Product details

The Ahead 48+ hiking backpack from Vaude is an ultra-light trekking backpack designed specifically for fast hikes and pilgrimages. With a volume of 48 liters, it offers ample space for essential gear, while its lightweight of just 1.38 kilograms enhances carrying comfort. The innovative Tergolight Comfort Space carrying system ensures optimal load distribution and allows for individual adjustment of back length and load positioning. The ergonomically shaped shoulder straps provide freedom of movement, which is particularly beneficial during steep ascents. Additional pockets on the shoulder straps and hip belt allow for quick access to energy bars or a phone. The backpack also features practical elements such as elastic side pockets, a spacious front pocket for wet gear, and a variable Daisy Chain that makes it easier to attach a helmet and crampons. The height-adjustable lid can also be used as a hip bag, increasing the volume by 8 liters. With an eco-friendly Eco Finish, the backpack is water- and dirt-repellent, making it an ideal companion for outdoor adventures.
