Climbing Kili is an amazing experience and our friends Gina and Warren had a great time on their recent trip to the top of Africa. Pole-pole (slowly-slowly in Swahili)!
The Explore is available in women's and men's models in 60 and 75 liter sizes. It hauls gear like an expedition pack with a stout suspension system and organizes amazingly well.
Every once in a while it's important for the Exped team to get together in the same room. Skype is cool, but nothing can substitute for face-to-face discussion.
"The Traverse 40 has what Exped calls a Switchback frame, that lets you curve the frame of the backpack on demand in order to increase the amount of ventilation between the pack and your back.
