VAUDE is taking a major step into the post-fossil age with its new Skarvan Biobased Pants made of biobased polyamide PA 6.10. The yarn used consists of 62 % castor oil and was developed together with the polymer specialist Evonik. In addition to the ecological advantages of renewable raw materials, this new fabric features impressive functional properties such as faster drying times and high elasticity. Biobased at its best!

VAUDE has set itself ambitious targets and intends to significantly increase the proportion of recycled materials in its outdoor product range. The proportion of VAUDE products with a minimum content of 50 % renewable, biobased or recycled raw materials is to increase from the current level of just under 45 % (Summer 20 collection) to 90 % by 2024. The Elope Jacket is setting a good example. This functional jacket is largely made with recycled materials, which conserves valuable resources in production. The wind and waterproof 2-layer construction is the first choice for eco-aware hikers.

Summertime is mosquito time. All sorts of sprays, creams and candles have been developed to combat the little pests – but it takes the right clothing to make mosquito repellent absolute. VAUDE's AntiMos apparel with natural geraniol ensures that mosquitoes and other biting insects don't stand a chance while also providing effective protection against sunburn.

Summer time is not only sun time, but also thunderstorm time. If you don't think ahead, you run the risk of getting soaked. VAUDE is bringing weather protection to the big city with its Urban Life Collection. The
Mineo 2L jacket can be packed down small – and provides the best possible protection from a cloudburst. Modern design paired with outdoor functionality – that fits into any bag.

The new VAUDE sneakers UBN Redmont 2.0 feature natural materials – bio cotton, organic leather and natural rubber, and they're truly astonishing in terms of sustainable shoe production. To top it off, they're also made in Europe. The "urban conscious" target group and any sports-loving metropolitans will find a trendy companion for their adventures in the urban jungle. They're certainly the greenest shoes VAUDE has ever made.

If you want maximum flexibility and functionality in your backpack, the VAUDE Wizard is the choice for you. It's as versatile as life itself. This technical hiking pack is flexible enough to even meet day-to-day demands, with an Aeroflex Control suspension system that easily transitions from a snug-contact back to full ventilation.

The Trail Spacer 28 backpack has been tailored – or rather, knitted – for active mountaineers! Not only does it offer plenty of room for gear, it also scores points with excellent ventilation and an extremely comfortable 3D-knitted Spacerknit suspension system. In addition, it's partially made from biobased polyamide. It's an absolute carryall for nature lovers everywhere – and it won’t let anything come between you and your next micro-adventure!

Kids have their own ideas and requirements when it comes to outdoor gear. Especially when it comes to backpacks, kids want to have it just as good as their parents. This is exactly where the new VAUDE children's backpacks Skovi, Puck, Hylax, Ayla and Minnie score. Each has a design that's not only inspiring with its cheerful colors, but is also tailor made for children and above all, features eco-friendly production. Starting with the Summer 2021 Season, all VAUDE children's backpacks will be made of recycled materials.

The chic Women's Elope Fleece Jacket for hiking and trekking contains 62 % recycled polyester in addition to its wood cellulose fiber.

Parents who love winter sports also love to share their passion with their children. But until now, finding adequate performance ski touring apparel for them has often been a real challenge.

With the development of the first biodegradable fleece fabric, VAUDE opened a new chapter in sustainable functional clothing in 2018. For the Summer Season 2020, the range of these ecological fleece models made from wood cellulose will now be extended to all apparel lines.

For many women, hiking isn’t simply something to enjoy; it’s not about "higher, faster, further" but about rest and relaxation. Finding the right gear and apparel is about more than pure functionality. Sustainability and modern styles are also important when it comes to holistic hiking. For women who care about style as much as they care about the planet, the following applies: always leave behind a good impression, but don’t leave a trace! That's why VAUDE has developed a hiking series for women that includes production methods with a small ecological footprint.

In the new Brenta and Jura hiking backpacks, VAUDE’s enhanced Aeroflex 3D suspension raises the bar to lofty levels when it comes to carrying your load comfortably. It wasn’t just the suspension that was refined; optics and functionality were focused on as well.

Outfitted with the innovative, rear-ventilated Aeroflex 3D suspension system, this versatile backpack sets a new standard for hiking, biking and other outdoor activities.

All models have the Green Shape label which includes a high proportion of recycled materials and, for the first time, a biodegradable fleece made from wood cellulose and GOTS-certified cotton. After all, protecting the planet doesn't just start on Fridays with "Friday4future" protests; if you start early enough, it’ll become a part of their worldview.
Nature has been the best teacher for thousands of years – it’s an inexhaustible source of inspiration. That's why children should experience and discover their own realm – with all their senses and as thoroughly as possible – whatever the weather, of course. After all, people protect what they love!

The summer hiking season is fast approaching and new challenges in the mountains are just waiting to be discovered. A pair of comfortable, lightweight, waterproof and environmentally friendly hiking boots is what’s called for. The VAUDE HKG Core Mid STX combines all these attributes and offers hikers the best possible off-road support.
