The mountain calls! Whether you're biking and then hiking upwards, the very lightweight 420 g Uphill 16 bike backpack makes every quick mountain tour a pleasure. The minimalist design of the backpack offers full 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 phone or snack without having to take off the backpack. The lacing on the front features a triple function: storing a wind or rain jacket when the backpack is full; compressing in depth with less luggage; and a fastening option for trekking poles. The 3D mesh on the back and shoulder straps ensures good ventilation while biking or hiking. Integrated reflective elements, a hydration system exit, and the rain cover in the pack bag complete the features of this multi-talented backpack. All materials have a high recycling content. The ultra-light, silicone-treated main material of the lightweight backpack uses a certified mass balance process. This process extracts pyrolysis oil from old tires, which is then used in conventional polyamide production. Through chemical recycling, up to 60% CO2 is saved. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for an environmentally friendly, functional product made from sustainable and bluesign® certified materials.
