An expedition pack built for the descent, the EX 55L skis as well as it carries. This is the only expedition ski pack on the market with back-panel access. It expands to 75L to carry your gear to basecamp, while collapsing down to 2 inches in depth to make your daily ski tours from camp as fluid as the ones at home. The EX 55L shares the DNA and features of our LF 30L & LF 40L packs, while adding volume and durability for your longest objectives.
