Vaude Uphill

Lightweight Bike Backpack

Makes every mountain tour a pleasure: The very lightweight Uphill 8, weighing only 340 g, is minimalist yet ensures a high level of comfort. The asymmetrically opening main compartment offers a volume of 8 liters. With a flat, stretchy mesh pocket and a zippered side pocket, you can always access your phone or snack without having to take off the backpack. The multifunctional lacing on the front has three functions: storing a jacket when the backpack is full, compressing the depth when carrying less gear, and providing a way to attach trekking poles. To ensure good ventilation for the body, we have integrated 3D mesh on the back and shoulder straps. Reflective elements, a hydration system outlet, and a rain cover in the pack bag complete the features of this multi-talented backpack. All materials have a high recycling content. For the ultra-light, siliconized main material of the lightweight backpack, a certified mass balance process is used. This involves obtaining pyrolysis oil from old tires, which is then fed into conventional polyamide production. Through chemical recycling, up to 60% CO2 is saved. Additionally, this product is climate-neutral: emissions from materials, the manufacturing process, and shipping have been comprehensively assessed and systematically reduced. Currently unavoidable emissions have been fully compensated 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.
