The only pack you will need
Yes , I recommend this product
I was looking to lighten up my base weight, but I was kind of skeptical of how ultralight packs carry weight. The Exped has all the features of an ultralight pack but carries weight like a traditional pack. I like the simplicity of one main storage compartment and stretch pockets on the front for easy to get to items, the hip belt and shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable, and the way the frame connects to the hip belt allows the pack to pivot and move with you instead of a locked in feel. The only negative thing is all the straps have Velcro organizers on the end so you won’t have a bunch of tail after you tighten all the straps down, it just feels unneeded. I would highly recommend this pack to anyone, beginner or expert

Great Lightweight Pack for Multi Night Treks
Yes , I recommend this product
Purchased this recently for 3 night backpack trip in Yellowstone. Was to replace my older heavier pack, as I'm now also older and heavier. The design is simple but effective and performed very well over 12 miles with a 35 lb load. The material is lightweight though extremely durable, as I had this pack stuffed with camping and fishing gear. Minimal features, but this saves on weight. The single aluminum stay was curved a bit awkward and needed some minor bending to accommodate the curve of my back. It handled the heavy load very well and was comfortable enough to keep me from cursing. The hip belt and lumber pad are nice and help add to the comfort. The side mesh pockets were stretched to the max and didn't tear or pop, which was impressive. The roll top dry bag style closure seemed a little weird at first, but I grew to like it. It saves weight and simplifies the design, so you don't have a top heavy pack lid, which I usually fill with stuff. Not much to complain about. The little Velcro tabs on some of the straps are a bit annoying and the lumbar pad torso length adjustment it a bit finicky, but that's the only real complaint. If you're looking to upgrade to a modern lightweight backpack that can handle multi night treks and weighs under 3 lbs, this might fit the bill for you.
