would only use Distance 15's better value edge rarely.
Best for
- Light alpine pack volume with Z-pole sleeves as a weekly priority.
- Clear capacity step up from Distance 8 without jumping to a 22L pack.
