VAUDE Backpack Uphill 12

• very light, 12l volume
• breathable carrying system
• eco-friendly manufacturing through innovative recycling of used tyres using a mass balance method

On the bike or on foot, the very light 380g Uphill 12 backpack is a reliable companion over time. Despite its minimalist design, mountain bikers can expect maximum comfort. In addition to the main compartment with an asymmetrical opening of 12l, a flat and elastic mesh pocket and a zipped side pocket allow access to your mobile or an energy bar without needing to remove the bike backpack. The front lacing serves a triple function: carrying a windproof or rain jacket with a full backpack; compression at the bottom for small luggage; and fixing for poles. The 3D mesh on the back and stabilisers ensures good ventilation on the bike or during hikes. Reflective elements cleverly integrated into the design, a hydration system outlet, and a rain cover in a pouch complete the features of this versatile backpack. All materials have a high recycling content. The ultralight, silicone-coated main material of the backpack is produced through a certified mass balance method. Pyrolysis oil used in the production of conventional polyamide is obtained from used tyres. Chemical recycling helps reduce CO2 emissions by 60%. The Green Shape label of VAUDE guarantees an eco-friendly, functional product made from sustainably certified bluesign® materials.
