Excellent quality and service

I am an avid outdoors man and was very excited to receive my 8020. Unfortunately it was damaged during delivery and the Expedition customer service team was quick to replace it.

Same color as my Jeep and excited to test the limits of my new 8020!

Life long customer here.

Pack Test!

I am a Professional Ski Patroller and I use you pack to keep my electronics and personal gear dry when patrolling. Most nights when closing resort, snow guns are blaring and I get soaked. Your pack works great keeping things dry....
