Product description for Exped LIGHTNING 60, Black Backpacks Unisex

The Lightning 60 by EXPED is an extremely lightweight roll-top backpack for fast-and-light multi-night adventures, offering outstanding comfort, freedom of movement and load-bearing stability.

It has thru-hiking DNA with the carrying capacity of an internal frame pack. The top-loading roll closure of the Lightning 60 by EXPED maximizes weatherproofing and allows expansion of the main compartment to accommodate extra gear when needed. Zig-zag side compression straps and an over-the-top strap with Rapide Hook secure the load to the frame.

The Lightning 60 by EXPED employs a remarkably lightweight suspension system, the backbone of which is a stout, single aluminum stay that is secured to the lumbar pad for direct weight transfer to the users hips. The padded shoulder yoke, with sternum strap, slides along the the stay, allowing a wide range of vertical, micro-adjustment to precisely match the wearers torso length while reducing contact points to a minimum.

Stretch pouches on each side hold water bottles, trekking poles or tent poles and zippered stretch pockets on each hip belt wing hold small items for quick access. A weather-resistant-zippered pocket at the top of the frame holds and gives access to a hydration reservoir and a mesh inner pocket keeps valuables secure. A strong top haul loop and, a pair of ice axe loops and central daisy chain with attachment cords makes the Lightning 60 by EXPED mountaineering capable.
