  • main material mainly made from recycled material
An innovative, 100% waterproof 2-in-1 backpack and bike bag, proudly Made in Germany, featuring a sleek and timeless design that's perfect for commuting or touring. This spacious 26-liter roll-top backpack comes with a padded back, ergonomic shoulder straps, and a chest strap, and can effortlessly transform into a pannier. The shoulder straps can be conveniently stored in a mesh pocket at the back and secured with a cover that includes a slide-in pocket with a waterproof zip that's fully removable for easy cleaning. Thanks to the reliable QMR 2.0 attachment system, the 2-in-1 backpack and bike bag can be easily and securely mounted on your gear rack (for round tubes ranging from 8 to 16 mm). Detaching it is a breeze – simply pull on the connecting strap that links the two hooks. You can also lock the QMR hooks with a small lock (such as TSA lock, not included). This versatile backpack-bike bag combination provides plenty of storage space with a well-organized interior, including a padded laptop compartment for devices up to 13.3 inches, along with additional external slip pockets for your phone, pens, and other essentials. The 2-in-1 backpack-bike bag can be compressed at the sides in three positions, depending on the load. The rugged bag material with a textile appearance is waterproof-welded in the VAUDE Manufaktur and is completely PVC-free. It includes reflective logos.

    Très bien pensé pour le vélo rando touristique

     
    Très pratique pour une utilisation mixte "sac à dos" / "Sacoche de vélo". Cette configuration me permet de réaliser des sorties à la journée, avec visite de lieux touristiques sans laisser mes affaires sur le vélo. L'idéal pour ma pratique.

  2. Overall Rating

    Sac qui ne se ferme pas

     
    Le sac a l'air costaud et le système d'accroche au velo est bien pensé, de meme que le rabat qui le transforme en sac a dos. Cependant la fermeture du sac est largement défaillante car il ne s'agit que d'un rabat des deux côtés de l'ouverture du sac. Rien ne sécurisé la fermeture du sac qui est du coup, la plupart du temps, ouvert en partie.

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.
