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.

Blouson
Mountain bikers will love this 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, can be used for additional ventilation if required. VAUDE does not use controversial poly- and perfluorinated chemicals for the water-repellent finish and uses the environmentally friendly PFC-free Eco Finish for the wind jacket.

Pants
The functional main material of the six new models in the VAUDE Advanced cycling shorts series is made from recycled polyamide. In an upcycling process, it is made from textile materials such as used fishing nets. These float in the oceans by the ton and pose a major threat to marine ecology. They are collected, processed and turned into new polyamide yarn. In addition to recycling waste, this has the positive effect of saving valuable crude oil and energy and reducing CO2 emissions. In terms of function, the Econyl material has the same performance values as virgin material. It is durable, lightweight, breathable - and also environmentally friendly. VAUDE combines the recycled fabric with a proportion of stretch material, which guarantees a good fit with great freedom of movement. The ergonomic 6-panel cut with flat waistband and seam processing ensures maximum comfort on road or mountain bikes.

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.
