Simple but with essential features
Playapixie3 years ago
Received free productThis bag hits the sweet spot for a minimal/low-frills weather proof day pack while also having a few well-thought out useful features. For day hiking or biking in Washington, it’s fantastic that it’s water proof; this came in handy when we encountered an unexpected rain squall while hiking, and everything stayed dry (great news, since I had a watercolor sketchbook and paints in there.) The tags it came with say it is not submersible, but it seems significantly waterproof for non-dunking activities.
I love the depth and stretchiness of the two external pockets. It’s capable of holding smaller or larger water bottles and it holds them securely! This is a flaw with other packs I’ve used, so I really love these deep, stretchy outside pockets. Despite a lot of bending over to examine flowers and stuff, nothing fell out.
The simple bottom loop and movable elastic clasp work for my z-poles, which fold smaller than standard trekking poles. My usual day pack’s pole attachment doesn’t fit these poles, this feature makes me happy. There are multiple attachment points on the outside you can clip things to, too.
The size is awesome. Plenty of room for some warm/rain gear, sketchbook or laptop, lunch, and whatever else you need for your adventure. I also like that there is a separate internal pocket for smaller items, including a clip for keys.
The straps are comfortable, and the foam internal padding gives it just a bit of structure. I’m 5’3” and 110 pounds and this fits me fine, as well as fitting a larger guy friend comfortably too.
I would prefer a more substantial waist belt, and that’s my only real criticism. I like to carry most of the weight on my hips, so if this bag was heavily loaded, that’s the one “miss” for me. For a light load, it’s fine.
I think this bag is a good crossover between a city bag for biking or commuting and a reasonable day hiking pack.

Dry-ish bag
Billy2 years ago
I bought this to use as a deck bag for my personal on river items (snacks, water, yo-yo, etc.) during a Grand Canyon trip and it did not remain waterproof despite never being submerged. After a splash, if there was any standing water on the bag, it would deep in through the roll top closure. Anything that wasn’t in a dry bag or plastic bag in the backpack would end up getting damp, which kind of defeated the purpose of having it to begin with. That said, I love the fact that the built in liner has a loop to pull it out and hang it up to dry (Exped must have known this would happen), as well as the small pocket inside and the outside water bottle pockets. Those water bottle pockets were key when going on long hikes up side canyons.
All in all, nice features, just don’t count on it to keep things dry. It’s a dry-ish bag. I’m debating on replacing it with a Watershed product.

Great Minimalist Daypack!
3 years ago
It is very light and comfortable Love the minimalist design while still keeping comfortable padding in the back panel and shoulder straps. I like its clean look and appreciate that you still have the option of attaching stuff on the daisy chain. I was pleasantly surprised that it has loops to attach hiking poles. It is also nice that the loops tuck away when not in use so branches don’t catch them. This pack is clean enough looking to be a nice commuter bag or carry on travel bag but built well enough to function as a great all around day pack. The fact that it is waterproof and under a pound make it a huge upgrade from my previous name brand daypack. I literally forget I’m wearing it most of the time which is a vast contrast to other packs I’ve owned.

My stuff stayed dry!
3 years ago
The Exped Typhoon 25 Pack claims to keep your stuff dry. What better place to test this claim than in the rainy hills of Washington. This pack has just 2 outside pockets, which served to hold my water bottle. Other than that, I loaded this with my down jacket, warm hat, gloves, wallet, and keys -- and prayed everything would stay dry. With the roll-down top secured, everything did. At least the stuff in the Typhoon did -- my trail shoes and the rest of me didn't fare as well! There's a small zippered pocked inside for items like keys and wallet, and that was handy. I wondered what the loop was for in the bottom of the inside, but figure it's for hanging the bag up with the liner inside-out -- a nice touch. I couldn't figure out what the loops in the pockets are for. They're the ends of the shoulder straps. If anybody has an answer, please let me know. I didn't use the hip belt, I just left it clipped together. There are built-in little Velcro tabs to keep the strap ends organized, which I appreciated. Overall it's a nice pack, and I liken it to a drybag with shoulder straps. I'll use it to commute via bus during the rainy season, as I still have about half a mile to walk to work after I'm off the bus. Sorry the pictures don't show it on my body, but I was hiking alone. This is a well-made pack, and I should mention it has a daisy chain and a strap slit on the front if you wanted to accessorize.

Great for keeping your gear dry!!

Backpack is great for day hikes in wet conditions. Bag can easily fit lunch, a change of clothes, and a couple of towels for a day hike to a swimming hole. Also may turn into my daily bag I use for work. Separate compartment for wallet/keys allows for easy access. Cat in picture included for size reference.

Very functional, waterproof daypack
1 year ago
We bought this backpack in preparation for a possibly rainy trip to the Canadian Rockies. It ended up not raining much, but we still used it as a day pack. It fits a lot but can also roll down more for smaller loads and is lightweight. We found the ability to attach things to the outside of the pack very nifty- carabiners, bear spray, keychains, hats, a whistle/thermometer thing, etc. It also has two mesh side pockets and a chest/waist buckle strap which were nice. The only drawback is the lack of a CamelBak holder, but since the pack is waterproof, it has to be totally sealed, so it makes sense.

waterproof functional top loading daypack
10 months ago
I am a big fan of a top loading daypack so when I saw this one from Exped, I thought I would give it a try. The added bonus of not worrying about rain or sitting your pack in a puddle is great although I haven’t experienced a downpour yet. Overall the functionality of the pack with large water bottle holders on both sides combined with a decent sized main compartment with small zippered pouch for keys is a win. My only complaint is the sternum strap could go lower but generally the straps are comfortable and beefier than other lightweight packs of this size. 25L is a good size for day hiking. Give it a try!

Lightweight and Durable

This backpack was perfect for a day hike and short bike rides. We got snowed on and muddy during our bike ride but my change of clothes in my pack stayed dry. I was able to put my Nalgene bottle in the side pocket and this pack also comes with option to lace on the outside for extra space. There is a small zipper compartment on the inside for things like wallet, keys, headlamp, and pocket knife that’s really convenient.

This is a good waterproof bay pack. Liked that everything in pack had a place. The zipper pouch for keys, wallet, and phone is nice. The shoulder straps did ride up and rub my neck a bit. That said I would recommend this product

My go-to bag
2 years ago
I don't remember the last time I fell in love with a bag, but this one is IT. I live in the rainy Pacific Northwest and I use it on bike rides, day hikes, or just around town on a wet day. I bought it for bike commuting but it's become my go-to bag. I love the two stretchy side pockets, things are easily inserted and removed but also secure once in there. The inside liner is brightly colored on the burgundy bag, which I thought was clever for a one-compartment bag, and there's a loop on the bottom so you can pull the lining out to shake out all the dirt and crumbs. It's super comfortable, even after many hours of activity. The slim straps are the perfect amount of support for a small bag, and the back padding felt substantial. I'm a very short, petite person, so I like how the straps have velcro bits built onto the ends so you can neatly roll them. No more streamers! It fits well for my size, too. The only down side--and I refuse to remove a star for it--is I wish the inner zipper pocket was slightly bigger. It is a cavernous bag, so I recommend using a few small stuff sacks to help wrangle your things.

Delaminated after 1.5 years

I ordered a Typhoon 25 in late September 2022 because it was advertised as waterproof. Last month, I took my Typhoon 25 out in the rain with my cellphone in the main compartment, and the top rolled down and clipped. When I got home, I found my phone in a puddle of water inside my backpack. My phone was damaged by the water, and it's no longer usable. I sent the pack in for warranty, and EXPED found in the evaluation that the pack had delaminated. Their only solution was to send me a new version of the exact same pack and say they would study the product to see why it's delaminating so quickly. Meanwhile, I'm out the cost of replacing my phone, and I don't feel I can trust my backpack to keep my items (cellphone, laptop, etc.) safe and dry.
No, I do not recommend this product
