waterproof hf-welding, with roll closure
designed for technical demands without looking techy
made in Germany with environmentally-friendly manufacturing

For smaller people or when carrying a heavier load, the comfortable Ergoshape shoulder straps and strategically placed back padding offer a stable fit even without a hip belt. Compression straps at the bottom and top help you to secure your load depending on the pack volume. The foolproof roll closure can be snugged down at the side or clipped together at the top, providing quick access to the main compartment. There's a padded compartment for laptops up to 13. 3" inside at the back as well as one zip and one slide-in compartment for securing small items. A waterproof hf-welded slide-in pocket at the front holds a protein bar, map or your GPS. In addition, 4 integrated multi-purpose straps included in delivery can hold extra gear like a helmet, jacket or make a good place to store wet clothing. Reflective logo prints are located at the front and sides for extra visibility in the dark.

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.

Robust und wasserdicht

Review by Ben
Oct 2, 2025

Mein Alltagsrucksack - Büro, Einkaufen, Freizeit etc. Hält durch das robuste Planen-Material einiges aus und wasserdicht ist er auch. Ich finde den Wickelverschluss gut, innen sind nur wenige Fächer - insgesamt vor allem ein großes Fach (einfach alles rein damit). Das Reißverschlussfach außen auf der Vorderseite habe ich persönlich noch nie genutzt, viel passt dort vermutlich auch nicht rein. Alles in allem praktisch, clean, robust und sogar in Deutschland hergestellt. :)
