The rule of thumb is to make sure the loaded pack’s center of gravity lies directly above your own. Hea- vy 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.

2. Main Compartment: Lighter items such as clothing

should be packed at the bottom, top and on the si- des. Heavier items such as climbing equipment (carabiners, wedges, quickdraws), the tent, tin- ned food or water supplies should be packed in the middle, close in to your back.

3. 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).

4. Outer Pockets and Mesh Pockets: Room for smal-

ler items (rain jacket, cap, tissues, gloves etc.). Each side should weigh about the same.

5. Map Pocket: Flat outer pocket for easy access to

maps, climbing topos and hiking guides.

6. Hydration System: The pocket for the hydrati-

on bladder always lies close to your back so that it doesn’t offset your center of gravity. The hydrati- on 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.

Every per- son 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 cus- tom tailored. For an optimal fi t, the end of the shoulder strap should be just below the chest (see fi gure). adjustment: You can adjust the length of the shoul- der 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.

Quick guide Video12 ENGLISH carrYing sYstem settings and adjustment If your VAUDE Bike backpack is equipped with strap length adjustment, adjust it fi rst. Shoulder the packed backpack and adjust as follows:

1. Gently tighten the shoulder straps and load adjust-

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

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.
