Highlights & Technologies:

ERGOSHAPE:
The ergonomically-shaped shoulder straps ensure great mobility and extra comfort on your next mountain, trekking or hiking tour. The cut of the ERGOSHAPE shoulder straps is key: they are cut wide where the straps rest on your shoulders. The straps are narrower at your shoulder joints. The ERGOSHAPE shoulder straps of men’s and women’s backpacks are specifically adapted to their differing anatomies. 
• Ergonomically-shaped shoulder straps sit comfortably without constricting 
• Optimal freedom of movement thanks to adapted width

GREEN SHAPE:
This standard for clothing and textile outdoor products was developed by VAUDE in 2010. Since 2025, it has been supported and further developed as an independent standard by Green Shape e.V. It includes a certification programme with high environmental requirements, including for materials, production and the product life cycle, as well as for the measurability and transparency of these requirements.  
The Green Shape brand is a registered EU certification mark.

GRÜNER KNOPF (“GREEN BUTTON”):
The German textile seal GRÜNER KNOPF (“Green Button”) identifies textiles that meet high social and environmental standards. This seal also verifies corporate due diligence with regard to human rights and ecological criteria. The publisher of the GREEN BUTTON seal is the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Likewise, the GREEN BUTTON is a national and European certification mark. The certification programme is based on ISO 17065 and is validated by the German Accreditation Body.

MULTIUSE:
The MULTIUSE products by VAUDE are multifunctional and can be used for different sporting activities.

VENT-TEX ULTRALIGHT:
The VENT-TEX ULTRALIGHT comes without back reinforcement for weight reasons, however, it still offers high comfort. The mesh pads running along the spinal column even offer comfort on demanding trails. The padding absorbs almost no moisture and creates a large ventilation channel to ventilate the back.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
