Product Details
xThe Exped Lightning 45 is an extremely lightweight roll-top backpack for fast-and-light multi-night adventures, offering outstanding comfort, freedom of movement, and load-bearing stability. It has thru-hiking DNA with the carrying capacity of an internal frame pack. Its top-loading roll closure maximizes weatherproofing and allows expansion of the main compartment to accommodate extra gear when needed.
Zig-zag side compression straps and an over-the-top strap with Rapide Hookon the Lighting 45 secure the load to the frame. The Lightning employs a remarkably lightweight suspension system, the backbone of which is a stout, single aluminum stay that is secured to the lumbar pad for direct weight transfer to the user's hips. The padded shoulder yoke, with sternum strap, slides along the stay, allowing a wide range of vertical, micro-adjustment to precisely match the wearer's torso length while reducing contact points to a minimum.
Stretch pouches on each side hold water bottles, trekking poles or tent poles, and zippered stretch pockets on each hip belt wing hold small items for quick access. A weather-resistant-zippered pocket at the top of the frame holds and gives access to a hydration reservoir. A mesh inner pocket keeps valuables secure. A strong top haul loop and, a pair of ice axe loops and central daisy chain with attachment cords make Lightning mountaineering capable.

Size chart
Sizing for all Keela kit
Ensure you get the right fit
You can find below Keela's range of sizing charts on which their garments are based. These are designed to give you an idea of the fit of our items - but please note that some items are designed to be a tighter or looser fit than others (for example, a technical mountain-expedition jacket will be designed looser to fit required padded layering underneath) - so we give extra fit guidance on the individual product pages, as if the item is designed with extra space but you're not planning on layering, you may want to get a smaller size than normal!
Fitment advice
Keela's range is used for everything from running and cycling to conquering mountains, and each item is designed to work best in a specific scenario.
However this can mean that our items fit differently from each other, depending on what you are using them for, and your own personal preferences!
For example if you’re usually a size M and have one of our baselayers in a size M and decide you really MUST have a Munro Jacket for walking your dogs in the pouring rain – if you aren’t planning on wearing multiple bulky layers with the Munro, you’re likely to find the size M too big – this is because it’s designed to survive trips up mountains in the most extreme conditions, where you would need to wear a wicking baselayer, maybe a microfleece, and a thicker fleece or thermal jacket. If you’re not going to wear these layers, you’ll have a lot of extra space!
Still confused? Don’t worry! We’ve added icons to our product pages to let you know how the item fits, and you can follow the extra guidance below to help you decide if you should stick to your normal size, or choose a size up or down.
