## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Boasts a lot of functional pockets to keep your things organized inside the bag.
-   Features a great switchback suspension system that is truly convenient to use. The same system also allows better ventilation to your back.
-   The bag is completely waterproof and comes with a rain cover for added peace of mind during heavy downpours.
-   Lightweight yet durable which makes it perfect for outdoor trips and activities.

### Things to consider

-   Some of the features feel like "overkill" and unnecessary.
-   Missing bottom straps for outdoor gears.
-   The hydro pouch hole might be too small for some hydro bladders.

## What reviewers said

-   "Very well constructed. Excellent suspension. Interesting/innovative zipper design."
-   "I spent a long time researching and looking at different bags, but it seemed to me that I would have to make compromises with any bag I chose. That was until I happened upon this bag. From large, spacious hip pockets to a well ventilated back panel, this is well and truly the perfect bag. A problem with many curved (or trampoline) back paneled bags is that in order to get the stuff at the bottom, one would have to take everything out. Not only this, but the curve in the backpack takes away from a lot of potential room. Exped fixes both of these common problems by implementing the switchback for more room and ventilation when needed, as well as a front-facing opening, so items at the bottom are always accessible"
-   "The top and side access allow you to get to everything and the inside mesh pockets on both access flaps are incredibly convenient. The hip-belt pockets are also really large and truly functional, adding even more room to a generously sized daypack. It also keeps a low/clean profile."

## Reviews from around the web

**Exped Skyline 25L Backpack Review**
[dirtbagdreams.com](https://dirtbagdreams.com/exped-skyline-25l-backpack-review/)

> So, in conclusion, this bag is perfect for a quick day hike or a long overnight trek. Its durability can hold up to all the elements and withstand some good wear. The glow-in-the-dark zippers are uniquely useful and extra rain cover is a huge plus. I also love the wide opening top compartment and interior pocket spaces. The wide waterproof hip pockets can save the day.
