Vaude innovations: sustainable, practical and lightweight

The new products presented by Vaude all have one thing in common. The products are all produced sustainably, some even from recycled material. In addition to lightweight backpacks, flyweight wind jackets and water-repellent blousons, the new Moab flat pedal shoe is particularly surprising.

rucksack

Backpacks
The three models in the minimalist Uphill backpack series have been designed to be lightweight. They are made from lightweight, siliconized 40D Rip-Stop material, which originates from VAUDE tent development. The mesh outer pockets are made of thin mesh material and the shoulder straps, hip belt and buckles are also lightweight. The body-contact back system ensures close-fitting comfort. Performance-oriented bikers not only protect their backs with this minimalist backpack, but also the environment. The Uphill models are made from bluesign®-certified material to conserve resources and meet the VAUDE Green Shape criteria.
Another special feature is the multifunctional lacing with triple function: it serves for compression, as a helmet holder and as a fastening option for jacket & Co. Energy bars or gels can be stowed in the pocket on the shoulder strap for quick access. The equipment includes a hydration system outlet and a separate rain cover in the pannier. The new Uphill models are available with a packing volume of 9, 12 or 16 liters.

windjacket

Windbreaker
The Pro Windshell Jacket with Windproof 80 function is the lightest of the VAUDE wind jackets for bikers. It scores with minimal weight and maximum comfort and fits like a glove thanks to its sporty cut. Particularly elastic stretch inserts on the shoulder girdle and sides give it a high degree of freedom of movement and ensure good breathability on fast tours. When it's not needed, it can simply be slipped into its back pocket and stowed away in a jersey pocket or rucksack. The Green Shape jacket is made from bluesign®-certified main material and has an environmentally friendly water-repellent finish with PFC-free Eco Finish.

blouson

Blouson
With the Tremalzo windbreaker, VAUDE perfectly combines bike function and environmental protection. The water-repellent stretch material with Windproof 80 function is certified according to the strict bluesign® eco-standard. It offers full freedom of movement when biking and is pleasantly light and soft to wear. The 2-way zippers on the sides make it easier to put the blouson on over the head and also serve as underarm ventilation on sweaty tours. The two front pockets, which have a lightweight mesh material on the inside, provide additional ventilation if required. VAUDE does not use controversial poly- and perfluorinated chemicals (PFC) for the water-repellent finish (DWR) and uses the environmentally friendly PFC-free Eco Finish for the wind jacket.

shoes

Shoes
When designing the "Moab" flat pedal shoe series, VAUDE focused on the sole construction. The specially developed Vibram® sole has a two-part tread structure. On the flat pedal, the flattened tread structure in the ball and midfoot area ensures perfect grip and effective power transfer to the pedal. In the toe and heel area, the sole impresses with a pronounced profile, which provides the necessary grip and running comfort on alpine terrain. The laces are made from recycled PET and certified in accordance with the strict bluesign® environmental standard. The lining material and insole contain 50% recycled materials. The mid-cut "Moab Mid STX AM" model is also waterproof thanks to the environmentally friendly PTFE-free and 100% recyclable Sympatex® membrane.
