EXPEDITION BERNINA 2013

EXP products accompanied us on our trip to the Bernina. We soon found
that we could rely on them, even under extreme conditions.
Three days, four peaks and lasting memories of a lonely, sublime mountain
world. We crossed the Piz Bernina and Piz Pal in October in early-winter
conditions; new snow had only recently fallen. In summer this tour is often
crowded with people, but we didnt see another soul for three days. An unforgettable experience.
Present at our Bernina Tour:
Ruby EXP, Pacy EXP, Summiter EXP, Barrel EXP, Coban Jacket, Islington Pants

HIKING

Uncompromising trekking rucksack for the highest requirements. When it comes to durability and performance,
the Bison 75 EXP is in a class of its own. It is made of Cordura, which means it is lightweight, tear and wear-proof
all at the same time. The heavy load expert has the X1 carrying system, which was developed specifically for loads
above 25 kg. Nor do the features leave anything to be desired: a large zip-up front opening, height-adjustable lid
with material attachments and a front pocket with a heat-sealed zip are just a few of the details.

shoulder straps and without the carrying system.
