Rab Exion 55L Backpack – Comfortable Trekking Pack with Adjustable Back Length (Anthracite/Graphene)

Overview

Meet the Rab Exion 55L backpack, a versatile partner for 3-season treks and lighter multi-day trips. Built around a sturdy aluminum frame, it delivers a stable carry even when the trail gets uneven. The wrap-around harness and contoured lumbar padding work together to distribute weight and minimize fatigue across long miles. With an adjustable back length, forward-pull hipbelt, and versatile shoulder straps, you can dial in a fit that feels natural, whether you're a medium or large back length rider.

Inside, the 55-liter capacity gives you room for the essentials plus a few creature comforts. The two access points—the quick-access top lid and the convenient side zipper—let you grab layers or a rain shell without unpacking everything. When weather turns, the built-in rain cover protects your pack and its contents from moisture, and you can stow away your pack's weather gear in large stretch pockets on the front and sides for quick access on the move.

Key benefits

• V-Trax Back System with a wrap-around harness provides a stable, balanced carry and enhanced support across long routes.
• Fully adjustable fit: back length, shoulder straps, and a forward-pull hipbelt tailor the pack to your torso and hips.
• Trek-friendly extras: rain cover seals out rain, trekking-pole attachments stay secure, fixed lid with external/internal pockets, and a secondary U-shaped front zipper for on-trail access.
• Durable materials: 330D Nylon Stripe Dobby with Hydroshield coating and 600D Polyester offer weather-ready resilience for regular use.

Real-world use and comfort

Ring-fenced pockets and stretch panels invite easy organization. On a solo overnight or a light three-season trek, you’ll appreciate quick access points when you need a layer, a light shell, or your water bottle without stopping for a full unpack. The back-length adjust and hipbelt design aim to keep weight centered on the hips, reducing shoulder fatigue as you climb, descend, and traverse varied terrain.

In practice, the Exion shines as a reliable, adaptable pack that can grow with your itinerary. It emphasizes comfort, practical access, and weather protection, while keeping a streamlined silhouette that won’t feel bulky on the trail.
