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 />

“ridge tunnel tent“<br />

(Orion) and “ridge double<br />

cross tent“ (Vega);<br />

> No superficial “Feature-itis” - just the<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 />

How about placing tent pegs<br />

without swearing..? Another dream<br />

come true! The tent floor loops are<br />

adjustable, so finding the right spot<br />

for the tent stakes is easy.<br />

T H E U LT I M A T E G U Y L I N E S<br />

A lot of tinkering went into the new<br />

tentlines out of mantled Dyneema: it<br />

is superstatic, superlight, UV-resistant<br />

and bears a breaking strength<br />

of 180 kg!

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 />

e<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.

Souther n Cross - an indispensable, well vented shelter for bug country, is also ex-<br />

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 />

a > Large private entrances mean an end to bumps in the night when<br />

entering or leaving Southern Cross. Plenty of space for gear, and<br />

incredible ventilation for any climate!<br />

b > Continuous pole sleeves are set outside the canopy and have a<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 />

e > Freestanding construction minimizes the need for stakes.<br />

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

wind).<br />

above the entrances. Roll the rainfly up on one or both sides<br />

> Superb venting: Vents<br />

above the doors can be<br />

left open during rain promoting<br />

the chimney effect.<br />

Both vestibules<br />

plays a vital role in the<br />

ventilation of the tent.<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!

a > Huge vestibule - large enough to hide a bicycle! A<br />

multitude of loops allows a line to be strung inside<br />

Andromeda, and two people can sit comfortably in<br />

the dry vestibule in the event of bad weather.<br />

b > Easy setup with <strong>Exped</strong>’s unique flat sleeves. Poles<br />

4 stakes, setup is complete in just a few minutes!<br />

c > For ventilation and views, windows can be opened<br />

completely from inside and are reinforced with<br />

mosquito netting to stop the bugs. The venting<br />

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 />

d > High performance fabrics: Pertex<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 />

(WaterBloc) sleeping bags use Pertex<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 />

bag, there are no cold spots. Adjustable cords keep<br />

the Booties in place without being tight. Socks pack<br />

small into a fist-sized stuff sack.<br />

Booties inside, the waterproof Booty WB offers<br />

insulated soles and heels. Use as directed for warm<br />

and dry feet, especially in snow and slush! Booties<br />

WB use the following materials: waterproof and vapor<br />

can save your life. During extended trips in arctic<br />

conditions, even the best bags can get damp and<br />

heavy from accumulated body vapor. A vapor proof<br />

polyester fabric for winter and summer use. Fits your<br />

sleeping bag perfectly; Can be stuffed in itself for<br />

the net facing out, the WB-Rainhood also offers bug<br />

protection. Or, just use it as a simple storage sack.<br />

liner like the VBL-Linerbag will help to preserve<br />

insulation because humidity is kept away from<br />

the insulation. VBL-Linerbag also functions as an<br />

to the fabric used in all <strong>Exped</strong><br />

mats, this in contrast to cheaper PU<br />

coatings that don‘t stay airtight for as<br />

long. Top surface of honeycomb<br />

textured fabric provides superior slip<br />

resistance although it still allows turning<br />

with the sleeping bag.<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 />

mat‘s sheer warmth, this award was<br />

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

the DownMat‘s superb performance<br />

and overall value.<br />

b > Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the<br />

a stable and supportive air cushion.<br />

c > Light foam blocks at the mat‘s ends prevent down<br />

from escaping or migrating between chambers.<br />

d > Laminated polyester fabric is both durable and<br />

airtight. Top surface of honeycomb textured fabric<br />

provides superior slip resistance and comfort<br />

next to the skin. Seams and valves are all highfrequency<br />

welded (most secure method of fusing<br />

fabrics and materials) to ensure mat integrity. Dark<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 />

> 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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

< 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 />

> Once your mat is in the Chair Kit<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 />

> The compressable packsack allows storing most<br />

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

kit.<br />

> Chairkit L has valve exits at the footend corners<br />

for mats like the AirMat 7.5 Pump DLX.

> The Coupler Kit is a pair of straps<br />

that binds two mats together preventing<br />

them from sliping apart. They fit all <strong>Exped</strong><br />

mats and are easy to adjust using<br />

> Versatile mini-mat: a seat cushion for<br />

2005; Pumptube 04 fits mat 2004 and earlier.<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 />

> Modular packsack reshapes to fit your packaging<br />

needs.<br />

> Same fabric and design of other <strong>Exped</strong> mats: high<br />

frequency, welded seams. Textured polyester fabric is<br />

very abrasion and UV resistant, and slip proof.

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 />

> Detach the suspension system to<br />

use Hammat as a conventional<br />

sleeping mat or as a floatable air<br />

mattress.<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 />

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 />

over the pack.<br />
