ENTER for a Chance to WIN a FREE Exped Lightning 60 Backpack

The Exped Lightning 60 is a lightweight roll top backpack with an adjustable frame.

The Exped Lightning 60 ($229) is a high-capacity, lightweight backpack, suitable for a wide range of adventures. Weighing just 41 ounces (2 pounds 9 ounces) and sporting an adjustable length frame, this minimalist backpack is capable of hauling 40+ pound loads while providing excellent load transfer to the hips. Numerous external attachments points and the compression system make it adept for technical adventures that require hauling extra gear, without compromising on comfort or control. If you are looking for a high-capacity backpack for multi-night trips, I'd give the Exped Lightning 60 a serious look. It's hard to find a lightweight backpack that can haul heavy loads while providing the adjustability of a near-custom fit.
