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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncreased length and capacity for heavier or bulkier loads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePredictable tracking in crust, ice, and variable snow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide-mounted pole geometry stays clear of hips and legs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully adjustable front and rear harness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne-piece duffel removal for fast transitions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackpack carry for portages, travel, and crossings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModular, serviceable sled system\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It’s Built\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHull\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BaseCamp XL features a 59-inch sled hull made from High-Density Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE).
