Exped Impulse Backpack
Impulse is a versatile companion for a wide range of ambitious day tours, from all-day trail runs to alpine mountaineering and day hiking. The zippered main compartment opens wide at the top for easy access to clothing and larger items. Inside are four mesh pockets: one zippered pocket at the top, one pouch on each side of the bottom and a hydration pouch along the foam back. Tube ports on each side and elastic keepers on each shoulder strap accommodate left or right hydration-tube orientation . A small outer zippered pocket and three stretch mesh pouches provide plenty of quick-access external stowage. A lightly padded, double-layer base maintains lower load stability and enhances durability. External daisy chains and EXPED’s exclusive Tool Blade combine to securely transport ice tools and other hardware. A removable compression cord with toggle adjustment compresses the load when necessary. Thermo-formed back panel and padded, contoured shoulder straps are comfortable and quick drying. Impulse 15 is sold with a lightweight waist strap; 20 and 30 liter versions with removeable, low-profile, padded hip belts, each with a small, zippered stretch pocket.
- An over-the-top zipper gives wide-open access to the interior, which houses a zippered mesh pocket and two more open pockets in the lower corners for securing water bottles.
- A hydration reservoir can be hung in the interior and a port allows the tube to exit the pack.
- Impulse is built with super-durable 210-denier Robic HD ripstop nylon and the carbonate polyurethane coating gives it a 2,500mm water column rating for water resistance.
- A small, external zippered pocket on top gives quick access to sunscreen, lip balm, and other small items. Three mesh pockets, one on each side and one on the back, hold a wide variety of items, from water bottles and jackets to trekking poles and snacks.
