## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Features side zippered access to the main compartment. This makes grabbing stuff from beneath and/or middle of the pack fast and easy.
-   Has multiple attachment points for your outdoor gears.
-   Lightweight yet sturdy that would last a lifetime of beating.
-   Waterproof build.

### Things to consider

-   The carabiner closure system can be tricky to use at first.
-   An external water bottle pocket would be appreciated.

## Reviews from around the web

**ProView – EXPED Serac 35L Backpack**
[dirtbagdreams.com](https://dirtbagdreams.com/proview-exped-serac-35l/)

> EXPED has a winner here. A light and waterproof pack designed to be rugged at the same time. Traditionally those are contradictory features, but not here. This is my go-to pack for cold and fast missions in the alpine. Once spring rolls around, I am excited to try it out in ski mountaineering expeditions where I envision it being most practical. With a great overall design, there are small details that could be better designed.
