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 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, a large front and two side mesh pockets made of elastic fabric provide additional storage space for a water bottle or wet clothes, for example. The front pocket also has a practical helmet holder. You can also easily attach your hiking poles to the Skyline. In wet conditions, an integrated rain cover with reflective logo offers effective protection and visibility.

The bluesign® approved fabric is made from robust recycled polyester.
