Exped Lightning 60 backpack, Forest

Lightning is an extremely lightweight roll-top backpack for fast-and-light multi-night adventures, offering outstanding comfort, freedom of movement and load-bearing stability. It has thru-hiking DNA with the carrying capacity of an internal frame pack.

Its top-loading roll closure maximises weatherproofing and allows expansion of the main compartment to accommodate extra gear when needed.

Zig-zag side compression straps and an over-the-top strap with Rapide Hook secure the load to the frame. Lightning employs a remarkably lightweight suspension system, the backbone of which is a stout, single aluminium stay that is secured to the lumbar pad for direct weight transfer to the user's hips. The padded shoulder yoke, with sternum strap, slides along the stay, allowing a wide range of vertical micro-adjustment to precisely match the wearer's torso length while reducing contact points to a minimum.

Stretch pouches on each side hold water bottles, trekking poles or tent poles, and zippered stretch pockets on each hip belt wing hold small items for quick access. A weather-resistant zippered pocket at the top of the frame holds and gives access to a hydration reservoir. A mesh inner pocket keeps valuables secure. A strong top haul loop, a pair of ice axe loops and a central daisy chain with attachment cords make Lightning mountaineering capable. Available in women's and men's designs. 210 D PU-coated ripstop nylon balances light weight, durability and weather resistance.
