Vaude Asymmetric 52+8

The Vaude Asymmetric 52+8 trekking backpack is made primarily from recycled materials and is not only a good companion for hut hopping tours and alpine trekking, but with 52 liters of volume, it's also a great choice for backpacking and long-distance trails.

The Tergolight Comfort Space suspension system ensures optimal distribution of the load. You can individually adjust the back length, load positioning straps and Ergoshape shoulder straps to fit your own body. It's exceptionally back friendly thanks to a recess in the back padding that takes pressure off the sacroiliac joint to prevent a sore back. A well padded hip belt lightens the load and makes the pack even more comfortable to carry. Specially engineered shoulder straps allow plenty of freedom of movement for your arms. The main compartment can be accessed from the top or the front. The separation to the bottom compartment can also be easily removed for more space in the main compartment.

Everything that needs to be easily accessible when you're on the go fits in the stretchy front compartment with optimized ventilation – even wet clothing can dry here. You can easily access the side stretch pockets while you're wearing the pack. An ice axe or trekking poles can be attached to the gear loop and your crampons to the daisy chain – ideal for alpine terrain!

Two compression straps on each side keep the trekking pack slim, as does the top compression strap with a replacement buckle in case any of them break while you're on your adventure. You can increase the pack's volume by 8 liters with the height-adjustable lid. The Vaude Green Shape label stands for environmentally-friendly, functional products made from bluesign® certified, sustainable materials.
