Robust and versatile comfort despite its low weight

The Exped Thunder 70 is a versatile and comfortable 70-liter hiking backpack , designed for multi-day trips and longer hiking adventures where high packing volume, flexible access and stable carrying comfort are essential. Despite its generous volume, the Thunder 70 is surprisingly light in relation to its function and load capacity , making it an obvious choice for demanding tours.

Three access options – maximum flexibility

The Thunder 70 stands out with its three separate access routes to the main compartment , which makes packing and handling exceptionally smooth:

Top loading via classic top opening

Front opening with panel access for quick overview of contents

Side access to reach equipment without unpacking

This combination provides superior accessibility , even when the backpack is fully packed. A height-adjustable, floating lid allows volume to be customized as needed and accommodates oversized gear when needed.

Well organized for long trips

In addition to the main compartment, the Thunder 70 offers:

Large stretch outer pocket on the front

Two spacious stretch side pockets

Pockets on the hip belt for quick access small items

The functional compression straps on the sides stabilize the load and can also be moved to the front, creating extra attachment points for, for example, a sleeping pad or tent.

Comfort carrying system with high freedom of movement

The Thunder 70 is equipped with a sophisticated comfort carrying system with minimal contact points , which provides good ventilation and high freedom of movement. A height-adjustable carrying system allows the backpack to be easily adapted to your back length, while a strong aluminum strut ensures effective load transfer to the hip - even when packing heavily.

The well-padded hip belt provides extra stability and comfort during long days on the trail.

Durable and weather-resistant construction

The Thunder 70 is made from recycled 210D Robic HD ripstop nylon , which is both durable and water-repellent. The PU-coated fabric protects your gear from the elements, while the material selection is PFC-free and Oeko-Tex® 100 certified , making the backpack a sustainable choice for long-term outdoor use.
