Product description

  • ergonomically shaped shoulder straps
  • main material made primarily from recycled polyamide
So, how do you feel about backpacks – Loosely inspired by Goethe's Faust, that's usually the big question when it comes to choosing the right backpack. Body contact or mesh back? Stability or ventilation? The Wizard 18+4 liter hiking backpack for day tours makes the answer simple: It's both! Thanks to the innovative Aeroflex Control System, the distance between the pack sack and your back can be adjusted continuously - without having to remove the backpack. This keeps the back optimally ventilated during sweaty climbs. On the descent, via ferrata or exposed passages, on the other hand, the load sits close and stable against your body. This versatility makes the hiking pack a loyal companion – from classic day hikes to ambitious mountain and bike tours. The back length can be adjusted to your own body size for an optimum fit. The storage space can also be flexibly adjusted thanks to the zipper volume expansion. Two side mesh pockets, compression straps, pole holder, hydration bladder compartment and an included rain cover round off the features of the hiking backpack. The robust outer material is water and dirt repellent with Eco Finish. VAUDE does not use fluorocarbons, also known as PFAS or PFC chemicals, which are suspected of being harmful to health. With the VAUDE Green Shape label, you can trust that it's eco-friendly and made from sustainable materials.

    Variabel und gut durchdacht.

     
    Habe den Wizard 18+4 neu gekauft und gleich auf einer Wandertour und dann auf einer Motorradtour eingesetzt. Bin rundherum zufrieden: das Aeroflex-System ist super praktisch und einfach zu bedienen; der Tragekomfort beim Wandern ist richtig gut auch dank der Rückenlängsverstellung und der Schulterriemen; die Gurte, besonders der Hüftgurt, reichen auch über die Motorradjacke und die Regenkombi, und die Stauraumverstellung ist sehr praktisch für verschiedene Toureinsätze.

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.
