Which backpack fits my back length?

It's easy to find out which VAUDE backpack fits your back length: simply measure yourself with a tape measure and compare your back length with our table.

Measure your back length

Backpack sizes

Some of the backpacks' product names include size information. The designation "M" stands for medium, i.e. a medium size. This medium size is universally suitable and is perfect for most users. "L" stands for Large, i.e. a large size, "XL" for Extra Large, an extra large size. If no specific size information appears in the product name, it is usually a standard size.

Size	Height
Unisex: XL	ca. 180 cm - 203 cm
Unisex: M/L	ca. 162 cm - 185 cm
Women's Size	ca. 155 cm - 178 cm

Sleeping bag size information

The product names of some sleeping bags include size information. The designation "S" stands for small, i.e. a small size, while "XL" stands for extra large. If no specific size information such as "S" or "XL" appears in the product name, it is usually a standard size or "Regular". (Indicated sizes in cm)

Regular	165-190
S	150-170
XL	185-205

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.

Minaki Fahrradhose für Damen

Review by Birgit
Nov 25, 2025

Die Fahrradhose erfüllt ihren Zweck schon. Meine Beine sind von vorne angenehm warm, die Beinrückseiten könnten etwas mehr Wärme vertragen, aber es passt schon. Die max. Temperatur mit der ich bis jetzt gefahren bin war -3°C mit Wind. Was mich wirklich ärgert ist der schlechte Reißverschluß an der Seite. Bei diesem Preis hatte ich einen qualtitativ hochwertigeren Reißverschluß erwartet. Das Ding klemmt und hakt und es ist jeden Morgen ein Kampf beim Zumachen. Außerdem ist es sehr schade, dass die Hose hinten nicht viel höher geschnitten ist. Dies hätte bei einer Fahrradhose durchaus Sinn gemacht. Ich würde sie mir nicht mehr kaufen. Schade, da ich eigentlich ein Fan von den Vaude Produkten bin

Foute materiaal/stofkeuze achterkant broek

Review by Inda
Jan 12, 2025

Ik was eerst zeer enthousiast over deze broek bij aankoop en aanpassen binnenshuis. Eerste ( korte) rit op de fiets : een hele rit een koud achterwerk en bovenbenen door ' De naadgetapete en daardoor waterdichte achterwerkversterking bestaat uit zeer slijtvast polyamide in 3L-afwerking'. Ik dacht: het ligt aan mezelf, zoek een oplossing. Tweede , langere rit gedaan. Dan was het koude gevoel minder prominent. Nog steeds voelbaar en onaangenaam. Intussen geprobeerd met verschillende types onderlagen van warm sportondergoed , fietsbibshort ( pijpjes komen net niet voorbij het koude stuk stof) tot merinowollen ondergoed. Het blijft oncomfortabel fietsen. Broek ligt nu onbruikbaar onderaan in de kast. Vreselijk zonde van het geld. Ik heb dus dezelfde ervaring als reviewschrijfster hierboven. Ik vraag me af welke oplossing er kan geboden worden, zodat ik wel met een bruikbare winterbroek kan rondsfietsen zoals bvb de Qimsa . Vaude is verder een topmerk! Love it!

Response

Dear Inda,
Thank you very much for your honest feedback.
The Minaki Pants combine two different materials with Windproof Pro to optimise your body climate and are also insulated with padding to the knee at the front.
In fact, the individual perception of temperature and warmth also depends on the constitution, activity and physiology of the person wearing the garment.
Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team, if you have any further questions.

Die Minaki Fahrradhose für Damen war leider ein absoluter Fehlkauf

Review by Conny
Apr 18, 2024

Die Minaki Fahrradhose für Damen war leider ein absoluter Fehlkauf. Eigentlich bin ich mit der Bekleidung von Vaude immer recht zufrieden, aber bei dieser Hose trifft die Beschreibung "warme Damen Isolationshose für den Radsport oder diese Winter Fahrradhose für Damen trotzt selbst kalten Temperaturen" nun wirklich nicht zu. Ich weiß nicht, was Vaude unter "kalten Temperaturen" versteht. Ich hatte mir diese Hose in 2023 gekauft und krankheitsbedingt erst im Februar 2024 benutzt. Es waren 7 °C und nach den ersten Metern, mit dem Fahrrad aus der Garage kommend, dachte ich - die ist aber am hinteren Teil des Körpers, einschließlich der Oberschenkel, doch recht frisch. War mir aber sicher, das wird noch, es ist ja eine Winterhose. Jedoch wurde ich eines besseren belehrt. Bei dem Ausflug hatte ich die gesamte Zeit über den Eindruck, der komplette hintere Bereich wird gekühlt und nicht gewärmt. Habe den Versuch noch ein zweites Mal gemacht, aber auch an diesem Tag hat die Hose nicht Ihren Zweck erfüllt. Inzwischen habe ich mir eine Hose, einer anderen Marke gekauft und muss sagen, nach mehreren Ausflügen - perfekt. Schade aber nur, dass ich für die Vaude Minaki Fahrradhose unnötig Geld ausgegeben habe.

Response

Hallo Conny,
vielen Dank für dein Feedback.
Schade, dass dir unsere Minaki nicht zugesagt hat.
Tatsächlich hängt das individuelle Temperatur- und Wärmeempfinden auch von Konstitution, Aktivität und Physiologie der tragenden Person ab.
