Vaude Rupal Light 18 alpine backpack

Less is more: in the Vaude Rupal Light 18 alpine backpack, we have deliberately eliminated unnecessary features without compromising alpine functionality such as the rope attachment point, loops for two ice tools or trekking poles, and straps for efficient compression. The sleek design of the lightweight alpine backpack and our Ergoshape FoM shoulder straps (freedom of movement) ensure maximum freedom of movement during climbing: two adjustable and individually detachable sternum straps allow you to pull the straps inward when necessary, giving the shoulder joints even more room to move. The Rupal Light 18 alpine backpack is designed for light loads, so it does not require a padded belt. Instead, a thin (and detachable) strap with a side-release buckle keeps the load stable at the body's center of gravity. The backpack cover makes it easy to open or close the main compartment with one hand. Inside, you will find a compartment for a hydration bladder; outside, there is a handy zip pocket for topographic maps, phone, and more. All of this makes this minimalist alpine backpack the ideal companion for fast and light tours where every gram counts. The Vaude Green Shape label stands for eco-friendly and functional products made from sustainable and bluesign certified materials.
