Eco Finish
Eco Finish – environmentally friendly water and stain resistant finish.
This water and stain resistant finish is applied to the outer fabric of your product so that water pearls up and runs right off – without the use of environmentally harmful fluorocarbons (PFCs). This protects you from the rain and keeps the planet clean. Regular reapplication is necessary for permanent waterproofing and stain resistance.
Ergoshape
These ergonomic shoulder straps ensure optimum freedom of movement and extra comfort for your next mountain, trekking or hiking tour. Ergoshape shoulder straps are designed to be wider where they rest on your shoulders and narrower at the front and under your arms. Ergoshape shoulder straps are specifically adapted to the different needs of women and men.
PET Recycling
Recycled PET: high quality polyester made from recycled PET bottles.
Collect, clean, granulate and spin into high quality polyester yarn – that’s what’s involved in the recycling of PET bottles. In the manufacturing process, we can reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 50% while completely eliminating the use of new fossil fuels. This conserves resources and keeps our ecological footprint small.
My Climate
Climate-neutral product. The emissions arising from materials, manufacturing, and shipping are analyzed and systematically reduced. Emissions that are currently unavoidable are fully offset through myclimate.
Tergolight Comfort Space Suspension
Tergolight Comfort Space Suspension System: A recess at the lower back relieves the sacroiliac joint and eliminates back pain. With an internal frame made of aluminum that transfers the load directly to the hipbelt, the Tergolight Comfort Space has been designed for tours with a heavy load such as short trekking routes, hut-hopping trips, long-distance trails and backpacking.

Description

VAUDE ASYMMETRIC 38+8 WS

The new 2022 version of our popular VAUDE Asymmetric 38+8 WS women’s trekking backpack! Whether it’s a hut hopping tour, long-distance trail or backpacking – this women’s trekking pack with 38L of packing volume unites carrying comfort with spacious storage.  Shorter shoulder straps, a shorter back length, ergonomic and softly padded hip belt – this women’s trekking pack was engineered for the female form. The main compartment is accessible from the top and front – no more rummaging around to find your stuff. You can dry your jacket in the well-ventilated front compartment and keep all your essentials close at hand. The side stretch pockets keep your water bottle and hiking map safely stowed and accessible even while wearing the pack. Helmet, ice axe and trekking poles will find their place on the daisy chain or the extra gear loop. There are two compression straps on each side of the pack, plus another under the lid with an integrated spare buckle in case one of the buckles breaks along the way. You can increase the volume by up to 8L with the height-adjustable lid with an inner compartment.

 

  • The Tergolight Comfort Space suspension system distributes the load optimally across its softly padded hip belt.
  • The back length and load positioning straps can be adjusted to your torso size.
  • A recess at the lower back reduces pressure on your sacroiliac joint for a pain-free back on longer tours.
  • Ergoshape shoulder straps take the pressure off and allow your arms freedom of movement.

About our women backpacks:

Women have their own specific needs when it comes to backpack design. Our women’s backpacks are specifically engineered to meet these needs:

 

Torso length

Women are an average of 10 cm shorter than men – they have a shorter torso, and their shoulders are narrower. VAUDE women’s backpacks are designed to have a shorter back and are also smaller and narrower than the equivalent versions for men. This guarantees an optimal fit.

 

Shoulder straps
In general, women’s backs are narrower than men’s in the shoulder area. To make sure that the shoulder straps don’t chafe uncomfortably or pinch at the front, we’ve designed our women’s backpacks with s-shaped shoulder straps. This design makes the pack especially stable and keeps it from sliding around on your back. In addition, the height of the sternum strap can be adjusted to allow for the best fit possible.
