Exped was created in 1983 after the founders, Heidi and Andi, spent nine months living off the land in the Canadian wilderness. Being so intensely immersed in the outdoors helped create the brand as it stands today, with the vision to "maximum outdoor experiences with minimal means" with the ultimate goal to "be one with nature". Their main Switzerland HQ neighboring the infamous Alps has grown to deliver products all over the world, with the USA HQ in Tacoma, WA providing top of the line gear that keeps you safe and comfortable, without all the extra bells and whistles. Guaranteed to sleep like a log, their simple yet technical gear motivates you to push the limits of adventure and explore in any season, anywhere.
