• Whether on a bike or on foot, the lightweight 380g Uphill 12 bike backpack is a reliable companion for the long haul. Despite its minimalist equipment, mountain bikers can expect maximum comfort. In addition to the main compartment with its asymmetrical 12-liter opening, a flat, elasticated mesh pocket and a zipped side pocket provide access to a cell phone or energy bar without having to remove the bike backpack. The front lacing offers a triple function: carrying a windproof or rain jacket with a full backpack; compression in the bottom for smaller luggage; and pole attachment. The 3-D mesh on the back and stabilizers ensures good ventilation on the bike or when hiking. Reflective elements remarkably integrated into the design, a hydration system outlet and a rain cover in a pocket complete the features of this universal backpack. Tous materials have a high recycled content. The backpack's ultra-light silicone-coated main material is obtained using a certified mass balance method. The pyrolysis oil used in the manufacture of conventional polyamide is obtained from used tires. Chemical recycling reduces CO2 emissions by 60%. The Green Shape label from VAUDE guarantees an ecological, functional product made from bluesign®-certified sustainable materials.
