EXPED‘s suspension system

Depending on pack volume and intended use, the suspension system of a backpack can be the most important component. Defining torso length is not necessarily critical for a lightly loaded daypack, but crucial on backpacking or mountaineering packs where only precise fit will efficiently transfer weight to the hips.

For large loads and/or internal frame packs, the center of the hip belt “wings” ideally rests on the hip bone crest (pelvis) and the lumbar pad on the bones of the sacrum. But sometimes a shorter pack length is better, such as in mountaineering situations where a higher-riding pack allows easy access to the climbing harness and/or when unrestricted head movement is needed.

 

How is torso length defined?

Use a measuring tape to determine the distance between the top edge of the shoulders or the C7 vertebra (the one that protrudes where the neck meets the spine) and the top of the iliac crest (pelvic crest).

Note: The Lightning and Thunder series packs feature torso-length-adjustable suspension systems that cover sizes S to L for men‘s packs and XS to M for women‘s versions.

Product Description

The Skyline 20 is a comfortable and versatile companion for day trips with little luggage. It is ideal for day hikes, a wide range of sporting activities, and everyday use.

The ergonomically shaped Air Flow back system is flexible and adapts to your back, no matter what the situation. The slim shape and close-to-body fit ensure a high level of comfort. The soft, airy shoulder straps and a stowable hip belt offer optimum support.

The large zipper opening runs all the way down one side, providing optimum and quick access to the main compartment. With the Skyline, you also have the option of integrating a hydration system. The compartment for the hydration bladder is accessible from the outside.

Practical mesh and zippered pockets on the inside and on the shoulder straps make it easy to organize smaller items of equipment. On the outside, a large front and two side mesh pockets made of elastic fabric provide additional storage space for a water bottle or wet clothes, for example. The front pocket also has a practical helmet holder. You can also easily attach your hiking poles to the Skyline. In wet conditions, an integrated rain cover with reflective logo offers effective protection and visibility.

The bluesign® approved fabric is made from robust recycled polyester.
