Vaude Uphill 16L Backpack - black

Lightweight bike backpack

• very light, 16 l volume
• air-permeable carrying system
• climate-neutral; environmentally friendly production through innovative used tire recycling using a mass balance process

The mountain is calling! No matter whether it goes up by bike and then on foot: the Uphill 16 bike backpack, very light at 420 g, makes every fast mountain tour a pleasure. The minimalist equipment of the backpack comes up with full comfort. In addition to the asymmetrically opening main compartment with 16 l volume, a flat, stretch mesh pocket and a zippered side pocket provide access to the cell phone or the bar without having to remove the backpack.

The lace-up front scores a triple function: stow a windbreaker or rain jacket when the pack is full; compress in depth when you're carrying less; and attach hiking poles. 3 D mesh on the back and shoulder straps provides good ventilation when biking or hiking. Integrated into the design, 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.
