Vaude Uphill 8 Rugzak – Black

Lightweight bike backpack

• very light, 8 l volume
• air-permeable carrying system
• Climate-neutral; environmentally friendly production through innovative used tire recycling using a mass balance process

Makes every mountain tour a pleasure: Very light at 340 g, the Uphill 8 is minimalist while ensuring a high level of comfort. The asymmetrically opening main compartment offers 8 l volume, through a flat stretch mesh pocket and a zippered side pocket you always have access to your phone or bar without having to remove the bike backpack. The multi-function lacing on the front has three functions: Stowing a jacket when the backpack is full; compression in depth when less luggage and attachment option for hiking poles.

To keep the body well ventilated, 3 D mesh has been integrated on the back and shoulder straps. Reflective elements, a hydration system outlet and the rain cover in the pack bag round out 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. This involves extracting pyrolysis oil from used tires, which is then fed into conventional polyamide production. Chemical recycling saves up to 60% CO2. In addition, this product is climate-neutral: Emissions from materials, the manufacturing process and shipping were determined holistically and systematically reduced. Currently unavoidable emissions were completely offset via the independent non-profit organization “myclimate”.

The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for an environmentally friendly, functional product made from sustainable and bluesign® certified materials.
