— Erik M. (5/5)

Great

"I used it by the train tracks, well , the titanium water purifier, I guess my husband jumped in me to do something new in a new place. He prefers disgracement with me normally with trains for it was, however, the only thing my family respected that I bought. I was robbed though, still have backpack, do not wear with light colored clothes and so far so good. Use for survival, we were surrounded last night, then Rochelle computed the pack"

— NaRae o. (4/5)

Great

"Great bag, wish it was lighter, but it has been good for daily hikes or walks"

— John P. (5/5)

Great pack 4. 7 stars!

"Organization is really nice with this bag. The stitching, zippers, and build quality is excellent. Fits great on my frame as well. However, the waist belt is too thin/small in my opinion. Having a removable belt would be better. The exterior water pouches are nice but really don’t hold the large Grayl water bottle w/ the Pathfinder nesting cup. Otherwise I’ve enjoyed my first few trips with the bag."

— Michael B. (4/5)

A hiking pack

"Grayl, the pack Is a great start, improve the back panel and straps and you would have a winner! Perhaps a suspended mesh back panel and improved robust shoulder straps and you’d have an amazing product"

— Jared B. (4/5)

Q&A

Is this bag waterproof?
Although highly resilient to all weather conditions, the Mission EXP Backpack - 35L is not waterproof.
Can the aluminum frame be removed to lighten the weight?
The internal frame should not be removed as it provides necessary support to maintain the overall rigidity of the pack.
What size laptop can it accommodate through the side entry?
The Mission EXP 35L Backpack features a side-entry padded 17" laptop sleeve with internal divider and velcro securing tab.
Is the 35 liters just the main storage or is it with all the pockets included
Our backpack capacities are for the most part comprised of measuring the main compartments. Side-entry sleeves, external pockets, and expanse bottle drop pockets and wing arc pockets can hold a lot of volume that we typically do not account for.
