Exos Pro and Eja Pro

The Exos and Eja Pro models are each almost half a kilogram lighter than the standard Exos and feature a more sophisticated adjustment system. The Exos and Eja Pro packs are the most comfortable lightweight hiking packs in their weight class. The breathable AirSpeed™ back system, which carries light loads with ease while ensuring maximum air circulation at the back, makes these packs ideal for long-distance hikes on the Appalachian Trail, the Tour Du Mont Blanc and beyond.

When the journey calls for a lightweight backpack but you don’t want to compromise on comfort and carrying capacity, the streamlined Atmos and Aura AG LT series prove that it’s possible to optimize both. From weekend getaways to extended expeditions, the LT Series offers the same body-hugging AntiGravity suspension while maintaining a well thought-out, sleek and capable feature set. Weight has been saved where it counts while maintaining the core features that make both the Atmos and the Aura AG LT so versatile: Integrated rain cover, side zip access, floating lid, reinforced slip pocket and an internal hydration bladder pocket. The durable design with a backpack body made from bluesign®-approved recycled materials delivers what it promises – no matter where the adventure takes you.
