Well made backpack. Planning on

"Well made backpack. Planning on putting to the test this weekend. I like the options it has, and the water bottle carriers are spot on."

— Eric R. (5/5)

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)

I have many products from

"I have many products from grayl All of which are very well made and very well designed Highly recommend there products Haven’t used the backpack yet but from first glance I can see that I won’t be disappointed just all there other products"

— jalal B. (5/5)

Just received it last week

"Just received it last week haven’t really had time to pack it yet so I’m still going to have to experiment with it before I can give an honest review but overall the quality seems nice. It seems very versatile."

— Brian S. (4/5)

A couple of changes and its perfect!

"I came across the pack and a lot of searching to find the options I wanted. I am retiring my Eberlestock X4 High Speed of 12 years mainly because I want something with a little more room. Pros: - Organization. This pack has tons of pockets. Having the laptop pocket on the side was one of my must haves - Build quality. Quality appears good. The bag feels well made - Customer service. They were quick to respond to a question I had. I ordered the bag on Saturday and it was at my door Tuesday afternoon. Not sure if this is because Im just 3 hours south or if their shipping is always that fast Cons: - Hip belt is not removeable. This bag will be used for airline travel and visiting industrial sites so no hip belt needed. Im very temped to cut it off. . . - Padding. I feel like the padding, although adequate, will not breath like the material used in my Eberlestock or my Kelty Falcon packs which use a very porous foam type material that seems to offer very little resistance to air. The padding on this pack seems more like your basic low density foam. The pack is comfortable, but, it is winter time so we will see how it breaths in the summer -Adjustability. I would expect more adjustability for a pack in this price range, not a one size fits all. Overall: While my complaints are minor and not a deal breaker yet, summer time will help me decide if I really like it or not. I think a 300. 00 plus pack should offer more adjustability and the other options mentioned to make this pack great. For close to 30 years I have traveled all over the world and my Eberlestock X4 High Speed has about 2,000,000 of those miles. It has plenty of life left in it, but, my needs have changed and its time to move on. My short list included the Eberlastock Switchblade, Eberlastock Fade Adjust, Mystery Ranch Blitz, Kelty Redwing tactical, Kelty Redwing Traveler and the Veria Islander Savvy. This bag met most of my requirements including what I thought at the time was the removeable hip belt. The Eberlastock and the Kelty Tactical had the best adjustments, but lacked in other areas where the Mission EXP shined. Would I recommend this pack to friends or coworkers? Sure. All in all it is a good pack. Make the changes mentioned above and this pack would have a spot at the top of the list all by itself. @Grayl - If you made those changes, Id be hard pressed not to buy the upgraded pack! This pack will be used every day for work and travel."

— Mongo (4/5)

Very well made bag and

"Very well made bag and it is bigger than I thought it would be"

— daniel b. (5/5)

Rugged. Smart. Built for the Wild

"If you're looking for the ultimate adventure backpack, this delivers on every front! It has that rare balance of being minimalist yet fully functional. Whether you're trekking through remote backcountry, hopping on planes, or navigating urban chaos, this bag performs like a champ- and looks good doing it. The shoulder straps are super comfortable even when the bag is fully loaded, and the back panel breathes well-huge plus on hot days. This pack is built like a tank and feels virtually indestructible. It shrugs off rain, dirt, and abuse without blinking. I’ve used it in pouring rain, mountains, dusty trails, and overhead compartments-it hasn’t flinched once. Makes organizing gear super easy and accessible. Highly recommended for serious adventurers, minimalist travelers, and anyone tired of fragile, overcomplicated bags."

— Misty L. (5/5)

Motivates you to get outdoors

"This backpack definitely packs a ton of inspiration. There are a ton of pocket organization options with the ad on mod attachments. The options are endless and create a nice opportunity to customize the pack exactly how you want it. I would absolutely buy this again. It holds 2-3 of my Grayl bottles too."

— Justin J. (5/5)

Sleek and comfortable

"This bag not only looks great but feels great on your back. I love the amount of pockets it has on the outside that are easy access."

— Alex H. (5/5)

Price extremely high

"Are you serious with this price? there are 100 others backpacks more or less like this at 1/10 from this price. For example many from Solognac."

— Alex (1/5)

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.
