Raide EX 55L in the colour Black is a technical and durable expedition pack developed for long summit tours, ski expeditions, and demanding mountain adventures. With adjustable volume from 55 to 75 litres, the pack combines the capacity of an expedition rucksack with the functionality of a nimble summit pack. It is designed to carry heavy equipment to basecamp whilst performing well during ski touring itself.

The construction is flexible and makes it straightforward to adapt the volume to the needs of each trip. With up to 75 litres, there is ample room for clothing, food, and expedition equipment on the way in to basecamp. Once camp is established, the pack can be compressed to a depth of just five centimetres, making it far more compact and manoeuvrable on daily summit tours.

The main compartment is accessible through the back panel, making it easy to organise and retrieve equipment without unpacking everything from the top. The pack also features a top opening for quick access to what you need on the go. The patented avalanche rescue equipment access system is designed for rapid and efficient handling of critical safety gear, and builds on solutions from Raide's smaller summit packs, adapted for larger pack volumes and more demanding expeditions.

The removable frame contributes to good weight distribution and carrying comfort when the pack is heavily loaded, and can be removed to reduce weight when skiing from basecamp.

Storage solutions include a dedicated ski skin pocket, a glove strap, and two zippered hipbelt pockets for easy access to energy, a mobile phone, and other small items. A port for a radio or hydration system makes it straightforward to use communication equipment or stay hydrated on the move.

For technical tours, the pack features ice axe and ice tool attachments, carabiner loops, and several external lashing points for additional equipment. Skis can be attached in four different ways, providing flexibility during long approaches and demanding sections where skis must be carried.

Volume: 55 litres, expandable to 75 litres. Intended use: ski expeditions, ski touring, randonnée, basecamp, and demanding mountain trips.
