Laser focused on the essentials – that's the Rupal Light 28 backpack. Features include a rope attachment point, loops for two ice tools or trekking poles and compression straps. The sleek design of the lightweight alpine backpack and our Ergoshape FoM (Freedom of Movement) shoulder straps ensure maximum freedom of movement while climbing: two individually adjustable and detachable sternum straps make it possible to pull the straps far inward when needed, giving your shoulder joints even more room to move. In addition, the snow-repellent back is adaptable – the weight of the Rupal Light 28 can be reduced even more thanks to removable aluminum struts. The lightly padded and removable hip belt keeps the load close to your center of gravity either way. The pack's cover makes it easy to open or close the main compartment with just one hand. Other features: an inner hydration bladder compartment, a practical zip pocket for topo maps, phone & more outside on the back. The lightweight alpine backpack is the perfect companion for fast and sporty climbing and mountain tours where every gram counts. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for environmentally-friendly, functional products made from sustainable and bluesign® certified materials.

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.
