Andi and Heidi, the Exped founders, spent 9 months in the Canadian wilderness back in 1981 living off the land with minimal means. That experience has had its share in bringing Exped to where it stands today.

From drybags and rucksacks to the best sleeping mats on the market, Exped focus on giving you the ultimate protection and comfort when exploring the great outdoors.

A properly insulated sleeping mat is just as important as a sleeping bag! And after all, you spend one third of your time sleeping during your wildest adventures, recovering and preparing to take on the other two thirds. We've designed mats for every user and condition, which bring the comfort of home into the outdoors. For 20 years, Exped mats have revolutionized the outdoor industry with countless innovations and an eye for detail.

There is nothing more annoying than a waterproof drybag that accumulates moisture on the inside instead of keeping it out. This is why no matter how simple an Exped drybag may seem, every detail is designed with care and manufactured with quality and durability in mind.

Exped stuff sacks are manufactured with the best lightweight fabrics and seam tapes, perfect workmanship and feature all the details.

HIGH QUALITY AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

We are on a perpetual search for new materials that offer a balance between sustainability and performance for our products. We must find new alternatives and apply them where needed in order to create long lasting products that offer enduring performance.
All materials used in our products have been tested according to the highest quality and durability standards. EXPED products mainly feature  oeko-tex® 100  or  bluesign®  certified fabrics, buckles and zippers. An increasing number of EXPED products also feature recycled materials. These are materials that have been obtained from previously produced goods - for example, from PET bottles or material waste from textile production. For years, we have also been upcycling and using material scraps that would otherwise have been discarded in other products.
Exped products are exclusively manufactured by highly specialised companies whose factories are industry leaders with the highest levels of workforce and management experience.

REPAIR INSTEAD OF DISCARDING

All EXPED products are designed for maximum longevity with EXPED products carrying a 5-year warranty on defects in materials and workmanship. We repair products in our specialised workshops - even if it is not always economically viable. We process warranty cases and repairs with a professional team in-house in our own workshops. The feedback and data gathered is a valuable source of information for future improvements and innovations - and for long-lasting products. With the mat testing equipment in our repair workshops, our repair team can find even the smallest puncture. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers exceptional and reliable service.

GUARANTEED ANIMAL WELFARE

Exped and the entire supply chain involved are certified under the "Responsible Down Standard" (RDS). RDS dictates that down sourcing originates from producers that do not live-pluck or force-feed the birds.
EXPED commits to source 100% of our wool from RWS certified farmers and suppliers. The “Responsible Wool Standard” (RWS) aims to improve the welfare of sheep and the land they graze on. It is based on the five provisions and animal welfare aims and includes no mulesing.

PACKAGING

All Exped packaging is reduced to a minimum and is made of cardboard free of glue. This reduces the amount of resources needed, conserves our air as the used packaging does not need to be incinerated and reduces the amount of plastics that contaminate our oceans.
