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

Bike bag sizes

Here you can see where the height, width and depth of VAUDE panniers are measured. Please note that the widest part of the article is always indicated or measured.

Luggage carrier bags, sideways

Luggage carrier bags, top

Handlebar bags

Saddlebags

Frame bags

Fork bags

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.

Erst gut, dann enttäuschend

Review by Bettina

Ich habe den Radrucksack 2,5 Jahre genossen, jetzt ist plötzlich ohne besondere Umstände der Reißverschluss in sich an der Knickstelle längs gerissen. Da würde eine Reparatur wahrscheinlich zu teuer.

Great versatile product

Review by Dan
Jul 17, 2024

The bag is very spacious. Easily fits my computer for the work commute and a change of clothes, lunch, and notebook. Fits easily to my pannier and disconnects quickly to transform from a bike bag to a backpack. The quick mount release comes off very easily and stows in a handy pocket. Important to follow the instructions and take notice of how the straps are dangling. I tucked them in to the pockets on the shoulder strap or side of the backpack to prevent them blowing around in the wind and getting trapped in the wheel. Material feels solid and overall feels well built though does pick up marks and scuffs easily. Can imagine with daily use it's going to get banged up. Very nice addition to be able to hand it on a suit case too which makes it ideal for flights. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Mal conçu

Review by Adrien
Mar 21, 2024

Bien qu'ayant respecté scrupuleusement la notice de montage, une sangle de bretelle est venue se coincer dans ma roue arrière et s'est arrachée. Après avoir gardé mon sac en SAV pendant plus d'un mois, Vaude a conclu qu'ils n'y étaient pour rien et m'annoncent un délai de plusieurs semaines avant de renvoyer mon sac sans aucune réparation... Bref très cher et peu pratique si on ne peut s'en servir que comme sac à dos et qu'il n'est pas possible de le fixer sur un porte-bagage.

Response
