Vaude Basic Rock 42+8

No matter where it’s used – whether in backpacks or apparel – Cordura can take a beating. When put to the test, Cordura resists scuffs, tears and abrasions like no other fabric of its kind. Cordura is 10x more durable than cotton fabric, 3x more durable than standard polyester and 2x more durable than standard nylon.

Designed for alpine use and longer tours with lots of luggage.

Instead of the removable aluminium frame, it sports a lightweight, anatomical back panel inside the pack. This prevents  the load from bulging into your back, significantly improving carrying comfort. The panel can be removed when necessary to reduce weight. Two large mesh pads are positioned along the spine to create a channel for superior ventilation. A new hipbelt can be worn three  ways:

• as a traditional hipbelt with a comfortable, broad hipwings
• with the hipwings folded away and a strap hipbelt - especially practical when you‘re wearing a climbing harness for example
• without the hipbelt - the hipbelt can be completely detached
