PURPOSE | AREA OF APPLICATION

The EVOC backpack with integrated back protector was developed exclusively for cycling, moun- tain biking, snowboarding and skiing. Cycling, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding as well as descents in alpine terrain come with risks. The EVOC backpack with integrated back protector is designed to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a fall when engaging in these activities. The EVOC Backpack with integrated back protector is made for a temperature range from -20°C to +40°C.

RESTRICTIONS ON USE / EXCLUSION

The EVOC backpack with integrated back protector has been designed and certified specifically for the sports described in section “Purpose / Area of application”. Excluded from this are events in the extreme range of these sports. This backpack is not suitable for sports other than those mentioned above, in particular not for the use in motor sports or with motor vehicles such as motorcycles, snowmobiles, quads or similar vehicles. Protection against all injuries cannot be guaranteed. This includes twisting, overstretching or compression, as well as spine compression fractures. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The EVOC backpack with integrated back protector can reduce the severity of injury from impact only if it is correctly positioned and worn. Please observe section “Correct fit | Adjust backpack”. No changes may be made to the backpack including the back protector in order not to impair its protective effect. The flexibility of the protector is ensured by the surface material property; however, the protector should not be bent.

• Make sure that the backpack is not too high or too low on your back. Tighten shoulder straps, chest strap and hip belt.

• Before each use, make sure that all straps, belts, buckles and plug fasteners are tight.

• Be aware that carrying with you any pointy and/or sharp objects (such as knives, screwdrivers, crampons, tools, bottles and other hard objects) can impair the protective function. SAFETY INFORMATION

• Do not carry any glass bottles or explosive objects (such as gas cartridges and pressure contain- ers) or highly flammable and corrosive liquids in the backpack.

• Make sure that all objects that could damage the protector are not loose in the backpack. Protect pointy and /or sharp objects properly (with a tool bag, protective cover for crampons, knife case etc.) and pack them such that they point away from the body

• When using ski lifts or similar transport facilities, take the backpack off, or, alternatively, make sure the backpack does not get caught on something when you get off the lift.

• When using the backpack with a strapped-on snowboard, skis and/or climbing assistance devices (such as snowshoes or short skis), please note that the greater size and much higher centre of gravity can increase the risk of getting caught on something or of you losing your balance.

• Please note that a backpack containing heavy objects may have a negative impact on the sports activity.

CHECK BEFORE EACH USE

Before each use, make sure that the backpack and the protector are fully functional. Proceed as follows.

• Make sure the protector shows no mechanical damage.

• Check how the backpack is packed. Heavy items should be at the bottom and as close as possible to the body's centre of gravity. Pointed or sharp objects should be wrapped up addi- tionally and positioned such that they point away from the body.

• Make sure that the content of the backpack is sufficiently secured and stays in place.

• Make sure that the backpack is properly closed with all plug fasteners and zips and that they are all in proper working order.

• Check the tensile strength of the stitches of the shoulder straps and hip belts.

• Make sure none of the straps or belts have any tears or other structural damage.

• Check that the protector is correctly fitted inside the backpack. To do this, ensure that the EVOC logo and size label on the protector are facing the inside of the backpack.0706

INFORMATION ON SERVICE LIFE | SPARE PARTS

Improper care, incorrect use or environmental influences have an effect on wear and tear and thus on service life. Prolonged exposure to UV light, extreme temperatures or chemical contamination have a particularly negative effect. It can have adverse effects on material quality, and the functionality of the plug fasteners and hook and loop fasteners. Replace the backpack after 5 years of service life from the date of purchase to guarantee its continued functionality. The date of manufacture of the protector can be found on the back of the protector. Plug fasteners and other spare parts are available from the sales partners in your country on request. evocsports.com/de/shopsuche/distributoren After each impact or fall, make sure that the backpack and the protector are fully functional. Pay particular attention to ensure there is no mechanical damage to the protector, the straps and belt, the seams and the plug fasteners. If in doubt, stop using the backpack and contact EVOC Sports GmbH immediately. EVOC Sports GmbH can replace the protector after a fall. Contact: [e-mail] evocsports.com/de/service/garantie

CORRECT FIT | ADJUST BACKPACK

Put on the backpack with shoulder strap, chest strap and hip belt loosened. Place the height-adjustable and flexible hip belt on the hip bone and close the hook and loop fastener. For height adjustment, see Figure 2. Now close the hip belt plug fastener and pull the hip belt until it fits snugly. Tighten the shoulder straps, making sure that you tighten the backpack only until the padded back section lies vertically and horizontally centred against the back. The hip belt must not move up from the hip. Adjust the height-adjustable chest strap such that it is above the chest. Close the plug fastener of the chest strap and tighten it such that the backpack fits as tightly and snugly as possible on the back. Make sure that straps and belts with buckles and plug fasteners are closed and fit tightly to avoid getting caught on something!

VEDLIKEHOLD OG OPPBEVARING

In the last 20 years we have travelled to more than 50 destinations in search of the best trails and the most stunning powder runs. It was particularly hard to find backpacks and bags on the market that met our requirements in regards of functionality, protection and quality. So our solution was to make them ourselves. Since 2008 EVOC stands for evolution and the concept of high-quality, sports backpacks, bags and luggage - with a special focus on protection. All EVOC products are engineered in Germany to ensure the highest standards of perfor- mance, durability and quality.
