Product Description

The Ridgeline offers everything you need for multi-day tours and long-distance trips: comfort, smart organisation and robust materials.

The ergonomic carrying system can be precisely adjusted to suit different body shapes for optimal weight distribution – thanks to adjustable back length, shoulder straps and hip belts. The Air Flow back system ensures comfortable ventilation.

Efficient organisation is ensured by the large, U-shaped front access to the main compartment, a fully detachable sleeping bag compartment and various internal pockets. On the outside, the two mesh side pockets and the large front pocket offer a range of storage options.

Thanks to the versatile top closure, the Ridgeline can be individually and flexibly adapted to different needs. The spacious lid pocket is detachable and can be used as a bum bag. The roll-top allows you to adjust the volume and close the rucksack securely. The integrated rain cover protects against the rain.

Made from extremely durable polyester, the Ridgeline combines durability, comfort and functionality, making it the ideal companion for trekking, long-distance hikes and travel.

The torso length is the length of a person's back, measured from the hip to the shoulder, and is an important factor in the fitting process of a backpack.

Depending on the volume of the backpack and its intended use, the suspension system of a backpack becomes a key criterion. Determining back length is not as critical for shorter hikes or everyday backpacks, but is crucial for expedition, trekking and touring backpacks. With these backpacks, the pack weight can only be optimally transferred to the hips if the back length and suspension system are correctly matched.

The center of the hip belt is ideally located on the hip bones (upper edge of the pelvis) and the sacrum to carry most of the load, especially with large internal frame backpacks. There are exceptions where a shorter backpack length is better, such as in alpine situations, because this allows a shorter overall length of the backpack suspension system to allow easier access to the climbing harness.

To determine your back length, use a tape measure to measure the distance from the top of your shoulders to the top of your hip bone (pelvic rim). This is best done by a friend who can properly place and read the tape measure on your back. Any EXPED retailer should also be able to help you determine your back length.

EXPED measures the volume of its packs using standardized plastic balls. The volume declarations are exact. The external dimensions are measured at the widest point. Calculating volume based on dimensions can lead to different values.

Backpacks (this is not brand specific!) should never be washed in washing machines or dried in a tumble dryer as this can lead to permanent damage of the fabrics and the PU coating . A further problem is that detergent residue and fabric softeners can damage the coating. We recommend washing your backpack by hand in warm water using pH-neutral soap, baby shampoo or shower gel. Stains can be removed with a soft brush. Air dry thoroughly (no direct sunlight or heat source) and store in a dry place.
