Vaude Challenger 45 + 10

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.

The bluesign® standard is the world's most stringent textile standard for environmental protection, consumer protection and occupational safety.  All environmental aspects of production are evaluated at the screening: water and air emissions, noise levels,  energy and material use, as well as working conditions related to  dangerous materials. Products that are made from at least 90%  bluesign® certified materials are given the "bluesign® approved  fabric" label.

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

The F.L.A.S.H. (Floating Length Adjustable Sholder Harness) NT system has two pull loops that allow you to precisely adjust the length of the shoulder straps quickly and comfortably. A pull system at the point where the shoulder straps exit the pack lets you adjust the individual length of the shoulder straps for custom-fitting comfort. F.L.A.S.H. NT is used in conjunction with the Anatomic NT and Ergonomic suspension systems.
