EXPED Carrying System

For a lightly loaded day pack, determining the exact back length is not absolutely crucial. With trekking or mountaineering backpacks, however, it is essential, as only a perfect fit will efficiently transfer the weight to the hips. With heavy loads or backpacks featuring an internal carrying system, the centre of the hip wings should ideally rest on the iliac crest and the rear pad on the sacrum.

How do you measure back length?

To determine the back length, use a tape measure to measure the distance between the base of the shoulders or the level of the 7th cervical vertebra (which you can feel protruding where the neck meets the spine) and the upper edge of the iliac crest.

Product Description

The Skyline 30 is a comfortable and versatile day rucksack for trips requiring a little more luggage. It is ideal for challenging hikes or multi-day hut-to-hut 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-alloy frame ensure optimal weight distribution across your back and hips. The soft, breathable shoulder straps, slim profile and close-fitting design provide additional comfort.

The large zipped opening extends well down one side, allowing quick and easy access to the main compartment. The Skyline also offers the option to integrate a hydration system. The compartment for the hydration bladder is accessible from the outside.

Handy mesh and zipped pockets inside and on the shoulder straps make it easy to organise smaller items of kit. On the outside, a large front mesh pocket and two side mesh pockets made from stretchy fabric offer additional storage space, for example for a water bottle or wet clothes. The front pocket also features a handy helmet holder. You can also easily attach your walking poles to the Skyline. In wet weather, an integrated rain cover with a reflective logo provides effective protection and visibility.
