Exped Skyline 45

Our Review – Exped Skyline 45:

The Exped Skyline 45 is an innovative, modular backpack for multi-day tours and long-distance hikes with a great back system for all day support and comfort.

The Skyline 45 is a versatile and spacious companion with a roll-top closure and lid pocket. It is ideal for longer hikes or long-distance treks.

The ergonomically shaped Air Flow back system sits comfortably on your back. The adjustable back length, the padded hip straps and the internal lightweight steel frame ensure ideal load transfer to the back and hips. The soft, breathable shoulder straps, slim shape and close fit provide additional comfort. The bluesign® certified outer material is made of robust recycled polyester.

The lid pocket can be easily removed and used as a belt pouch or left at home. The convenient large zipper opening runs from one side to far down the other side and thus offers optimal and quick access to the main compartment. The Skyline offers the option of integrating a hydration system where access to the compartment is accessible from the outside – no need to open the main compartment. Thanks to cleverly positioned side mesh pockets water bottles or rain jackets can also be accessed without taking off the backpack. More internal and external pockets help further organize the pack.

On the outside, a small zipper pocket and two side stretch mesh pockets provide additional storage space. Should you store a wet rain jacket, it can be stowed in the elastic and air-permeable front pocket. In addition, the backpack has practical attachment options for your helmet and hiking poles. In wet conditions, an integrated rain cover with a reflective logo will offer an effective water barrier.
