  1. Overall Rating

    Sehr guter Kompaktrücksack

     
    Ich habe mir den Rucksack schon vor Jahren angeschafft und bin absolut zufrieden. Er sitzt sehr gut, war sehr lange wasserdicht und sieht auch gut aus. Einzig beim Wandern hätte ich mir eine Außentasche für eine Wasserflasche gewünscht, aber es ist nun mal ein Fahrradrucksack. Ich habe im Anhang ein paar Bilder hochgeladen, die die Schwachstellen des Rucksacks zeigen, die im Hinblick auf die Haltbarkeit verbessert werden könnten. Der Rucksack verdient aber trotzdem 5 Sterne. Bei mir ist er täglich seit 3 - 4 Jahren in Gebrauch für Radtouren, Wander- und Klettertouren und im Alltag.

Sleeping bag zip position

Zip  Info
left The zip is on the left, suitable for right-handed people
right The zip is on the right, suitable for left-handers

 

A few tips on choosing the right zip position: Right-handed people choose a sleeping bag with the zip on the left, as they can comfortably reach across the body to the zip with their right hand. Left-handed people choose a sleeping bag with a zip on the right so that they can easily reach the zip with their left hand. If you want to combine two sleeping bags, make sure you choose one with a zip on the right and one with a zip on the left. The choice of sleeping bag should also take into account the position of the tent entrance so that you can always get in and out comfortably.

How to measure correctly?

To ensure your VAUDE clothing fits perfectly, it is important to take your measurements correctly. Here's how:

  • Chest: Measure the circumference at the widest point of your chest – ideally while standing upright with your arms hanging loosely at your sides.
  • Waist: Measure the circumference at the narrowest point of your waist – usually just above the belly button.
  • Hips: Measure around your hips at the widest point of your buttocks.
  • Inseam: Measure straight down from the top of your inner thigh (crotch) to your ankle.
