Description of the collection
Optimal load distribution with individual back adjustment for greatest carrying comfort | excellent ventilation | uniquely designed top compartment (doubles as a toilet bag) | numerous, innovative features for women

Versametric suspension system

1. Pendulum hipbelt – joint-friendly and energy saving
   A triangle at the lower back absorbs hip movement directing it towards the mid back region. Here a triangle is mounted which allows the hipbelt to pivot back and forth and prevents the load of the pack from bearing down on the hips with every step.


2. Individual load positioning automatically adjusts to the straps and ensures optimal load distribution.


3. Continuous torso length adjustment, adjustable while hiking


4. Ergonomic design of the pack’s back and hipbelt
   The form takes on the natural flow of the spine in the pelvic area and distributes the load from above onto the pelvis – this reduces the lateral pressure caused by conventional hipbelts.


5. Grip hold for easy lifting

Ultra Seam Tech

Ultra Seam Tech is the label VAUDE uses to describe the use and the combination of three technologies. These technologies are the future of textile processing. All three technologies share this in common: two materials are bonded together without using needles or thread.

Absolutely waterproof
The seams are welded edge-to-edge with Ultra Seam Technology and then taped. This makes them waterproof.

Extra light
By eliminating the need for seam allowances and thread, Ultra Seam Tech reduces the overall weight of the product.

More comfortable
Ultra Seam Tech seams reduce the potential for abraison on skin or between materials due to their thin construction.

Clear Design
With Ultra Seam Tech bonds, we can produce anatomical cuts for improved comfort and increased abrasion proof qualities, since there are no seam ridges.

Enhanced strength
The seams are much more resilient because the material is not punctured by needle holes.

Anatomical carrying systems » Backpacks

When we talk of rucksacks at VAUDE we also talk about 30 years of experience in the development of carrying systems. If a carrying system meets the expectations or not can only be proven in the tough outdoor testing. Its strengths and its weaknesses are relentlessly shown in the daily use. Our rucksacks are thoroughly tested by a whole squad of international mountain guides. Though these extensive test series are extremely time-consuming and exhausting - we are proven right by our success.

Dragging twenty or more kilos of luggage when entering Bigwalls on Baffin Island? The complete avalanche equipment and some more nick-nacks for the skiing tour in Raetikon - to be stowed mostly compact and easy accessible? Mostly it is because of the rucksack whether a tour turns into a dream or a nightmare.

VAUDE offers the right rucksack for various occasions - fitting not just your needs perfectly but also perfectly adaptable to the individual anatomical fit.
