Do you have a backpack that has been with you for years and has become your best adventure buddy? EXPED customer Julie certainly does. She has put the story of her Torrent into words from the backpack's point of view.

Launched back in 2016, the Serac is one of the EXPED classics. The versatile alpine backpack has now been given an update and is available in new colors and improved features. The Serac is our lightweight, minimalist, weatherproof alpine backpack, ideal for mountain tours. 

Patrick from bergwelt.me has thoroughly tested the Lightning 45. His verdict: "When it comes to striking that ideal balance between weight, functionality, and comfort, the Lightning 45 truly shines."

Steve Larese from GearJunkie tested the EXPED Summit Hike 25. His conclusion: "A Fully Featured Daypack That Won’t Break Your Bank."

If you've purchased an Icefall since December 2022, it may have a production defect. It has been found that the backpacks from the production series with LOT number 2270 have a webbing discoloration issue.

With the robust and versatile Icefall, we are launching a new alpine touring backpack just in time for the start of winter. In all four seasons, this pack is a reliable companion for mountain professionals.

If you've purchased a Lightning since August 2022, it may have a production defect. It has been found that the backpacks from the production series with LOT number 2210 have an irregularly sewn seam.

At the beginning of spring, our new touring backpack Couloir has also made it into the stores. The long weekend certainly offers a great opportunity to test the new alpine companion.
