## Reviews from around the web

**Exped Black Ice 30 review**
[trekandmountain.com](https://trekandmountain.com/2021/04/12/exped-black-ice-30-review/)

> Overall, though, we really liked the Black Ice pack – it’s well-made and versatile, and for those who want one daysack for all their activities, it could very well fit the bill.

**TRIP REPORT: GEAR REVIEW: EXPED BLACK ICE 55L**
[www.proguiding.com](https://www.proguiding.com/tripreports/gear-exped55/)

> Overall this pack has surpassed my expectations being able to adapt to any style I decide to use it. And seeing how it has survived a spring and summer of heavy use during work and on personal expeditions I believe strongly this pack will last for many more years of abuse.
