Whether cycling or walking, the very lightweight Uphill 12 bike backpack, weighing just 380 g, is always a reliable companion. Despite its minimalist design, cyclists can count on full comfort. In addition to the asymmetrically opening main compartment with a volume of 12 liters, a flat, stretchy mesh pocket and a zip-secured side pocket provide access to a phone or energy bar without having to remove the lightweight bike backpack. The front lacing features a three-in-one function: it allows for storing a wind or rain jacket when the backpack is full, compressing the pack when carrying less, and securing trekking poles. The 3D mesh on the back and shoulder straps ensures good ventilation while biking or hiking. Thoughtfully integrated reflective elements, a hydration system outlet, and a rain cover in the pack bag complete the features of this versatile backpack. All materials have a high recycling content. The ultra-light, silicone-coated main material of the lightweight backpack is produced using a certified mass balance process. This involves extracting pyrolysis oil from old tires, which is then used in conventional polyamide production. Chemical recycling saves up to 60% CO2 emissions. Additionally, this product is climate-neutral: emissions from materials, manufacturing processes, and shipping have been comprehensively assessed and systematically reduced. Currently unavoidable emissions have been fully offset through 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.
