## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Weatherproof construction. Perfect for outdoor trips and activities.
-   Has lots of attachment points for your outdoor gears.
-   Lightweight but highly durable. This would actually last you a long time.
-   The side access to the main compartment is convenient when you need to grab something from the bottom or middle of the pack.

### Things to consider

-   Could use a water bottle pocket.
-   It takes time to get used to the carabiner closure system.

## 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.
