VAUDE RUPAL LIGHT 18 BRIGHT GREEN SAMPLE
Less is more: In the Rupal Light 18 alpine backpack, we’ve deliberately eliminated superfluous features without compromising on alpine functionality like 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 (Freedom of Movement) shoulder straps guarantee maximum freedom of movement while climbing: two individually adjustable and detachable sternum straps make it possible to pull the straps far inward when needed, giving your shoulder joints even more room to move.
The Rupal Light 18 alpine backpack is designed for light loads so it doesn’t need a padded hipbelt. Instead, a slim (and detachable) strap with a side release buckle keeps the load stable at your body’s center of gravity. The cover of the pack makes it easy to open or close the main compartment with just one hand. Inside you’ll find a hydration bladder compartment; outside there’s a practical zip pocket for topo maps, phone & more.
All this makes this minimalist alpine backpack the ideal companion for fast-&-light tours where every gram counts.

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.
Synergy Mold Light
Ventilation channel along the spine
VAUDE backpacks with the Synergy Mold Light suspension system are designed for alpine activities in all seasons and in demanding terrain. The system is lightweight and offers maximum freedom of movement while the foam padding repels moisture and snow. A large ventilation channel that runs along your spine ensures optimal air circulation. Adjustable aluminum stays or an aluminum frame ensure stability and good wearing comfort (not used in all models).
