Exped Typhoon 25 (2021/2022)

— Show original

For a backpack weighing less than half a kilo, it has a surprisingly robust structure, good carrying properties and a lot of functionality. The materials feel of high quality and there is enough padding in the slices that you want to carry this fully loaded all day. The straps on the front panel made it easy to tie the downhill skis to the sloped stock, and a couple of hundred meters up a steep pass didn't feel as miserable as you might imagine, staring at just the 450 g weight of the backpack. This is definitely not an ultralight rucksack, but a fully functional daypack. Thanks are also due to the external water bottle pockets, thanks to which the capacity of the backpack can be fully utilized and a leaking water bottle does not wet the break jacket.

Light, but note that a long service life is the goal. No quick-dissolving zippers or tapes. Excellent water resistance.
