A great honour for our lightweight pack: the editors of Outdoor Magazine have awarded the Lightning 40 the Editors' Choice Award. The newly developed carrying system and the weight of just 1150 g were impressive.

In 2001, EXPED didn’t just launch the DownMat - it sparked a revolution in outdoor sleep by introducing R-value testing to measure a sleeping mat’s warmth.

Simon Hiltli from Switzerland has been on an extraordinary journey for 80 days: He is travelling to Kyrgyzstan on his bike and skis, where untouched mountains and new skiing experiences await him. We spoke to him about his motivation for this great adventure, about formative encounters along the way, and about an accident that almost ended his journey.

Together with POW, EXPED is calling for effective climate protection measures from politicians: emissions that are caused in Switzerland must also be reduced here. Sign the petition now!
