Story of the <strong>Exped</strong><br />
Goose<br />
In 1981, deep in the wilderness<br />
of the Canadian<br />
Northwest Territories,<br />
<strong>Exped</strong> founders Andi<br />
and Heidi Brun lived<br />
for 9 months using simple<br />
tools and food gathered<br />
from nature. Nothing<br />
impressed them more<br />
than the serene movements<br />
of the wild geese<br />
flying over head.<br />
W H O I N T H E W O R L D I S E X P E D ?<br />
<strong>Exped</strong> means <strong>Exped</strong>ition Equipment.<br />
Since 1997, the <strong>Exped</strong> Team has designed<br />
and built the highest quality, specialized<br />
gear for the active, outdoor enthusiast.<br />
Equipment designed to appeal<br />
to everyone from the casual hiker<br />
of the Appalachian Trail to the expedition<br />
mountaineer in the Himalayas. Every<br />
user expects his equipment to meet exacting<br />
requirements, and at <strong>Exped</strong>, we<br />
build products intended to surpass those<br />
expectations!<br />
Nine years of <strong>Exped</strong><br />
Nine incredible years of<br />
“history“ include an impressive<br />
list of industry<br />
firsts, awards and patents:<br />
Specifications for the concept:<br />
> Ingenious simplicity. Multiple use and<br />
lightweight. Function, not fad.<br />
> Combine superb craftsmanship with<br />
superior materials. Emphasise durability.<br />
Promote sound environmental<br />
practices.<br />
> Test in lab and field to enhance performance.<br />
Develop useful features.<br />
1997:<br />
introduce new construction<br />

minimum, straightforward features and<br />
tools that function well. Unnecessary<br />
extras that just increase weight, but<br />
add no value or utility, are left out.<br />
> Synergy of Partnerships: Customers,<br />
retailers and factories are all involved<br />
to develop the best gear. We believe<br />
that in a global team highest quality<br />
can only be achieved by being mutually<br />
friendly partners.<br />

FEATURES<br />
d<br />
c ><br />
a > Fast setups and ease of use:<br />
- slide poles into sleeves<br />
- secure poles into pockets<br />
- tension. And that’s it!<br />
Continuous sleeves allow poles to easily<br />
pass through intersections.<br />
Canopies are factory mounted, and just<br />
a few stakes and guylines are needed<br />
to pitch any <strong>Exped</strong> tent.<br />
< g<br />
Attention paid to every detail...<br />
e<br />
><br />
><br />
f<br />
Color coded poles and sleeves eliminate<br />
guesswork.<br />
Reflective, glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls<br />
are easy to locate.<br />
Round shaped doors are easily operated<br />
with just one hand.<br />
There are two types of pole sleeves on<br />
the fly sheet: Exterior sleeves for easy<br />
setups or interior sleeves (Orion) for re-<br />
< a<br />
< b<br />
duced resistance to rain, wind or snow.<br />
Models with the <strong>Exped</strong>-developed “flat<br />
pole sleeves“ offer advantages of both<br />
interior and exterior sleeves.<br />
b > New adjustable floor loops made<br />
of Dyneema cord for easy placing of the<br />
stakes. Now you have a radius of up to<br />
8“ / 20 cm at your disposal in which to<br />
find the ideal spot for the stake.
c > Open loops, inverted for easy guyline<br />
attachment.<br />
d > Strong and weatherproof: bombproof<br />
shelters are created by combining<br />
wind shedding designs with strategically<br />
placed, dual guy points on each sleeve.<br />
Lines attach directly to pole structures<br />
for superior stability in any weather.<br />
Guylines, also developed by <strong>Exped</strong>, are<br />
ultralight and static with a tear force<br />
of 400 lbs/180 kg. This prevents the<br />
cord from stretching and tearing in high<br />
winds which otherwise leads to flapping<br />
of the fly and structure and ultimately to<br />
fracture of the poles.<br />
e > Enhanced aerodynamics with Flat<br />
or Interior Pole Sleeve designs.<br />
f > Excellent ventilation: even in rainy<br />
conditions, condensation is kept to a<br />
minimum by large opposed vents. This<br />
design promotes a chimney effect to<br />
maintain air circulation.<br />
> No-See-Um panels on the<br />
canopy‘s doors adjust from inside the<br />
tent to control ventilation. Careful attention<br />
to design ensures there is no contact<br />
between fly and canopy.<br />
> Our single wall tents are made<br />
of waterproof and breathable fabrics.<br />
(VentAir for Polaris and EPIC for Vega)<br />
g > Loads of space: unique <strong>Exped</strong> designs<br />
maximize usable interior space<br />
with steep side walls and large, protected<br />
vestibules. Vestibules provide am-<br />
ple space for storage and cooking (If<br />
cooking inside the vestibule, always prime<br />
and light stoves at a safe distance<br />
from the tent). Models with dual vestibules<br />
and entrances offer easy access<br />
and eliminate “trauma by kick“ to<br />
a sleeping tent mate. At least one inner<br />
door is large enough for two people to<br />
sit next to one another.<br />
> Totally waterproof shelters with<br />
factory taped seams, polyester core/<br />
cotton wrap thread, and taped or seamless<br />
bathtub floors.<br />
> Canopies can be unhooked to<br />
increase vestibule space. Loops and<br />
pockets keep the tent tidy.<br />
> Integrity: Keep it simple and<br />
reduce weight - care is taken to use<br />
simple, proven designs and hardware.<br />
Examples include toggle and loop<br />
connectors and adjustable pole tension<br />
pockets. Of course, field repairability<br />
goes without saying!<br />
> Natural, pleasing colors: warm<br />
yellow interiors are pleasant and relaxing,<br />
even when stormy weather<br />
keeps you inside the tent.<br />
Earthy, green color rainflies blend with<br />
nature; or bright terracotta color rainflies<br />
are easily spotted in bad weather<br />
or from a distance.<br />
> Multi-functional and simple use:<br />
Inner canopies can stay attached to<br />
rainfly at all times;<br />
Rainfly can be used alone for storage or<br />
for basic shelter;<br />
Inner canopy can be used alone in clear<br />
weather, with or without a tarp cover<br />
(pole pockets at the corners enable this<br />
configuration);<br />
Unhook part of the canopy to increase<br />
the space beneath the fly;<br />
Numerous zipper sliders allow the door<br />
to be opened in many different positions.<br />
> Freestanding and spacious:<br />
Most models are either freestanding or<br />
require just a few stakes to ensure that<br />
the tent is not carried off by wind. Such<br />
designs enable <strong>Exped</strong> tents to be easily<br />
moved to a new location or to be<br />
cleaned by shaking overhead. Developed<br />
by <strong>Exped</strong>, the “ridge tunnel tent“ is<br />
a new type of structure that combines a<br />
Tunnel design‘s maximum usable space<br />
with the Dome‘s freestanding capability.<br />
> Easy maintenance:<br />
Tent poles‘ end caps remove easily to<br />
adjust the shock cord in changing weather<br />
conditions or to replace a broken<br />
pole section.<br />
Pole tension pockets are made with<br />
strong, but simple materials (webbing<br />
and a small pole section). In the event<br />
of a failure, such materials can be repaired<br />
any place and do not depend<br />
upon plastic parts that can break at the<br />
worst times.<br />
All <strong>Exped</strong> tents include spare parts:<br />
zipper sliders, adhesive patch fabric,<br />
and emergency pole repair segments.<br />
> Easy packing:<br />
Specific length pole sections allow the<br />
packed tent to fit square into most large<br />
packs, and uniform length pole sections<br />
mean that just one section can address<br />
most any situation;<br />
Long, narrow accessory pockets occupy<br />
small spaces when packed;<br />
Side entry packsacks surround the<br />
rolled tent without effort or strain.<br />

Quality materials:<br />
In the non-Extreme series tents the<br />
rainfly fabric is strong, lightweight<br />
ripstop polyester: UV-resistant and<br />
meets CPAI-84 flame retardant guidelines.<br />
Extra strong PU coatings on the<br />
fabric‘s underside offer long wearing<br />
waterproofness.<br />
In the Extreme series the fly fabric is a<br />
strong, super lightweight, double<br />
silicone coated ripstop nylon with improved<br />
UV- and tear-resistance. However,<br />
silicone coated fabrics do not meet<br />
CPAI-84 fire retardant guidelines. (See<br />
tent models for specifics).<br />
All Floors are made from durable, taffeta<br />
nylon with heavy PU coatings; have<br />
a waterproof rating of 14+ PSI (10,000+<br />
mm water column) and are either factory<br />
seam taped or seamless to<br />
maximize strength.<br />
<strong>Mosquito</strong> netting is an ultra fine, very<br />
UV-resistant No-See-Um polyester.<br />
10<br />
Poles are state-of-the-art extruded,<br />
seamless aircraft DAC 7001-T6 aluminum<br />
- very rigid but soft enough to yield<br />
in strong wind. DAC poles snap back to<br />
position without breakage or damage to<br />
the fly. And DAC poles are less likely to<br />
burr if they do snap together.<br />
Reliable YKK zippers in the fly and canopy<br />
are sewn smooth side out to reduce<br />
exposure to dirt, which could cause<br />
premature wear.<br />
Aircraft aluminum stakes are provided<br />
in two grades: V-profile stakes for<br />
hard ground; ultra lightweight, U-profile<br />
stakes for soft earth.<br />
Ample guylines include adjustable tensioners,<br />
especially developed by <strong>Exped</strong>,<br />
that secure around most fixed objects<br />
without complicated knots. Key lines<br />
are factory pre mounted and provided<br />
with <strong>Exped</strong>‘s own Cord Stuffsacks (also<br />
available separately).<br />
Guylines, also developed by <strong>Exped</strong>,<br />
are ultralight and static with a tear force<br />
of 400 lbs/180 kg. This prevents the<br />
cord from stretching and tearing in high<br />
winds which otherwise leads to flapping<br />
of the fly and structure and ultimately to<br />
fracture of the poles. The guylines<br />
have a Dyneema core and polyester<br />
mantle. Dyneema is 15x stronger than<br />
steel and 40% stronger than Kevlar of<br />
the same weight. A reflective thread has<br />
been spun into the mantle for visibility<br />
in the dark. Sheaths and cores can<br />
be separated to increase usable length.<br />
Zipper pulls glow, and are color coded<br />
and reflective for easy handling.<br />
Quality workmanship:<br />
Lap-felled seams (4 inter-wrapped fabric<br />
layers) are single or double factory<br />
taped. Stress points are reinforced with<br />
extra-duty patches and are sewn with<br />
crossover stitching to better distribute<br />
forces over larger areas of fabric.<br />
Thread used throughout is ‘polyester<br />
core, cotton wrap’ that expands<br />
when wet to fill needle holes in edges,<br />
ground reinforcements and silicone treated<br />
fabrics.<br />
> Warranty and service: <strong>Exped</strong> tents<br />
carry a 5 year, limited warranty on defects<br />
in workmanship and materials. At<br />
its discretion, <strong>Exped</strong> will repair or replace<br />
any part that fails due to manufacturing<br />
defect. Failures due to normal<br />
wear, negligence, accidents and acts of<br />
nature can usually be repaired for a nominal<br />
charge. Please see your outdoor<br />
retailer for details or contact <strong>Exped</strong>.<br />
> And why not cheaper? The main<br />
costs lie in the materials used. Sure we<br />
could reduce the costs by half using<br />
cheaper components with the result<br />
that the product would be half as good<br />
or even irresponsible: Good looks<br />
under the shops lights and frustration<br />
out in the field.

VELA I<br />
Enter... the Zipfree door.<br />
> Versatility: all <strong>Exped</strong><br />
tents allow the components<br />
(canopy and rainfly)<br />
to be used separately.<br />
As an example you<br />
can combine Vela I‘s fly<br />
with an <strong>Exped</strong> DownMat<br />
and a WB sleeping bag<br />
when going light. Use the<br />
canopy alone or covered<br />
with an <strong>Exped</strong> Tarp.<br />
To enjoy the scenery, roll<br />
one or both fly ends toward<br />
the center.<br />
c ><br />
b ><br />

><br />
> New Zipfree door:<br />
just pull the cord to raise<br />
the door - no zipper to<br />
snag or admit water. Of<br />
course, no zipper saves<br />
weight! And without the<br />
obvious entrance, Vela I<br />
offers improved safety<br />
from quick thefts of opportunity.<br />
< d<br />
< a<br />
> Quick setup: slide the<br />
single, central pole<br />
through its Flat Pole<br />
Sleeve and seat the ends<br />
into grommets, then tension<br />
the two end poles,<br />
place two stakes and<br />
pull tight.Vela‘s V-shaped<br />
guyline configurations allow<br />
it to be set up anywhere<br />
as it adapts to the<br />
ground contours.<br />
a > Large vestibule, easily accessed from inside Vela I, is large<br />
enough for all your gear. The door is easily raised to offer a view<br />
but still protects from the elements.<br />
b > Large floor plan is especially long and wide, making it possible to<br />
bring gear inside or to help out a stranded, second person.<br />
c > Ventilation is maximized with the storm proof design. The rainfly<br />
can be rolled up from either end, and both ends of the canopy<br />
have easily accessed mesh windows. The roof has a hood<br />
protected vent to improve the chimney effect. The foot end is<br />
aerodynamically shaped to be completely tied down to face high<br />
winds.<br />
d > Tie down loops attach directly to the pole sleeves for maximum<br />
stability in wind.<br />
e > Ingenious flat pole sleeve improves aerodynamics in wind and<br />
rain. Double seams and stitching offer extreme strength.<br />
f > Setup requires just 2 stakes. Additional tie down loops make<br />
Vela I absolutely storm proof!<br />

SOLESTAR<br />
maximum space for the minimalist camper.<br />
> Convertible with<br />
a rollup top: with an<br />
inner tent of mosquito<br />
netting, the rainfly rolls<br />
forward to offer a clear<br />
view of the night sky. If<br />
the weather changes,<br />
one cord is pulled for<br />
quick protection without<br />
leaving Solestar!<br />

> Vents above the door<br />
and at the rear provide<br />
protected air circulation,<br />
regardless of the weather<br />
outside.<br />
c<br />
a > A small package with loads of space: Designed for one adult, but with room for<br />
two, Solestar cuts excess weight. Still, it offers enough space to comfortably<br />
wait out a rainy day, store extra gear, or cook in the vestibule. (If you must cook<br />
inside Solestar, always prime and light stoves at a safe distance from the tent).<br />
b > Solestar stands taut with just two arches and three stakes. Poles and sleeves<br />
are color coded for guess-free setups. Inner tent and rainfly structures are fixed<br />
at the front to reduce both weight and setup time!<br />
c > Front vestibule wings open wide, and with the fly rolled forward, Solestar becomes<br />
a comfortable, bugfree shelter.<br />
d > The rainfly door tucks into a side pocket, opens for improved ventilation, or<br />
functions as an awning when propped with trekking poles. Or, with one side<br />
wing opened, a protected entrance is created.<br />
e > Storm proof: Flat front pole sleeve and rear inner pole minimize wind resistance.<br />
Numerous, reinforced tie down loops increase stability in stormy<br />
weather. In fact, a secured Solestar has withstood a 150 km/h (94 mph) wind<br />
tunnel test.<br />
f > Organization is maintained with an interior laundry line and two storage<br />
pockets.

equally well indoors<br />
and outdoors. As<br />
an alternative to the<br />
fitted rainfly, use the<br />
inner canopy with an<br />

protection, set the tarp<br />
close to the tent; for<br />
better ventilation, set the<br />
tarp well above the tent.<br />

incredible ventilation for any climate!<br />

sliding tension pocket for easy and quick pitching.<br />
c > Two large doors operate with one hand and are wide enough for<br />
two adults to sit side by side.<br />
d > Ultra fine No-See-Um netting defends against the smallest<br />
creepers and fliers. Nearly vertical walls minimize the possiblity<br />
of nighttime contact and annoying biting insects. Canopy side<br />
walls are pocketed all around forming a double barrier so even if<br />
touching the sidewalls, moscitos can‘t reach you.<br />

(Corners should be staked to prevent sudden trips in a high<br />
wind).<br />

> Superb venting: Vents<br />
above the doors can be<br />
left open during rain promoting<br />
the chimney effect.<br />

plays a vital role in the<br />

grated and foldable corner<br />
poles.<br />
a > Fast setup and teardown: The built in corner poles make pitching<br />
the tent quick and easy. A pair of trekking poles, paddles etc.<br />
(not included) that are part of your gear is all that is needed to<br />
support the tent. Or it can be hung off a branch, boulder or overhang.<br />
b > Adjustable guylines made of super strong, lightweight and reflective<br />
Dyneema cord are premounted in a stormproof V-configuration.<br />
c > Large vestibules on either side for all your gear which can easily<br />
be accessed from inside.<br />
d > Bathtub floor of PU coated taffeta nylon with a 10,000 mm water<br />
column.<br />
e > Both doors can be easily opened with one hand. One entrance is<br />
large enough for two people to sit next to one another, the other<br />
one is smaller for to reduce weight.<br />
> A special tuck stitch seam and polyester core, cotton wrap<br />
thread keeps seams watertight.<br />
> The high vestibule doors allow easy entry without the need to<br />
crawl.<br />
> The wedge shape, the minimal resistance to wind of the tent<br />
walls and ample guyline loops with superstrong Dyneema cords<br />
make the Vega extremely stormproof.<br />
> Straight and replaceable corner poles are easy to fix out in the<br />
field. Adhesive fabric repair patches and zipper gliders are included<br />
for field repairs.

SIRIUS<br />
Fast! Light! Sturdy!<br />
> Sirius Extreme was barely a reality by the time it had received 2 major awards:<br />
Backpacker (USA) bestowed its coveted “Editors‘ Choice 2003“ (first time ever<br />
to a non-US tent company); and Outdoor Magazin (Germany) where it garnered<br />
highest ranking in its in depth tunnel tent test!<br />
“The air is definitely<br />
thinner in the ranks for<br />
top of the line tents, but<br />
<strong>Exped</strong>, the ingenious<br />
team from Switzerland,<br />
proves with its Sirius<br />
Extreme that other<br />
brands must take them<br />
seriously!“<br />

“... the first tent we’ve seen<br />
that lets us rave about its<br />
low weight without including<br />
qualifying comments about<br />
its tiny living space or high<br />
price. At less than 6 pounds,<br />
it belongs in the bantam<br />
weight class for full-featured<br />
two-person shelters - but<br />
it’s so spacious it feels like a<br />
three-person tent.”<br />

> Flat pole sleeve<br />
reduces resistance to<br />
wind, snow and driving<br />
rain.<br />
a > Fast and easy setup: <strong>Exped</strong>’s innovative flat sleeves are accessed<br />
from outside the fly and end with adjustable tension pole<br />
pockets. And with the canopy already attached, setup goes<br />
quickly: slide poles into the sleeves; seat ends into the pockets;<br />
tension. With just 4 stakes to set, sleep is not far off!<br />
b > Storm proof: Flat pole sleeve technology makes Sirius more<br />
aerodynamic and strengthens the pole sleeve seams. For bad<br />
weather conditions, ample loops and pre-mounted guylines are<br />
included (stored in Cord Stuffsacks). Double guyline loops grip<br />
the pole sleeves to keep the fly from flapping in bad weather.<br />
c > Large, adjustable door: tucks away into a side pocket; opens<br />
to a variety of positions for ventilation; or, use poles and guylines<br />
for covered protection. A side wing can also be used as an<br />
entrance.<br />
d > Venting and viewing: windows open completely from inside Sirius<br />
and are reinforced with mosquito netting to block the bugs. Windows<br />
help to reduce condensation in rain, and simple supports<br />
of pole repair tube keep the vents open at all times. The rear wall<br />
is made of mesh and a fabric cover. This cover can be unzipped<br />
completely and left at home to save weight. The rear part of the<br />
rainfly can be rolled up for maximized venting.<br />
e > Easy handling all the time: zippers have color coded, reflective,<br />
glow-in-the-dark pulls and are easily operated with one hand.<br />
f > Multi-Use: Canopy is easily unhooked and pushed back for some<br />
extra floor space, or it separates easily for use as a lightweight,<br />
bug shelter. Rainfly offers basic shelter when reduced weight is<br />
needed. And of course used complete... the award winning design<br />
of the Sirius Extreme!

BIG BEAR<br />
the dream house.<br />
Big Bear brings expedition design to family outings: hoop structure minimizes fabric and weight<br />
but maximizes space! Uniquely tapered poles, placing extra strength where needed, are matched<br />
to a load balance requirement!<br />
> Easy setup: No<br />
guesswork because<br />
color coded tent poles<br />
are matched to sleeves<br />
on the rainfly. Smooth<br />
ball ends glide quickly<br />
and seat into reinforced<br />
pockets.<br />
d<br />
><br />
a<br />
><br />
< e<br />
> Cord tensioners offer<br />
complete security and<br />
adjustability - all without<br />
knots! Guylines are<br />
black with silver flecks<br />
to improve nighttime<br />
visibility and to reduce<br />
the risk of accidents.<br />
><br />
f<br />
< b<br />
< c<br />
> Multi-use: To reduce<br />
weight, the outer tent<br />
can be used for basic<br />
shelter. Unhook the inner<br />
tents to create additional<br />
floor space and stuff them<br />
for use as cushions. Use<br />
the extra space to attach<br />
a second small cabin for<br />
more kids or gear.<br />
a > Easy to pitch: 3 color coded, hooped poles slide<br />
into matched sleeves; each pole secures into<br />
a tensioning pocket; corners and guy lines are<br />
staked. The inner tents are delivered pre-attached,<br />
which means that‘s it! No separate parts to<br />
negotiate.<br />
b > Separate spaces large enough for 3 adults and 2<br />
small kids offer many options. Unhook the smaller<br />
shelter to increase the storage area.<br />
c > 2 tie-down loops on each side of the pole sleeves<br />
assure tautness, even in high winds. Guy lines are<br />
factory mounted and store into Cord Stuffsacks.<br />
d > Rainfly is made from ripstop polyester with a heavy<br />
polyurethane coating, which is both UV-resistant<br />
and flame retardant. Seams are factory taped, and<br />
pole sleeves are double taped for added weather<br />
integrity.<br />
e > Tension pole pockets offer easy adjustment to<br />
ensure tautness. Adjustable floor straps allow<br />
pitching on any terrain.<br />
f > 4 adjustable windows improve ventilation and<br />
reduce condensation in wet weather. Windows and<br />
doors are lined with mosquito netting, and window<br />
supports conceal pole repair tubes!<br />
> 7’ high vestibule offers standing space for most<br />
adults. Relax, cook or entertain - it’s that big!<br />
Support the front and left side entrances for<br />
increased ventilation or expanded views.

Arc Tarp is a protective cover for rain or a shady spot for sun. Use it to cover gear,<br />
bikes and visitors. Used with two poles, Arc Tarp creates a large, airy covered area.<br />
Without poles, it is a huge tarp. Width and height adjust depending on configuration.<br />
> Lots of space with<br />
minimal weight: With<br />
little effort, Arc Tarp<br />
attaches quickly to most<br />
tents and creates added<br />
covered space. Ideally<br />
suited for use with <strong>Exped</strong><br />
Sirius, Orion, Venus,<br />
Andromeda, Auriga,<br />
Southern Cross, Solestar,<br />
Venus III, Cassiopeia and<br />
Big Bear.<br />

ARC TARP<br />
d<br />
> Fast setup: slide one<br />
or both poles into sleeves<br />
and fix into the tension<br />
pockets. Secure the cord<br />
web to the tent with<br />
the mini-biners and stake<br />
down the guylines.<br />
That’s it!<br />
> Flat pole sleeves<br />
reduce wind resistance,<br />
while making Arc Tarp<br />
easier to use. Double<br />
stitched, parallel seams<br />
offer extra strength.<br />
><br />
><br />
think of it as a huge veranda for your tent<br />
c<br />
Numerous applications:<br />
> Width and height are variable by ad<br />
justing the radius of the arc.<br />
> With two poles, Arc Tarp can be set<br />
up alone to create a large sheltered<br />
area.<br />
> Sun screen for the garden or beach.<br />
> Set up between two tents, two<br />
Arc <strong>Tarps</strong> facing one another create<br />
a huge family shelter to reduce the<br />
need for a special family tent.<br />
> As a standing height rainfly over a<br />
netting tent, e.g. Southern Cross or<br />
any <strong>Exped</strong> tent canopy.<br />
> As kitchen tent for cooking or di<br />
ning.<br />
b<br />
a > Fast set up: An adjustable cord running through<br />
loops at the back of the tarp with numerous minicarabiners<br />
attaches easily and tightly to any‚ mother<br />
tent‘.<br />
b > Reinforced guyline loops are set directly onto the<br />
pole sleeves for extra stability. Inner and outer<br />
guyline loops make Arc Tarp extremely versatile.<br />
c > Cord Stuffsacks eliminate the chaos of tangled<br />
lines. Guylines of ultralight and static Dyneema<br />
with a tear force of 400 lbs / 180 kg<br />
d > Fabric is ripstop polyester with a thick PU coating<br />
and factory taped seams. Fabric is also UV<br />
resistant, DWR treated and flame retardant.<br />
> Besides being a tent extension or tarp with poles,<br />
> Arc Tarp is the ideal family tent solution: instead of<br />
Arc Tarp functions well as a lightweight traditional<br />
tarp, when the poles are left at home.<br />
a big family tent, just connect 2 smaller tents with<br />
1 or even 2 Arc <strong>Tarps</strong>. And when the kids grow<br />
older and want their own tent, let them have one<br />
of the small tents on their own.

REFLECTIVE TENTCORD<br />
> Footprints for ground protection beneath tents.<br />
Available for most <strong>Exped</strong> tent models a footprint<br />
protects a tent floor from abraison, dirt, water and<br />
sun. Shaped like, but 10 cm (4“) smaller than, the tent<br />
floor to prevent rain from collecting between footprint<br />
and tent floor. Also covers the vestibule floor space to<br />
protect the vestibule from dirt and humidity. Attaches<br />
> New light Gear Loft for tent canopies. Attach to the<br />
tent roof using the adjustable, elastic straps found<br />
in the corners and the center, which prevent it from<br />
sagging under weight. Ideal for storing your glasses or<br />
drying gear. A loop in the middle is ideal for hanging<br />
a light.<br />
> The battle with tangled guylines is finally over: an<br />
ingenious stuff sack just for cords; offers quick cord<br />
storage but leaves them ready to use the next time<br />
without hassles! Just insert your fingers in the sack,<br />
wrap the line and turn inside out. An extra flap keeps<br />
everything from unraveling. Wow! Leave it to Swiss<br />
ingenuity and efficiency!<br />
> Guylines developed by <strong>Exped</strong>, are ultralight and<br />
static with a tear force of 400 lbs/180 kg. This prevents<br />
the cord from stretching and tearing in high<br />
winds which otherwise leads to flapping of the fly and<br />
structure and ultimately to fracture of the poles.<br />
> Reflective, <strong>Exped</strong> tent guylines - available in 15 m /<br />
49‘ sections. Intense reflection from any light source.<br />
Prevent night time accidents. Black color stands out<br />
from any natural background, including grass, snow<br />
and sand.<br />
with adjustable, elastic cords. Use Footprint and<br />
tentfly for going extra light!<br />
> Used as a Tarp: a footprint doubles as a tarp against<br />
rain, wind and sun (that is, against excessive exposure<br />
to UV radiation whether at high altitudes or in dry,<br />
sunny places like Australia and New Zealand).<br />

Quantum ® is the lightest, downproof<br />
fabric with such high abrasion resistance<br />
and it repels water droplets with<br />
its water repellent finish. It also packs<br />
extremely small, weighs just 30 g/m 2 ,<br />
and feels velvety soft. <strong>Exped</strong> “WB“<br />

le* shell fabric. Synthetic fill sleeping<br />
bags feature a lightweight, water repellent<br />
ripstop nylon shell. *Standard-Test<br />
BS3546 Part 4 1991<br />
e > Bar-tacking: Stress points, such as<br />
zipper ends, are carefully reinforced to<br />
prevent failures, rips and tears.<br />
f > Lining fabrics are comfortable and<br />
soft Texped PR 58 microfiber polyester,<br />
which easily conforms to body shape<br />
and eliminates cold spots. With high<br />
thread counts, all fabrics are natural
ly downproof, unlike cheaper calendered<br />
fabrics that lose softness and vapor<br />
permeability.<br />
g > Tuck-stitch design: Three layers of<br />
fabric, instead of two, are secured together<br />
with the seam fixed beneath the<br />
surface. This special technique prevents<br />
snags and is more abrasion resistant<br />
than simpler, traditional designs. It also<br />
protects the seams from moisture.<br />
h > Loops at the foot end permit the<br />
bag to be secured while airing without<br />
risk of being blown away by wind.<br />
i > Locking zippers feature reflective,<br />
glow-in-the-dark pulls that will not<br />
accidentally open - once set, the zipper<br />
stays set!<br />
j > Inner pockets: convenient storage<br />
for small, personal items. To reduce<br />
weight, some models stuff into those<br />
pockets instead of a separate sack.<br />
k > Draft collar: the clever, double velcro<br />
closure reliably blocks air.<br />
l > Chin guards: soft fabric guard protects<br />
skin from contact with a cold zipper.<br />
33<br />
m > Fabric edges are overlock stitched<br />
to prevent fraying, especially important<br />
with lightweight fabrics.<br />
n > Closed baffles: Highest quality<br />
baffle construction without gaps prevents<br />
down shift between chambers<br />
and uneven fill distribution, which could<br />
otherwise lead to cold spots.<br />
o > Draft tube: zipper is backed by an<br />
oversized draft tube, which is also divided<br />
into three chambers to prevent<br />
down shift. A stiffener prevents the zipper<br />
from snagging.<br />
p > Mat loops: Two loops at hip height<br />
can be used to secure the bag to the<br />
mat. Just tie a string to the loops and<br />
pass under the mat.<br />
Connectivity: Left and right zips connect<br />
2+ bags together, whether for<br />
comfort or emergency warming. YKK #8<br />
left-push zippers (#5 in center zip models)<br />
connect with most high quality<br />
sleeping bags on the market.<br />
3D baffle design: Horizontal and vertical<br />
baffles prevent down shift and eliminate<br />
cold spots. Most bags have over<br />
30 baffles. Baffle walls , constructed of<br />
fine tricot mesh, easily stand up to the<br />
strain of washing.<br />
Smart accessories: sleeping bags include<br />
a storage sack of ultrafine, No-<br />
See-Um netting that does double duty<br />
as bug protection or as a laundry bag.<br />
Stuff sacks, when included, fold into<br />
themselves to save space.<br />
Complete sleeping system: Two bags<br />
paired together create a flexible system<br />
that adapts to a variety of adventure<br />
situations. Consider a down inner<br />
with either a synthetic outer or a<br />
bivy bag. Hence we considered compatibility<br />
and sizing when designing the<br />
sleeping bags. Some bags are cut large<br />
to accept a second, inner bag. The<br />
WB-series bags do it all: insulation and<br />
comfort in a waterproof and breathable<br />
design.<br />
Optimal fit: a complete range of sleeping<br />
bags to fit most adults, depending<br />
on body size and sleeping behaviour.<br />
Remember: an improperly sized<br />
sleeping bag can be cold if too large or<br />
tight, so try it for fit before buying. Also<br />
consider the mat when choosing the<br />
sleeping bag. We state temperature ratings<br />
for our mats to help in finding the<br />
temperature range you may require.<br />
Tested materials: <strong>Exped</strong> uses well tested<br />
materials from both lab and field.<br />
Independent labs use internationally recognized<br />
standard tests to evaluate<br />
down fill power and quality, water vapor<br />
transmission, water column, water repellency,<br />
abrasion and tear resistance.<br />
Down tests are offered by the renowned<br />
IDLF (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) with<br />
each production run. (Test results available<br />
on request).<br />
Field tests are conducted by outdoor<br />
professionals, including Erhard Loretan<br />
(Himalaya expeditionist with all 14 8000<br />
m summits), Christof Hagen (wilderness<br />
and survival expert), Serge Lambert<br />
(professional mountain guide with<br />
over 30 years of experience), and, Martin<br />
Epp (mountain guide and wilderness<br />
professional). Of course, numerous other<br />
outdoor experts and the <strong>Exped</strong> team<br />
also contribute.
Temperature ratings as of EN 13597:<br />
The Euro-Norm temperature rating for<br />
sleeping bags is designed to provide<br />
comparability between different bags<br />
and across brands. A certified laboratory<br />
measures the heat loss in a climate<br />
chamber using a dummy attached to 16<br />
sensors. Men and women have different<br />
comfort experiences when exposed<br />
to the same temperature conditions,<br />
hence there is a different comfort rating<br />
given for women and men. The “Lower<br />
Extreme” temperature is defined as the<br />
point at which a man gets cold but<br />
without shivering. The “Upper Comfort”<br />
temperature is defined as the point at<br />
which one begins to feel so hot that the<br />
bag must be opened to vent. Note: The<br />
results for a given sleeping bag can vary<br />
between different individuals.<br />

<strong>Exped</strong> stands for quality.<br />
The patented waterpoof WB (WaterBloc)<br />
Series: The agony of choice<br />
is over: Down or Synthetic filled sleeping<br />
bags?<br />
Overall goose down filled bags are the<br />
better choice, but synthetics performe<br />
better in wet conditions.<br />
But now, at least this dilemma is history,<br />
because <strong>Exped</strong> has delivered a unique,<br />
waterproof and breathable goose<br />
downfill collection of sleeping bags: Ibis<br />
WB, Woodpecker WB, Swan WB and<br />
Arctic Goose WB!<br />
<strong>Exped</strong> solved this problem by replacing<br />
sewn seams with high-frequency<br />
welded seams. Thousands of needleholes<br />
that allowed water to reach the<br />
goose down and rendered the bag useless<br />
are now gone! Warm air is stopped<br />
from being pushed out during sleep.<br />
And seams are double welded for added<br />
strength and durability. This technology<br />
is invented and patented by <strong>Exped</strong>,<br />
however licenced to other highquality<br />
brands.<br />
The WBs are both waterproof and vapor<br />
permeable. Even in the worst weather<br />
conditons, there are no problems<br />
with condensation due to vapor emitted<br />
by the body. Still a skeptic? Then don‘t<br />
take our word for it! Highly respected,<br />
outdoor experts were eager to test a<br />
“WB“ bag, and all were quickly sold!<br />
Here‘s a statement from the field:<br />
Christof Hagen, founder of Survival-Outdoor-School<br />
SOS, offers: “Especially<br />
for my igloo courses, where<br />
melt water and condensation are totally<br />
normal, I always used synthetic filled<br />
bags. The Swan WB made me change<br />
my habits.“<br />
Warranty and Repair Service:<br />
Every <strong>Exped</strong> sleeping bag carries a<br />
5 year, limited warranty. Products with<br />
defects in materials and workmanship<br />
will be repaired or replaced. Please<br />

Rough awakenings lurk when mats malfunction! This is why <strong>Exped</strong> pays special attention to every high quality detail. To produce<br />
mats that are warm, comfortable, lightweight, durable and pack small is a challenge we take head on. The DownMat is<br />
our ultimate mat that combines all these features, followed by the SynMat and ComfortFoam mat.<br />
b<br />
><br />
d > Most models have two wide mouth<br />
valves that ensure fast inflation and<br />
simple deflation. Just one quarter turn<br />
closes the valve.<br />
> 100% airtight: Each individual mat<br />
is tested for 48 hours prior to leaving<br />
the factory! The mats withstand 5x the<br />
pressure usually generated during<br />
pumping. A car can drive over the mat<br />
without it bursting. But the mat should<br />
be protected from thorns, heat sources,<br />
fire sparks, humidity in the mat and<br />
rough treatment. There is a compromise<br />
between low weight and durability. But<br />
this can be compensated by care.<br />
< d<br />
< c<br />
> We produce our mats under sound<br />
environmental and social standards<br />
in a small family run business in Taiwan.<br />
> Optimised packaging: The mats are<br />
packed as compact as possible without<br />
making the packsack too small.<br />
> Included: fabric patches and textile<br />
glue.<br />
> 5 Year limited warranty on materials<br />
and workmanship.

Never underestimate the sleeping mat; in fact it is more important<br />
than the sleeping bag! To properly insulate against cold ground, a<br />
mat should provide both insulation and comfort that comes from<br />
full body support. Consider the following when choosing a mat: The<br />
mat‘s R-value (lab test); the mats‘ temperature rating and your cur-<br />
rent sleeping bag. Further criteria are weight and packed size. Fit<br />
should also be considered as side sleepers (70% of the population)<br />
can choose a narrower and shorter mat than people that sleep on<br />
their back (20%) or on their stomach (10%).<br />

<strong>Exped</strong> DownMats: super comfortable, infinitely warmer and more compact than any<br />
other comparable mat of similar weight. Since down compresses so well, DownMats<br />
also pack very small. Unique pump-packsack doubles as both bellows-pump and pillow.<br />
> Heat loss is dramatically reduced with down insulation inside the mat, as demonstrated by<br />
EMPA, the Swiss Federal Labaratories for Materials Testing and Research, and field tests by<br />
expeditions. The thick cushion of air also provides comfort and smooths out uneven ground. And<br />
as down compresses extremely well, Downmats packs smaller than other insulated mats.<br />
> Unique Pump-<br />
Packsack: just connect<br />
the valves and simple,<br />
safe inflation is in the<br />

Europe‘s most prestigious outdoor<br />
award. Presented by Europe‘s leading<br />
outdoor magazines, there is just<br />
one winner each year. Besides the<br />

presented to <strong>Exped</strong> in recognition of<br />

colors dry quickly.<br />
> For use with a pillow, 2 loops at head end can be<br />
used to secure the packsack to the mat.<br />
> Light and warm: According to EMPA‘s test<br />
(SOP00749) the 9 cm DownMats offer a heat<br />
resistance value of 1.6. At about the same weight,<br />
a standard 2.5 cm self inflating mat offers a value<br />
of 0.5, or, just 1/3 that of the DownMat! Further<br />
EMPA tests demonstrated that regular mats lose<br />
3x more heat to cold ground than to the air. The<br />
conclusion: use a lighter weight sleeping bag with<br />
a DownMat to achieve consistent overall comfort,<br />
and still reduce weight and bulk!<br />

treated with Nocar to eliminate the effects of<br />

warmth to weight ratio of the SynMat is superior when compared to regular mats. The synthetic<br />
filling is laminated to both the top and bottom of the fabric, which eliminates the loss of loft<br />
common to synthetic filled sleeping bags. As with the DownMats, testing was done with the Syn-<br />

self inflating, comfortable and warm<br />
> The ComfortFoam Mat is comfortable in all respects: As comfortable as the DownMat and<br />
SynMat for sleeping and as easy to inflate as the SIM mats. The weight is also an advantage<br />
because they are lighter than regular self inflating mats of the same thickness. And should<br />
the mat be punctured, the foam continues to insulate and cushion.<br />
> Recycled foam insulation:<br />
The filling in the<br />
ComfortFoam Mats comes<br />
from the foam cores<br />
taken from the <strong>Exped</strong><br />
SIM Light Mats. This<br />
is good for the environment,<br />
reduces the price<br />
and ensures that the<br />
Comfort Foam Mats are<br />
self inflating. Only CFK*free,<br />
high grade open<br />
cell polyurethane foam is<br />
used. By filling the mats<br />
loosely with foam cores<br />
instead of lamination,<br />
we eliminate the risk<br />
of delamination, which<br />
is the most common defect<br />
in regular self inflating<br />

SIM LIGHT<br />
> <strong>Exped</strong> mats inflate quickly with wide air<br />
channels and valves.<br />
> Textured polyester fabric is abrasion- and<br />
UV-resistant, and easy on bare skin. For<br />
improved slip resistance, top surface is<br />
honeycomb patterned, although it‘s not so<br />
‘grippy‘ that would prevent easy turning<br />
with the bag.<br />
> 2 loops at the end permit securing the<br />
packsack (stuffed with clothes) for use as<br />
a pillow. Generously sized stuff sacks offer<br />
easy packing.<br />
> Only CFK-free, high grade open cell<br />
polyurethane foam is used.<br />
> High frequency welded seams and strong<br />
lamination of foam and fabric for durability.<br />
a<br />
><br />
lightweight beds for wherever you go<br />
<strong>Exped</strong> Self Inflating Mats demonstrate thoroughly thoughtful design and quality, as<br />
recognized in outdoor magazine tests. For example, SIM Light 3.8 and 5 were both<br />
highlighted in Outdoor Magazin (Germany, July 2003 and November 2004).<br />
b<br />

< c<br />
< g<br />
Delamination is generally the most common<br />
defect in self inflating mats and the reason<br />
why the lamination process gets special<br />
attention.<br />
> Wide mouth valves close with just 1/4 turn.<br />
High quality molded valves reduce weight<br />
and never feel cold to touch.<br />
> Included: fabric patches and textile glue.<br />
a > SIM Light 2.5 Short: A reduced size mat for<br />
the minimalist or those in need of a smaller size<br />
mat. Combine two mats for extra length or extra<br />
cushioning and insulation. Vertical cores in the<br />
foam reduce weight. Folds very compactly in<br />
thirds.<br />
b > SIM Light 2.5 BP: The lightweight standard self<br />
inflating mat with contoured shape to save weight.<br />
Same coring design of SIM Light 2.5 short. Packs<br />
easily in thirds.<br />
c > SIM Light 2.5: The lightweight standard of self<br />
inflating mats in a full length. Same coring design<br />
of SIM Light 2.5 Short. Packs easily in thirds!<br />
Normally wasted, ‘cores‘ are recycled into <strong>Exped</strong>‘s<br />
unique ComfortFoam mats.<br />
d > SIM Light 3.8: Outdoor Magazin (Germany) July<br />
2003 test winner! A 4-season mat with horizontal<br />
cores offers lighter weight and less bulk than solid<br />
foam.<br />
e > SIM Light 5: Outdoor Magazin (Germany)<br />
November 2004 test winner! “The best all round<br />
mat the Outdoor editors know..“ Very cushy, 4season<br />
mat. Horizontal cores reduce weight and<br />
bulk.<br />
f > SIM Light 5 DLX: Same great design of SIM Light<br />
5 with horizontal cores throughout the foam, but<br />
with added dimensions. Still, easily lightweight<br />
enough to carry!<br />
g > SIM Light 10 DLX: The “Fat“ mat for an expedition<br />
base camp, RV, or portable guest bed. A truly<br />
luxurious mat with velcro strips to enable joining<br />
of 2+ mats. Horizontal cores reduce weight and<br />
bulk.

AIRMAT 7.5 PUMP DLX<br />
a<br />
a > Wide mouth valves close with<br />
just 1/4 turn. Valves are located<br />
on the ends, rather than corners,<br />
to prevent damage. High quality<br />
molded valves reduce weight and<br />
never feel cold.<br />
b > AirMat 7.5 - continuous air flow in<br />
one chamber, while the wider DLX<br />
is features two equal chambers.<br />
Thoughtful design to ensure that<br />
one small puncture doesn‘t ruin the<br />
entire trip.<br />
c > Quality construction with high<br />
frequency welding.<br />
a > Use either your feet or hands to<br />
pump up the mat in seconds. Flip<br />
it over and use the built in pump as<br />
your perfect pillow!<br />
b > Two wide mouth valves for instant<br />
deflation that close with just 1/4<br />
turn.<br />
c > The AirMat 7.5 Pump DLX is divided<br />
in two separate chambers. Should<br />
one of them get punctured and loose<br />
pressure you still have the other<br />
for a good nights sleep.<br />
d > Textured polyester fabric is abrasion-<br />
and UV-resistant, and easy on bare<br />
skin. For improved slip resistance,<br />
top surface is honeycomb patterned,<br />
although it‘s not so ‘grippy‘ that it<br />
would prevent easy turning with the<br />
bag.<br />
> Deflated AirMats roll compactly into<br />
an all but invisible package!<br />
> Repair fabrics and a tube of textile<br />
glue are included.<br />
AirMat with a high fun factor: Inflate the mat with a quick jog on the built in pump! And<br />
the same pump then doubles as the built in pillow. Double air chambers for added safety.<br />

Indestructible carpet mat<br />
CHAIR KIT M+L<br />
a > The Doublemat Evazote is made<br />
of Evazote, a closed cell EVA foam<br />
optimised for expedition use. Acclaimed<br />
for extreme durability and<br />
is not rendered useless by thorns,<br />
debris nor your crampons.<br />
Multi purpose: spread it or fold it.<br />
Use it anyway required. Works as<br />
insulating tent carpet, sleeping mat,<br />
rain cover or floatation aid or cut it<br />
up to make insoles for your shoes.<br />
No expedition leaves home without<br />
one.<br />
PICNIC MAT EVA+DOUBLEMAT EVAZOTE<br />
b > The Picnic Mat EVA is made of 2 mm instead of<br />
4 mm EVA (Ethyl-Vinyl-Azetat) foam and one side<br />
is backed by fast drying ripstop nylon that is easy<br />
to bare skin. This makes Picnic Mat waterproof,<br />
warm and tough while providing insulation against<br />
surface moisture, cold and stones. Also works as<br />
carpet in your tent‘s vestibule, canopy or beneath<br />
your tarp. Folded lenghtwise it forms a lightweight,<br />
closed cell pad for summer nights. Insulation and<br />
comfort can be increased by stuffing with clothing,<br />
foliage or your pack.<br />
> EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetat) has been used for years<br />
and is considered to be one of the toughes closed<br />
cell foams for outdoor use.<br />

you can switch from chair to sleeping<br />
mat without standing up.<br />
> Poles and straps can be removed<br />
to save weight when only used as a<br />
protective cover.<br />
> Couple multiple mats using the side<br />
buckles.<br />
> Three different openings in the pole<br />
sleeve can be used to insert different<br />
kinds of stiffeners like tent or<br />
trekking pole segments.<br />
> Premium materials: Floor is made of <strong>Exped</strong>‘s PU<br />
coated tentfloor fabric with 10‘000 mm water column.<br />
Top is of <strong>Exped</strong>‘s skin friendly sleeping bag<br />
lining fabric. The stiffeners used are DAC SL 9 mm<br />
tentpole segments.<br />
> Insert an EVA mat like the Double Mat Evazote<br />
(not included) for added protection on very rough<br />
ground.<br />

mats without the need to remove them from the<br />
kit.<br />

just kneel lightly and watch the mat inflate before your<br />
eyes in one go, and with so little effort, it‘s barely noticable!<br />
the velcro strips. The included packsack is fixed to<br />
the straps and can not be lost.<br />

SCOUT HAMMOCK<br />
<strong>Hammocks</strong> in 2 sizes and a bug-net<br />
> What do the jungle, steep slope, forest and a tropical island have<br />
in common? All are perfect places for <strong>Exped</strong> Scout <strong>Hammocks</strong>.<br />
Use Bivy-Poncho or other tarp for basic rain protection. To combat<br />
biting insects, add <strong>Exped</strong> Moskitonet.<br />
a > Integrated packsack holds water<br />
bottle, glasses, or other small gear.<br />
b > Strong cords on both ends are sewn<br />
with a special technique designed<br />
for durability. Scout DLX‘s cords<br />
adjust to suit your preferred body<br />
position. Or, completely detach<br />
cords for use as a sun shelter.<br />
> Just swinging along... Scout<br />
Hammock DLX uses a special<br />
drawcord that converts the<br />
hammock to a swinging chair. On<br />
Scout Hammock, simply tie a knot<br />
into the middle of the hem on one<br />
side.<br />
> Loops on the DLX hold poles to<br />
convert the free form hammock to a<br />
suported hammock.<br />
> DLX includes 2 special cords<br />
(5m/15‘) to assist in hanging the<br />
hammock. Cord ends slide through<br />
special slits and secure with a knot.<br />
> Dark color of Scout Hammock<br />
Moskitonet offers great visibility to<br />
the outside. Tapered, banana shape<br />
ensures a safe distance is preserved<br />
between the sleeper and the netting.<br />
Tube entrance is accessed from<br />
below; secures easily with an elastic<br />
band for quick entry and exit.<br />

the suspension system of a Scout<br />
Hammock. The result: a very comfortable,<br />
nearly flat hammock with<br />
neither the usual cold spots nor the<br />
free access to your bottom side for<br />
biting insects.<br />

models with PU coated<br />
floors:<br />
100% models are suggested<br />
for extreme trips,<br />
with the mat placed on<br />
the outside. The sleeper<br />
can turn freely during<br />
sleep and stay condensation<br />
free since a breathable<br />
surface is always<br />
open to the air.<br />
PU coated floors are more<br />
economical, and the<br />
sleeping mat is placed<br />
inside the bivy.<br />

With a microporous coating<br />
that is cured into the<br />

eVENT ® is made of a<br />
EPTFE* laminate that is<br />
extremely breathable.<br />

Materials and workmanship:<br />
> Extruded, aircraft quality 7075-<br />
T6 aluminum - the ideal pole alloy<br />
with exceptional stiffness and good<br />
rebound characteristics.<br />
> Unlike other pole designs, <strong>Exped</strong><br />
shafts are anodized both inside and<br />
outside to create an even harder and<br />
stronger alloy. And while <strong>Exped</strong> poles<br />
are more scratch-resistant, the extra<br />
anodizing also gives them the ultimate<br />
protection against corrosion.<br />
> Extremely hard, carbide steel tip<br />
for improved and safe grip on solid<br />
rock and ice.<br />
> Grips are made from comfortable<br />
and lightweight closed-cell EVA foam.<br />
> Special expander with dual contact<br />
areas for fast and secure locking. 4section<br />
poles feature a maintenance<br />
free, push-button system on the lower<br />
segments - excellent since the lower<br />
segments rarely need adjusting.<br />
> 4-section pole with a<br />
59 cm (23“) pack length<br />
Explorer SA is without<br />
doubt the shortest shock<br />
absorbing, telescoping<br />
