Whether you're cycling or walking - the Uphill 12 bike backpack, which weighs just 380 g, is always a reliable companion. Despite its minimalist features, bikers can rely on full comfort. In addition to the asymmetrically opening main compartment with a volume of 12 l, a flat, stretchy mesh pocket and a zippered side pocket offer access to your cell phone or bar without having to remove the lightweight bike backpack. The front lacing has a triple function: stowing a wind or rain jacket when the backpack is full; compression 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 that are thoughtfully integrated into the design, a hydration system outlet and the rain cover in the pack bag complete the features of this universally usable backpack. 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. This product is also climate-neutral: emissions from materials, manufacturing processes and shipping were comprehensively determined and systematically reduced. Emissions that cannot currently be avoided were fully offset by the independent non-profit organization ?myclimate•. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for an environmentally friendly, functional product made from sustainable and bluesign® certified materials.
