Black Diamond Boost Review
Street Price: Varies from $105 - $160 | Compare prices at 6 resellers
Pros: Innovative design features like measurement marks on the highly adjustable, ergonomical shoulder straps and stretchy exterior pockets.
Cons: The ergoACTIV suspension is not covered with padding and therefore the spine painfully rubs on it when bending down under obstacles.
Best Uses: gym/school/light hiking stylish daypack

Overview
The simplicity of a top loading mountain backpack with freedom of movement is what Black Diamond says about the Black Diamond Boost. The ergoACTIV suspension is a cool idea - it is a shock absorber as well as a quick, custom-fit size adapter. The waist belt is attached to the pack with an apparatus that allows for vertical sliding/shifting, making for a quick fit as well as a smooth carry. We only found one obvious (but major) flaw with the design. If that major flaw (see Dislikes below) is fixed on future models this could become a cool feature of almost all backpacks. Until it is fixed you should read the rest of this review to find out exactly how and why it failed and why we think it may not be better than a traditionally designed pack. The other parts of the pack are all well put together and made from the best quality materials with some very innovative features. So it may come down to personal preference.
Compared to the other, very similar Black Diamond Axiom 30 I would choose the Axiom 30 because it has a normal, well padded back and no ergoACTIV suspension that can be a literal pain the back when you have to bend down. Or I would try another pack from another company since the Axiom 30 has its own flaw. View all other technical backpack reviews to see how this product compared to the others.

The entire pack is nicely made with innovative features and good materials. Often the innovations are so new that they are not tested enough (see Dislikes below) but they are heading in the right direction for the most part. For instance, the cool shoulder strap measurement marks allow you to quickly check that your shoulder straps are even. The easily, highly adjustable waist and shoulder straps make this a great multi-season/multi-use pack. The straps also have elastic at the stress points to act as shock absorbers. The handy pocket on the waist belt is good for keys and/or cell phone. (It could have a matching one on the opposite side, but whatever). Very useful side and back stretchy pockets allow for quick access to water bottles, extra layers or guidebooks - and it has a good looking, stylish, modern design.
Dislikes
The first of the dislikes was simply a matter of body size. The elastic on the horizontal shoulder strap connecting the chest strap is on the wrong side. If the chest strap was on the side with the buckle then it could tighten a little tighter. This is not an issue if you have an average size chest, but if you are skinny then it might not tighten enough. The major dislike is the ergoACTIV suspension. This pack would actually be a contender for one of the best packs were it not for the suspension. Upon first look at the big metal/plastic gizmo barely covered with padding in the middle of the back of the pack I thought, "wtf!?" But I figured they had tested it.
Well, they must have forgotten a crucial part of the test. Maybe they don't have a lot of bushes in Utah but in Northern California we do. In fact it's hard to find a trail that doesn't have a bush or fallen tree (or several) across it from time to time. When I bent down to get under a tree, bush or other obstacle then the suspension piece in the center of my back was exactly where my center vertebrae was located. The vertebrae hit the suspension piece three out of four times I tested it. And it hurt. This is a MAJOR FAILURE as far as I am concerned. I would not buy this pack or recommend it.
That said, in the tests that Chris McNamara did with the pack he didn't have to duck under fallen trees or bushes and so he never came across this issue. So it comes down to preference. Try it out in your local shop.
Value
If you don't ever hike on overgrown trails then this could be a good value, given that the rest of the pack is innovative and well made of quality materials.
Best Application
A stylish daypack for the gym, school or for light hiking or walking.
这个牌子真的这么冷门么。。。。。
牌子冷门，贴子也冷门了，顶一下这个门……
35L左右的包，，，性价比还是比较高的~~~~~BD的东西，估计也差不到哪里去！毕竟是专业的品牌。
BD的東西都很專業,都是玩極限使用的
因此質量上是很放心的,包應該是他們家起步不久的東西,待驗證.
BD家的包貌似更偏向于攀登类的吧？

BD的偏向于技术型的方向多
这包，不算BD的攀登包。说是技术包，说白了是短途地形复杂的徒步线路。

这包就是没有专门的睡袋仓开口比较郁闷一点。明天火风，带上试试。谢谢各位～
睡袋仓不流行了，多个拉链和分割，没太大意义。露营时没必要先掏睡袋，后掏帐篷。
今天台风哦，
本来以为要取消，不过一咬牙还是去了。包包的背负确实是非常给力的，怎么蹦跶腰带基本都不移位。肩带的透气也不错。因为下雨穿上了雨衣，本来像这种情况，如果是我原来的包，下来肩部位置肯定全是汗了。这次居然没有，有点意外的说。也是因为穿了雨衣之后，包包背板透气功能测试不出来，总之就是好诗了。
恩，说不足的话。这个包包没有单独的内袋，头包也只是单个在外面开，里面没有做双层包，分类装东西就比较不方便了。而且自重明显偏高，自己空载称了有1414g，以短途包来说，确实是有点过分了。
学习了
我也不太懂这个，过来瞧瞧，学习下。
没听过这个牌子的，我都是用杂牌的
BD 的这个包应该是贴牌的。
