VAUDE Uphill 12 purple ash

Whether cycling or walking, the very lightweight Uphill 12 bike backpack, weighing just 380 g, is always a reliable companion. Despite its minimalist design, cyclists can count on full comfort. In addition to the asymmetrically opening main compartment with a volume of 12 liters, a flat, stretchy mesh pocket and a zippered side pocket provide access to a phone or energy bar without having to take off the lightweight bike backpack. The front lacing features a three-in-one function: storing a wind or rain jacket when the backpack is full, compressing it when carrying less gear, and providing a way to attach trekking poles. The 3D mesh on the back and shoulder straps ensures good ventilation while biking or hiking. Thoughtfully integrated reflective elements, a hydration system outlet, and the rain cover in the pack bag complete the features of this versatile backpack. All materials have a high recycling content. The ultra-light, siliconized main material of the lightweight backpack is produced using a certified mass balance process. This process involves extracting pyrolysis oil from old tires, which is then used in conventional polyamide production. Through chemical recycling, up to 60% of CO2 emissions are saved. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for an environmentally friendly, functional product made from sustainable and bluesign® certified materials.
