The mountain is calling! Whether you're going up by bike and then on foot: the Uphill 16 bike backpack, which weighs just 420 g, makes every quick mountain tour a pleasure. The backpack's minimalist features offer complete comfort. In addition to the asymmetrically opening main compartment with a volume of 16 l, a flat, stretchy mesh pocket and a zippered side pocket provide access to your cell phone or bar without having to take the backpack off. The lacing on the front scores points with a triple function: stowing a wind or rain jacket when the backpack is full; compression in depth when there's less luggage and an option to attach hiking poles. 3D mesh on the back and shoulder straps ensures good ventilation when biking or hiking. Reflective elements integrated into the design, a hydration system outlet and the rain cover in the pack bag round off the features of this all-rounder. All materials have a high recycled content. A certified mass balance process is used for the ultra-light, siliconized main material of the lightweight backpack. Pyrolysis oil is extracted from old tires and fed into conventional polyamide production. Chemical recycling saves up to 60% CO2. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for an environmentally friendly, functional product made from sustainable and bluesign® certified materials.
