The BaseCamp XL is designed for winter travel when increased capacity and stability are required without sacrificing control. Built on the same predictable sled and harness system as the BaseCamp, the XL offers additional length and load volume to support heavier expedition setups, group hauling, and professional or institutional use. In crusty, icy, and variable snow conditions, it tracks true, allowing direct travel, controlled descents, and confident movement through complex terrain.
Increased length and capacity for heavier or bulkier loads
Predictable tracking in crust, ice, and variable snow
Side-mounted pole geometry stays clear of hips and legs
Fully adjustable front and rear harness
One-piece duffel removal for fast transitions
Backpack carry for portages, travel, and crossings
Modular, serviceable sled system
The BaseCamp XL features a 59-inch sled hull made from High-Density Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE). This material is chosen for its impact resistance, flexibility in extreme cold, and long-term durability under heavier loads and repeated use in harsh winter environments.
The fully adjustable front and rear harness keeps the poles positioned at your sides regardless of waist size. This geometry improves balance, reduces interference while skiing or walking, and maintains consistent tracking even when hauling larger or heavier loads over uneven terrain.
The extended sled length accommodates larger load volumes and bulkier gear configurations while retaining the same one-piece duffel removal system. Two buckles allow the entire load to be removed from the sled at once, keeping transitions efficient even with heavier setups.
Wide nylon straps allow the sled to be carried as a backpack when terrain or logistics require it—for river crossings, pressure ridges, portages, or travel through airports and other transit environments.
