Rab Exion 55L Backpack – Comfortable Trekking Pack (Anthracite/Graphene)

Meet the Rab Exion 55L Trekking Pack, a versatile companion designed for 3-season adventures. It strikes a balance between generous capacity and a stable, comfortable carry, thanks to a wrap-around aluminum frame and well-padded contact points that soothe shoulders and hips on longer days on the trail.

Created for solo overnight trips or lighter multi-day excursions, it provides just enough space for essentials without weighing you down. The back panel cushions the lower back, while the shoulder straps and hipbelt are padded to support you as you move across varied terrain. A back-length adjustment helps tailor the fit to different body types, so the pack can feel like a natural extension of you on the move.

Smart design for on-trail versatility

• V-Trax Back System with an aluminum frame for stability and a wrap-around harness that follows your torso.
• Fully adjustable back length, plus forward-pull hipbelt and shoulder strap adjustments to dial in a precise fit.
• Two main entry points: a top lid for quick packing and a side zip for mid-trail layer access.
• Rain cover protects gear in wet weather; trekking pole attachments stay secure and bounce-free.
• Front and side stretch pockets provide quick access to layers and water bottles.

Practical specs you’ll notice

• Volume: 55 liters; Weight: about 4 lb 5 oz; built with 330D Nylon Stripe Dobby and 600D Polyester with hydroshield coatings.

The rain cover is a practical feature for unpredictable conditions, and the front and side pockets make it easy to stash a fleece, rain jacket, or water bottle without unpacking. The pack’s silhouette rides close to the body to minimize sway on uneven terrain. While it may not replace a heavier expedition pack, it offers a thoughtful blend of capacity, comfort, and accessibility for a wide range of trekkers.
