Our verdict

Reasons to buy

  • Lightweight yet truly durable.
  • Completely waterproof so you won't have to worry when sudden downpours happen.
  • The external bungee system is functional as you can store extra items such as helmets or jackets.

Things to consider

  • Could use some more pockets and/sleeves for added organization.
  • The straps may feel flimsy at times.

What reviewers said

  • "I am about to buy my third Cloudburst Exped 25L backpack. I use it all the time - it's my handbag round town, my carry-on luggage when I fly, my daypack when I'm on longer trips and treks and was my bag when I did a winter marathon. Everything goes in it: spare top, waterproofs, book, map. And it's waterproof. I like the two straps keeping the bag secure and stable. Only a couple of niggles - not easy to carry a bottle of water and I use mine such a lot that the inside taping has come loose."
  • "This backpack worked great as a waterproof backpack for an Antarctic expedition. It laid in a few inches of water in the bottom of the Zodiac and kept everything dry. It is light, the straps can be extended very long to fit over bulky outerwear, and it worked great for me."
  • "Very lightweight summit pack. Would highly recommend it. This is one of my favorite packs for short hikes and even for walking around town. I used it extensively while traveling and it held up well. The EXPED folks offer excellent customer service and product warranty, so you can't really go wrong with any of their products."

...it seems rugged enough to last for many years of use as a side trip pack and day bag in my main pack. It is not as light or compact as my old S2S pack, but it is tougher, more comfortable, and waterproof and so may be the better choice for trips in wet and cold climates.
