Reliable, functional companion for hikes and trail tours
Exped says:
The Skyline 45 is a versatile and spacious companion with roll-top closure and lid pocket. It is ideal for longer hikes or long-distance treks.
The ergonomically shaped Air Flow back system is flexible and adapts to your back, whatever the situation. The adjustable back length, padded hip belt, and internal light metal frame ensure optimum load transfer to your back and hips. The soft, airy shoulder straps, slim shape, and close-to-body fit provide additional carrying comfort. The lid pocket can be easily removed and used as a belt bag or left at home.
The zipper opening runs all the way down one side, providing quick side access to the main compartment. With the Skyline, you also have the option of integrating a hydration system; the compartment is accessible from the outside.
Practical mesh and zippered pockets on the inside and on the shoulder straps make it easy to organize smaller items of equipment. On the outside, one large front and two side mesh pockets made of elastic fabric offer additional storage space for a water bottle or wet clothes. Attachment options for your hiking poles offer further convenience. In wet conditions, an integrated rain cover with a reflective logo offers effective protection and visibility.
The bluesign® approved fabric is made from robust recycled polyester.
