Product Info for Exped Lightning 45 Backpack - Women's

The Lightning 45 is a refined lightweight backpack for any multi-day trekking adventure where minimal weight and functionality are essential.image

The functional roll-top closure allows not only quick access, but also expansion of the main compartment. Side pockets made of elastic fabric can be used to store items such as water bottles as well as trekking poles or tent poles. Zippered pockets on the hip belt on top of the pack provide even more quick-access storage space.

Side zig-zag compression straps and a webbing strap that runs across the backpack with quick-release buckles keep gear like mats or an flysheet securely in place. Those who use the Lightning for mountaineering attach ice tools to the designated loops and central daisy chain.

The fully adjustable suspension system with minimal contact points and aluminum stay is length-adjustable and can be easily configured to fit the length of your back. Further carrying comfort is provided by a padded hip belt. The extremely lightweight material is water-repellent and PFC-free.

The backpack is adjustable and fits great. I can actually fit my Bearikade Expedition and all my gear in it with having to use a sledge hammer to close it, my iPhone 6+ fits in the hip pocket and I can actually put my water bottle back without breaking my arm. It's a keeper!

I got this pack because I thought I might need the extra capacity for an early winter backpacking/climbing trip. As it turns out, I was able to fit everything into my existing pack, so ended up returning it. However, it is a very well built pack with an interesting design. It basically has an adjustable external frame. The frame is pliable enough to be bent to the exact shape o...
