In a world where bigger is more, and more is better, you may become disillusioned and forget the simplicity of intuitive, refined design . Fortunately, expedition packs incorporate the type of forward thinking you would expect from a backpack designed to keep your stuff dry, compartmentalized, and easy to access while being as minimalist and lightweight as possible. Generally, an expedition pack will run in the 4500-7000cu/in range depending on your length of trip. 3-5 Day trips can get by with 4500-6000, while longer trips with no resupplies and the need for lots of gear can require very large packs up to 7000cu/in.

Incorporating dual top pockets, stow on the go pockets, ice axe loops and super light weight materials into a refined, sleek package, both packs are top recommendations for your next serious expedition.
