Vaude Uphill

Lightweight Bicycle 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 easily access your phone or energy bar 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 luggage, and securing 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 versatile product. All materials have a high recycling content. The ultralight, 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. Through chemical recycling, up to 60% CO2 emissions are saved. 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 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.
