The maximum outdoor experience with minimal means.

Story of the Exped 

Goose 

In 1981, deep in the 

wilderness of the 

Northwest Canadian 

Territories, Exped 

founders Andi and 

Heidi Brun lived for 9 

months using simple 

tools and food gathered 

from Nature. Nothing 

impressed them 

more than the serene 

movements of the wild 

geese flying over head. 

Who in the world is Exped? 

Exped means Expedition Equipment. 

Since 1997, the Exped Team has 

designed and built the highest quality, 

specialized gear for the active, outdoor 

enthusiast. Such equipment is designed 

to appeal to everyone from the casual 

hiker of the Appalachian Trail to the 

technical climber in the Himalayas. 

Every user expects his equipment to 

meet exacting requirements, and at 

Exped, we build products intended to 

surpass those expectations!

a > Easy setups: 

- slide poles into sleeves 

- secure poles into pockets 

- tension. 

And that’s it! 

Continuous sleeves allow poles to 

easily pass through intersections. 

Canopies are factory mounted, and 

just a few stakes and guy lines are 

needed to pitch any Exped tent. 

Color coded poles and sleeves 

eliminate guesswork. 

Reflective, glow-in-the-dark zipper 

pulls are easy to locate. 

Round shaped doors are easily 

operated with just one hand. 

2 types of pole sleeves: 

Exterior sleeves for easy setups; or, 

interior sleeves for better weather 

protection and reduced wind 

resistance. 

Models with the Exped-developed 

“flat pole sleeves“ offer advantages 

of both interior and exterior 

sleeves. [Vela I, Vela II, Venus II 

Extreme, Sirius, Andromeda]

What makes Exped tents so unique? 

b > Strong and weatherproof: bombproof 

shelters are created by 

combining wind shedding designs 

with strategically placed, dual 

guy points on each sleeve. Lines 

attach directly to pole structures for 

superior stability in any weather. 

Enhanced aerodynamics with Flat or 

Interior Pole Sleeve designs. 

Totally waterproof shelters with 

factory taped seams, polyester core/ 

cotton wrap thread, and taped or 

seamless bathtub floors.

Features 

Attention paid to every detail... 

c 

< d 

< e 

f > 

< a 

c > Excellent ventilation: even in rainy 

conditions, condensation is kept to 

a minimum by large opposed vents. 

This design promotes a chimney 

effect to maintain air circulation. 

No-See-Um panels on the canopy‘s 

doors adjust from inside the tent 

to control ventilation. Careful 

attention to design ensures there is 

no contact between fly and canopy. 

e > Integrity: Keep it simple and 

reduce weight - care is taken to 

use simple, proven designs and 

hardware. Examples include toggle 

and loop connectors and adjustable 

pole tension pockets. Of course, field 

repairability goes without saying! 

f > Natural, pleasing colors: warm 

yellow interiors are pleasant and 

relaxing, even when stormy weather 

keeps you inside the tent. 

Earthy, green color rainflies blend 

with nature; or, bright, terracotta 

color rainflies are easily spotted in 

bad weather or from a distance. 

d > Loads of space: unique Exped designs maximize 

usable interior space with steep side walls and 

large, protected vestibules. Vestibules provide ample 

space for storage and cooking*. Models with 

dual vestibules and entrances offer easy access 

and eliminate “trauma by kick“ to a sleeping tent 

mate. At least one inner door is large enough for 

two people to sit next to one another. 

Canopies can be unhooked to increase vestibule 

space. Loops and pockets keep the tent tidy. 

*If cooking inside the vestibule, always prime and 

light stoves at a safe distance from the tent.

Multi-functional and simple use: 

- Inner canopies can stay attached to 

rainfly at all times; 

- Rainfly can be used alone for storage 

or for basic shelter; 

- Inner canopy can be used alone in 

clear weather, with or without a tarp 

cover (pole pockets at the corners enable 

this configuration); 

- Unhook part of the canopy to increase 

the space beneath the fly; 

- Numerous zipper sliders allow the 

door to be opened in many different 

positions. 

Freestanding and spacious: 

- Most models are either freestanding 

or require just a few stakes*. Such 

designs enable Exped tents to be easily 

moved to a new location or to be 

cleaned by shaking overhead. Developed 

by Exped, the “ridge tunnel tent“ 

is a new type of structure that combines 

a Tunnel design‘s maximum usable 

space with the Dome‘s freestanding 

capability. 

*With any tent, a few stakes ensure 

that a tent is not carried off by 

the wind. 

Easy maintenance: 

- Tent poles‘ end caps remove easily 

to adjust the shock cord in changing 

weather conditions or to replace 

a broken pole section. 

- Pole tension pockets are made with 

strong, but simple materials (webbing 

and a small pole section). In 

the event of a failure, such materials 

can be repaired any place and do not 

depend upon plastic parts that can 

break at the worst times. 

- All Exped tents include spare parts: 

zipper sliders, adhesive patch fabric, 

and emergency pole repair segments. 

Easy packing: 

- Specific length pole sections allow 

the packed tent to fit square into 

most large packs, and uniform length 

pole sections mean that just one section 

can address most any situation; 

- Long, narrow accessory pockets occupy 

small spaces when packed; 

- Side entry packsacks surround the 

rolled tent without effort or strain. 

Quality materials: 

- Non-Extreme models‘ rainfly fabric is 

strong, lightweight ripstop polyester: 

UV-resistant and meets CPAI-84 flame 

retardant guidelines. Extra strong PU 

coatings on the fabric‘s underside offer 

long wearing waterproofness. 

Practical packsack. Versatile. Freestanding. Field maintainable. 

- Extreme models‘ fly fabric is a strong, 

super lightweight, double silicone 

coated ripstop nylon with improved 

UV- and tear-resistance. However, 

silicone coated fabrics do not meet 

CPAI-84 fire retardant guidelines. (See 

tent models for specifics). 

- All Floors are made from durable, taffeta 

nylon with heavy PU coatings; 

have a waterproof rating of 14+ PSI 

(10,000+ mm) water pressure; and are 

either factory seam taped or seamless 

to maximize strength. 

- Mosquito netting is an ultra fine, very 

UV-resistant No-See-Um polyester. 

- Poles are state-of-the-art extruded, 

seamless aircraft DAC 7001-T6 aluminum 

- very rigid but soft enough to 

yield in strong wind. DAC poles snap 

back to position without breakage or 

damage to the fly. And DAC poles are 

less likely to burr if they do snap together. 

- Reliable YKK zippers in the fly and canopy 

are sewn smooth side out to reduce 

exposure to dirt, which could 

cause premature wear. 

- Aircraft aluminum stakes are provided 

in two grades: V-profile stakes for 

hard ground; ultra lightweight, Uprofile 

stakes for soft earth. 

- Ample Guy Lines include special, adjustable 

tensioners that secure around 

most fixed objects without complicated 

knots. Key lines are provided with 

Exped‘s own, Cord Stuffsacks (also 

available separately). 

- Guy Lines and Zipper Pulls feature silver 

colored threads to improve visibility 

and help avoid accidents. Zipper 

Pulls glow, and are color coded and 

reflective for easy handling. Sheaths 

and cores can be separated to increase 

usable length. 

Quality workmanship: 

- Lap-felled seams (4 inter-wrapped fabric 

layers) are single or double factory 

taped. Stress points are reinforced 

with extra-duty patches and 

are sewn with crossover stitching to 

better distribute forces over larger 

areas of fabric. 

- Thread used throughout is ‘polyester 

core, cotton wrap’ that expands when 

wet to fill needle holes in edges, 

ground reinforcements and silicone 

treated fabrics.

Warranty and service: 

Exped tents carry a 5 year, 

limited warranty on 

defects in workmanship 

and materials. At its 

discretion, Exped will repair 

or replace any part 

that fails due to manufacturing 

defect. Failures 

due to normal wear, negligence, 

accidents and 

acts of nature can usually 

be repaired for a nominal 

charge. Please see 

your outdoor retailer for 

details or contact Exped.

a > Large vestibule, easily accessed from inside Vela I, is large 

enough for all the gear. The door is easily raised to offer a view 

but still protect from the elements. 

b > Large floor plan is especially long and wide, making it possible 

to bring gear inside or to help out a stranded, second person. 

c > Ventilation is maximized with the storm proof design. The rainfly 

can be rolled up from either end, and both ends of the canopy 

have easily accessed, mesh windows. The roof has a hood 

protected vent to improve the chimney effect. And the foot end 

is aerodynamically shaped to be completely tied down to face a 

high wind. 

d > Tie down loops attached to the pole sleeves offer maximum 

efficiency. 

e > Ingenious, flat pole sleeve improves aerodynamics in wind and 

rain. Double seams and stitching offer extreme strength.

wait out a rainy day, store extra gear, or cook in the vestibule. [If you must 

cook inside Solestar, always prime and light stoves at a safe distance from the 

tent]. 

b > Solestar stands taut with just two arches and three stakes. Poles and sleeves

Calling all enthusiasts... want to travel light? Need fast set up? Demand years of use? 

Then Sirius is the tent for you! Just ask the experts at Backpacker (USA) and Outdoor 

Magazin (Germany)! 

Sirius 

+ Sirius Extreme: Fast! Light! Sturdy! 

> Sirius Extreme was barely a reality by the time it had received 2 major awards: 

Backpacker (USA) bestowed its coveted “Editors‘ Choice 2003“ (first time ever 

to a non-US tent company); and Outdoor Magazin (Germany) where it garnered 

highest ranking in its in depth, tunnel tent test! 

“The air is definitely 

thinner in the ranks for 

top of the line tents,

- Backpacker, April 2003 

> Flat pole sleeve 

reduces resistance to 

wind, snow and driving 

rain. 

a > Fast and easy setup: Exped’s innovative flat sleeves are accessed 

from outside the fly and end with adjustable tension pole 

pockets. And with the canopy already attached, setup goes 

quickly: slide poles into the sleeves; seat ends into the pockets; 

tension. With just 4 stakes to set, sleep is not far off! 

b > Storm proof: Flat pole sleeve technology makes Sirius more 

aerodynamic and strengthens the pole sleeve seams. For bad 

weather conditions, ample loops and pre-mounted guy lines are 

included (stored in Cord Stuffsacks). Double guy line loops grip 

the pole sleeves to keep the fly from flapping in bad weather. 

c > Large, adjustable door: tucks away into a side pocket; opens 

to a variety of positions for ventilation; or, use poles and guy 

lines for covered protection. A side wing can also be used as an 

entrance. 

d > Venting and viewing: windows open completely from inside 

Sirius and are reinforced with mosquito netting to block the 

bugs. Windows help to reduce condensation in rain, and simple 

supports of pole repair tube keep the vents open at all times. 

e > Easy handling all the time: zippers have color coded, reflective, 

glow-in-the-dark pulls and are easily operated with one hand. 

f > Multi-Use: Canopy is easily unhooked and pushed back for some 

extra floor space, or it separates easily for use as a lightweight, 

bug shelter. Rainfly offers basic shelter when reduced weight 

is needed. And of course used complete... the award winning 

design of the Sirius Extreme!

also helps minimize condensation in rain. Window 

supports keep ports open at all times and conceal 

small sections of pole repair tube.

Arc Tarp is a protective cover for rain or a shady spot for sun. Use it to cover gear, bikes 

and visitors. Used with two poles, Arc Tarp creates a large, airy covered area. Without 

poles, it is a huge tarp. Width and height adjust - depending on configuration. 

> Lots of space with 

minimal weight: With 

little effort, Arc Tarp 

attaches quickly to most 

tents and creates added 

covered space. Ideally 

suited for use with Exped 

Sirius, Orion, Venus, 

Andromeda, Auriga, 

Southern Cross, Solestar, 

Venus III, Cassiopeia and 

Big Bear.

> Fast setup: slide 

one or both poles into 

sleeves and fix into the 

tension pockets. Secure 

the cord web to the tent 

with the mini-biners and 

stake down the guylines. 

That’s it! 

> Flat pole sleeves 

reduce wind resistance, 

while making Arc Tarp 

easier to use. Double 

stitched, parallel seams 

offer extra strength.

Numerous applications: 

> Width and height are variable by 

adjusting the radius of the arc. 

> With two poles, Arc Tarp can be set 

up alone to create a large sheltered 

area. 

> Sun screen for the garden or beach. 

> Set up between two tents, two Arc 

Tarps facing one another create a 

huge family shelter to reduce the 

need for a special family tent. 

> As a standing height rainfly over a 

netting tent, e.g. Southern Cross or 

any Exped tent canopy. 

> As kitchen tent for cooking or 

dining. 

b 

a > Fast set up: A cord running through loops at 

backside with numerous mini-carabiners attaches 

easily and tightly to any ‚mother tent‘. 

b > Reinforced guyline loops are set directly onto the 

pole sleeves for extra stability. Inner and outer 

guyline loops make Arc Tarp extremely versatile. 

c > Cord Stuffsacks eliminate the chaos of tangled 

lines. 

d > Fabric is ripstop polyester with a thick PU coating 

and factory taped seams. Fabric is also UV 

resistant, DWR treated and flame retardant. 

e > Besides being a tent extension or tarp with poles, 

Arc Tarp functions well as a lightweight traditional 

tarp, when the poles are left at home. 

> Arc Tarp is the ideal family tent solution: instead 

of a big family tent, just connect 2 smaller tents 

with 1 or even 2 Arc Tarps. And when the kids 

grow older and want their own tent, let them have 

one of the small tents on their own.

which also divides 

the baffle into three 

chambers to prevent 

down shift. 

p > Mat loops: To prevent

Connectivity: Left and 

right zips connect 2+ 

bags together, whether 

for comfort or emergency 

warming. YKK #8 left-push 

zippers (#5 in center zip 

models) connect with most 

high quality sleeping bags. 

3D baffle design: 

Horizontal and vertical 

baffles prevent down shift 

and eliminate cold spots. 

Baffles, constructed of 

fine tricot mesh, easily 

stand up to the strain of 

washing.

Smart accessories: 

sleeping bags include a 

storage sack of ultrafine, 

No-See-Um netting that 

does double duty as 

bug protection or as a 

laundry bag. Stuff sacks, 

when included, fold 

into themselves to save 

space. 

Complete sleeping 

system: two bags paired 

together create a flexible 

‘system‘ that adapt to 

a variety of adventure 

situations. Consider a 

down inner with either 

a synthetic outer or 

compact bivy bag. Exped 

considered compatibility 

and sizing when 

designing its sleeping 

bags - some bags are cut 

large to accept a second, 

inner bag. And, Exped‘s 

WB-series bags do it all: 

insulation and comfort 

in a waterproof and 

breathable design. 

Complete sleeping system. 

Optimal fit: a complete range of 

sleeping bags to fit most adults, 

depending on body size and sleeping 

behaviour. (Remember: an improperly 

sized sleeping bag can be cold if too 

large or tight, so try it for fit before 

buying). 

Tested materials: Exped uses well 

tested materials from both lab 

and field. Independent labs use 

internationally recognized standard 

tests to evaluate down fill power and 

quality, water vapor transmission, 

water column, water repellency, 

abrasion resistance and tear 

resistance. Down tests are offered by 

the renowned IDLF (Salt Lake City, 

Utah, USA) with each production run. 

(Test results available on request). 

Field tests are conducted by outdoor 

professionals, including Erhard Loretan 

(Himalaya expeditionist with all 14 

8000 m summits), Christof Hagen 

(wilderness and survival expert), Serge 

Lambert (professional mountain guide 

with over 30 years of experience), 

and, Martin Epp (mountain guide and 

wilderness professional). Of course, 

numerous other outdoor experts and 

the Exped team also contribute. 

No cold spots. 

Connectivity. 

Tested Temperature ratings according 

to EN 13597: 

The new, Euro-Norm temperature rating 

for sleeping bags is designed to provide 

comparability between different 

bags and across brands. A certified laboratory 

measures the heat loss in a 

climate chamber using a dummy attached 

to 16 sensors. Men and women 

have different comfort experiences 

when exposed to the same temperature 

conditions, hence there is a different 

comfort rating given for women than 

for men. The “Lower Extreme” temperature 

is defined as the point at which 

a man gets cold but without shivering. 

The “Upper Comfort” temperature 

is defined as the point at which one 

begins to feel so hot that the sleeping 

must be opened to vent. Note: The results 

for a given sleeping bag can vary 

between different individuals. 

The waterpoof WB (WaterBloc) 

Series: The agony of choice is over: 

Down or Synthetic filled sleeping bags? 

Historically, goose down filled bags 

offered higher quality and features, 

but synthetics performed better in wet 

conditions. 

Tuck-stitch design. 

But now, at least this dilemma is 

history, because Exped has delivered 

a unique, waterproof and breathable 

goose downfill collection of sleeping 

bags: Ibis WB, Woodpecker WB, Swan 

WB and Arctic Goose WB! 

Exped solved this problem by replacing 

sewn seams with high-frequency 

welded seams. Thousands of needle 

holes that allowed water to reach the 

goose down and rendered the bag 

useless are now gone! Warm air is 

stopped from being pushed out during 

sleep. And seams are double welded 

for added strength and durability. 

The WBs are both waterproof and 

vapor permeable. Even in the worst 

weather conditons, there are no 

problems with condensation due to 

vapor emitted by the body. 

31 

Still a skeptic? Then don‘t take our word 

for it! Highly respected, outdoor experts 

were eager to test a “WB“ bag, and all 

were quickly sold! Here‘s what a few of 

them said: 

Christof Hagen, founder of Survival- 

Outdoor-School SOS, offers: “Especially 

for my igloo courses, where melt water 

and condensation are totally normal, I 

always used synthetic filled bags. The 

Swan WB made me change my habits.“ 

Stephan Sigrist, extreme mountain 

climber and UIAA Mountain Guide, 

states “The WB [sleeping bag] was a 

super 1AA++ choice for me, even in cold 

and humid Patagonia a bivy bag was 

unnecessary.“ 

Warranty and Repair Service: Every 

Exped sleeping bag carries a 5 year, 

limited warranty. Products with defects 

in materials and workmanship will be 

repaired or replaced. Please contact your

Never underestimate the sleeping mat; 

in fact, some consider it more important 

than the sleeping bag! 

Exped sleeping pads will draw you into restful slumber. With six, remarkably 

comfortable collections, the hardest decision is knowing which pad to leave at home! 

Consider the overview; then decide. 

To properly insulate against cold 

ground, a pad should provide both 

insulation and comfort that comes 

from full body support. Consider the 

following: a mat‘s R-value (lab test); 

a sleeping bag‘s temperature rating; 

personal sleeping habits; and, your 

current gear! Exped pads are made 

from polyurethane-laminated cloth 

(an airtight film instead of the more 

common lightweight coating), which 

is high frequency welded. Fabrics are 

highly abrasion resistant. Comfortable, 

textured surfaces prevent slipping but 

still permit normal turning during the 

night. Dark colors dry 

quickly, and storage sacks, 

included with most pads, 

are generously sized for 

easy packing.

Exped Downmats: super comfortable, infinitely warmer and more compact than any other 

comparable mat of similar weight. Since down compresses so well, Downmats also packs 

very small. Unique pump-packsack doubles as both bellows-pump and pillow. 

> Heat loss is dramatically reduced with down insulation inside the mat, as demonstrated by 

EMPA, the Swiss Federal Labaratories for Materials Testing and Research, and field tests by 

expeditions. The thick cushion of air also provides comfort and smooths out uneven ground. And 

as down compresses extremely well, Downmats packs smaller than other insulated pad. 

> Unique Pump- 

Packsack: just connect 

the valves and simple, 

safe inflation is in the 

bag! Use the packsack 

to prevent humidity 

from reaching the down, 

which otherwise could 

cause the goose down to 

clump or freeze.

pillow. (Packsack can 

be fixed to the mat). 

The sack is completely 

waterproof. Downmats 

can be filled with as few 

as 10 pumps (about 2 

minutes). The inflation 

process is assisted by 

the down‘s tendency to 

expand (once in camp, 

just lay out Downmat 

with valves open).

> For Downmat 9 Exped received the 

2002/3 European Outdoor Award, 

Europe‘s most prestigious outdoor 

award. Presented by Europe‘s leading 

outdoor magazines, there is just 

one winner each year. Besides the 

mat‘s sheer warmth, this award was 

presented to Exped in recognition of 

the Downmat‘s superb performance and 

overall value. 

a > Two wide mouth valves ensure fast inflation and 

simple deflation. Just one quarter turn closes the 

valve. 

b > Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the 

mats‘ chambers eliminate cold spots and promote 

a stable and supportive air cushion. 

c > Light foam blocks at the mat‘s ends prevent down 

from escaping or migrating between chambers. 

d > Laminated polyester fabric is both durable and 

airtight. Top surface of honeycomb textured fabric 

provides superior slip resistance and comfort 

next to the skin. Seams and valves are all highfrequency 

welded (most secure method of fusing 

fabrics and materials) to ensure mat integrity. 

Dark colors dry quickly. 

> For use as a pillow, 2 loops at head end can be 

used to secure the packsack to the mat. 

> Light and warm: According to EMPA‘s test 

(SOP00749) the 9 cm Downmats offer a heat 

resistance value of 1.6. At about the same weight, 

a standard 2.5 cm self inflating mat offers a value 

of 0.5, or, just 1/3 that of the Downmat! Further 

EMPA tests demonstrated that regular mats lose 

3x more heat to cold ground than to the air. The 

conclusion: use a lighter weight sleeping bag with 

a Downmat to achieve consistent overall comfort, 

and still reduce weight and bulk! 

> Exped uses only IDFL-certified, 700 in 3 /oz goose 

down, treated with Nocar to eliminate the effects 

of humidity that may reach the mat‘s interior.

Materials and workmanship: 

> Extruded, aircraft quality 7075-T6 

aluminum - the ideal pole alloy with 

exceptional stiffness and good rebound 

characteristics. 

> Unlike other pole designs, Exped 

shafts are anodized both inside and 

outside to create an even harder, 

stronger alloy. And while Exped poles 

are more scratch-resistant, the extra 

anodizing also gives them a truly 

ultimate protection against corrosion. 

> Extremely hard, carbide steel tip for 

improved grip on solid rock and ice. 

> Grips are made from comfortable and 

lightweight closed-cell EVA foam. 

> Special expander with dual contact 

areas for fast and secure locking. 4section 

poles feature a maintenance 

free, push-button system on the lower 

segments - very nice since the lower 

segments are rarely adjusted.

Whether you hike, trek, ski, climb or snowshoe - telescoping poles offer stability and 

support. Exped trekking poles save energy and reduce joint strain, especially when
