Makes every mountain tour a pleasure: The Uphill 8, which weighs just 340 g, is minimalistic and guarantees a high level of comfort. The asymmetrically opening main compartment offers 8 l of volume, and a flat, stretchy mesh pocket and a side pocket secured with a zipper mean you always have access to your cell phone or bar without having to take off your bike backpack. The multifunctional lacing on the front has three functions: stowing a jacket when the backpack is full; compression in depth when you have less luggage and the option to attach hiking poles. To ensure that the body is well ventilated, we have integrated 3D mesh on the back and shoulder straps. Reflective elements, a hydration system outlet and the rain cover in the packing bag round off the features of this multi-talented product. 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 determined holistically and systematically reduced. Currently unavoidable emissions 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.
