Exped‘s partners, Pertex, has been awarded the first ever Backpacker Editors‘Choice 2003 Award for its Endurance fabric (waterproof and breathable). Exped has used Pertex Endurance in its "WB" sleeping bags for years because we knew all along what others are just now confirming! But, perhaps the biggest news is that Exped itself is the recipient of this most prestigious Backpacker Editors" Choice Award for the Sirius Extreme tent. Equally impressive is that Exped is the very first, non-US tent company to receive this important award.
