The mountain is calling! Whether you're going uphill by bike or on foot, the very light 420 g Uphill 16 bike backpack makes every fast mountain tour a pleasure. The minimalist features of the rucksack 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 remove the backpack. The drawstring on the front scores with a triple function: stowing a wind or rain jacket when the rucksack is full; compression in depth with less luggage and attachment option for 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 used tires and fed into the conventional polyamide production process. 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.
