Product Description

Trail Spacer 18

Innovative, lightweight backpack for speed hiking

  • spacerknit back with vest-like suspension system
  • generous stretch exterior pockets
  • climate neutral; environmentally friendly production thanks to an innovative end-of-life tire recycling program using a mass balance process
A perfect companion for long, fast-paced tours – this lightweight multi-sport backpack offers maximum comfort and perfect support thanks to the 3D molded back panel; with 18 liters of volume, there's plenty of space for speed hikers, mountain bikers, cross-country skiers and athletic hikers. Made from environmentally friendly recycled yarn, the 3D knit construction is unique worldwide – it takes into account different pressure zones at your back for even pressure distribution and ventilation. The Trail Spacer 18 has a hydration bladder attachment and enough storage space for day trips. The shoulder straps have compartments with space for gels, power bars, your phone, etc. Two stretch pockets at the sides offer additional space. A wet rain jacket and first aid kit can be stowed in the front pocket. You can access the pole holder and compression straps even when you're wearing the pack. The polyamide recycled main material was made using a certified mass balance process sourced from end-of-life tires and other recyclables. This reduces CO2 emissions by up to 60%. Because the suspension system is knit to form, it can be produced without remnant materials. The lightweight backpack is climate neutral. We’ve analyzed and systematically reduced all emissions arising from materials, manufacturing, and shipping. Emissions that are currently unavoidable were fully offset by the independent non-profit organization myclimate. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for environmentally-friendly, functional products made from sustainable and bluesign® certified materials. Note: Always wash the backpack by hand.

Material

Mass Balance Recycling – chemical recycling process
Mass Balance Recycling – chemical recycling process

Recycled polyamide that makes use of a certified mass balance process in which pyrolysis oil is extracted from used tires and fed into a conventional polyamide production process. This chemical recycling methods conserves fossil raw resources. Another advantage: compared to conventional polyamide production, 60% less CO2 emissions are produced*. The polyamide obtained in this eco-friendly process has just the same properties as conventional polyamide made from crude oil.

• robust, durable polyamide with best freedom of movement
• innovative tire recycling using a mass balance process
• climate-friendly and CO2-conserving crude oil alternative
