Frequently Asked Questions - Proof 28 Vaude

How to properly pack the Proof 28 backpack?

Place heavy items near the back, light items at the bottom, top, and sides. Use the flap compartment for small items, the bottom compartment for bulky items (sleeping bag), and the external pockets for quick access (jacket, beanie).

How to install the hydration system?

The hydration compartment is located near the back. The hose outlet is in the flap (for models with flap) or above the shoulder straps (for models with zipper). Secure the bladder using the velcro or provided hook.

How to adjust the F.L.A.S.H. shoulder strap length?

Open the velcro strip under the back system to unlock the lock. Pull or push the strap to adjust its length, then close the velcro. The size indications on the velcro help determine the correct length.

How to properly adjust the backpack when carrying?

Gently pull on the shoulder straps and load-lifter straps (1 and 2). Close and tighten the hip belt (3) above the hip bone. Loosen the shoulder straps until you feel the weight on your hips, then tighten slightly to stabilize.

How to attach a helmet to the Proof 28?

Depending on the variant: attach the chin straps to the hook mounts (variant 1), use the straps at the top of the pack (variant 2), fix the provided helmet mesh (variant 3), or slide the helmet into the integrated flap (variant 4).

Where is the tail light mount located?

The mount is located at the bottom part of the pack. The clip of the flashing light attaches to a sewn webbing strip or a material cutout. The rain cover also has a designated strip for this purpose.

How to use the rain cover?

The rain cover is in a zippered compartment at the bottom of the pack. Take it out and cover the pack. The bottom part has cutouts for the hip belt to ensure an optimal fit.

How to activate the volume extension?

Some models have a volume extension that increases internal space by about 3 to 5 liters. Simply unzip or deploy the extension according to the intended mechanism (not detailed in the manual).

Where is the map pocket located?

The map pocket is located on the front of the pack, providing easy and secure access to maps or hiking guides.

How to use the tool/pump compartment?

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO PACK YOUR BACKPACK CORRECTLY

The rule of thumb is to make sure the loaded pack's center of gravity lies directly above your own. Heavy items should therefore be packed as close to your back as possible.

1. Lid Compartment: small, lightweight items of gear that need to be close at hand, e.g. mobile phones, GPS, compass.

1. Main Compartment: Lighter items such as clothing should be packed at the bottom, top and on the sides. Heavier items such as climbing equipment (carabiners, wedges, quickdraws), the tent, tinned food or water supplies should be packed in the middle, close in to your back.

2. Bottom Compartment: This is the best place to store lightweight, bulky items that would take up too much room in the main compartment (sleeping bag, dirty laundry bag).

3. Outer Pockets and Mesh Pockets: Room for smaller items (rain jacket, cap, tissues, gloves etc.). Each side should weigh about the same.

4. Map Pocket: Flat outer pocket for easy access to maps, climbing topos and hiking guides.

5. Hydration System: The pocket for the hydration bladder always lies close to your back so that it doesn't offset your center of gravity. The hydration tube port in backpacks with top lids is located underneath the top lid closure. In backpacks with front zip closures, the hydration tube port is found above the shoulder straps.

f.l.a.s.h. straP lenGth adJustment

Some VAUDE Bike backpacks are equipped with the F.L.A.S.H. strap length adjustment system. Every person has an individual back length and shape, and this strap system can be adjusted to optimally fi t any upper body proportions: the backpack fi ts as if it were custom tailored.

For an optimal fit, the end of the shoulder strap should be just below the chest (see figure).

adJustment: You can adjust the length of the shoulder straps quickly and conveniently to any body size using the Velcro strip at the rear of the back system. By opening the Velcro, you release the shoulder strap lock (1). Pull out the shoulder strap or push it in to adjust its length (2). When the shoulder straps are the ideal length, close the Velcro again. Mark the position on the outer side of the Velcro to correct the shoulder strap length in future.

carrYinG sYstem settinGs and adJustment

If your VAUDE Bike backpack is equipped with strap length adjustment, adjust it first.

Shoulder the packed backpack and adjust as follows:

1. Gently tighten the shoulder straps and load adjustment straps (1 and 2). The ladder-lock buckles and the load adjustment straps must be positioned between your collar bone and the bony prominence at the top of your shoulder blade.

2. Lift your shoulders, then close and pull the hip belt to create a snug fit (3). The hip belt must ride on the upper edge of your pelvic bone. Your hips should bear approx. 80% of the load.

3. Loosen the shoulder straps until all of the weight is resting on your hips. Gently tighten the shoulder straps again to stabilize the backpack on your shoulders.

FEATURES

HELMET CARRIERS

Every VAUDE Bike backpack is equipped with a helmet carrier. We use a few different systems.

Variant 1: Brackets with hooks allow you to hook the helmet chin band to the backpack, or you can loop the straps behind the brackets and close them.

Variant 2: Use the two loops on the upper section of the backpack as the helmet carrier. To do this, simply open the helmet chin band, thread each side through a loop and close the chin band again.

Variant 3: Fasten the helmet net included to the two loops on both the upper and lower sections of the backpack. To do this, place the helmet on the backpack, place the net on top of it and put the plastic hooks through the loops.

Variant 4: Integrated helmet straps provide room for cross country and full face helmets. To use them, re-
