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)

Size	Height
Regular	165-190
S	150-170
XL	185-205
Kids	105-135
Youth	130-165

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.

Super funktional

Review by Alex
Jan 11, 2026

Die eingearbeiteten Gamaschen mit dem Gummiband am Saum ist hervorragend. Die Hose bleibt auf dem Schuh sitzen. Es fällt kein Schnee in den Schuh. Das gleich gilt bei Wanderungen im steinigen Umfeld. Die Hose schließt gerade im Rückenbereic hoch ab, so dass der Lendenbereich auch bei ausladenden Bewegungen immer geschlossen bleibt. Die aufgesetzte Netztasche ist ebenfalls ideal, um mal das Handy (eher die Ausnahme) oder auch Taschentuch dort zu verstauen, um bei Minus 12 Grad mit Handschuhe mal schnell dran zu kommen.

Ungenügende Ausstattung

Review by Johannes
Dec 2, 2025

Endlich mal ein schlanker Schnitt! Leider ist sie von der Ausstattung mit den Taschen absolut unakzeptabel, da bin ich sehr enttäuscht! Nur eine vordere Hosentasche, keine Gesäßtasche und eine Netztasche am Bein außen ohne Reißverschluss, was soll das?

Response

Hallo Johannes,
vielen Dank für deine Bewertung.
Tatsächlich zeichnet sich unsere Larice IV Skitourenhose durch ein minimalistisches, cleanes Design aus. Die Ausstattung ist hier eher zurückhaltend, das Gewicht gering und das Packmaß klein. Sie ist für kurze, schnelle Skitouren in Pistennähe geeignet.
Die aufgesetzte Netztasche bietet praktischen Zugriff auf Riegel oder Taschentücher.
Wenn du etwas mehr Ausstattung benötigst, dann ist unsere Monviso Serie ggfs. sinnvoll für dich.
Gerne kannst du dich hierzu auch bei deinem Fachhändler oder unserem Kundenservice beraten lassen.
Dein VAUDE Team
