Exped is a Swiss outdoor brand founded in 1983 by adventurers Heidi and Andi Brun after spending nine months in the Canadian wilderness. The company is based on the philosophy of maximising the outdoor experience with the minimum amount of equipment. What began as a distributor of other outdoor brands transitioned in 1997 to become an innovative product brand that launched its own products. Today, they design and manufacture premium equipment for expeditions and adventures that place high demands on equipment. Outnorth's range of Exped products includes sleeping pads, tents, sleeping bags, pack bags, and down boots.

Minimalist Design and Attention to Detail
Many of the products from Exped are meticulously designed, without unnecessary frills. Minimalist design is recurring, with a focus on details which creates well-thought-out equipment where you get what you need and nothing else. A maximal outdoor experience, with minimal means, as they themselves say. Something that is clearly timely.
The World's First Waterproof Sleeping Bag
Exped started as a distributor of other brands within outdoor life in the early 80s. In 1997, they began manufacturing their own product line of tents and sleeping bags. The company quickly set a high bar with its innovative and high-quality products. Since then, the product range has expanded, and the company has developed to manufacture all kinds of accessories for outdoor life and expeditions. Among them is the world’s first genuinely waterproof sleeping bag, which they launched in the early 2000s.
