We're a team of passionate mountain sports enthusiasts - ski tourers, cyclists, hikers, climbers, and alpinists. We're dedicated to developing sustainable products for our passion. Our goal is to minimize our impact on nature and the environment. We design products with minimal material consumption in mind, try to avoid waste, and create things that are timeless, durable, and repairable. Since 2022, we've been carbon neutral with our products; we fully offset any unavoidable emissions through certified climate protection projects. We use recycled materials like polyester yarn from recycled PET bottles in our Brenta hiking backpack. Our Eco Finish method gives our outdoor backpacks a water-repellent surface without using harmful fluorocarbon (PFC). The Trekking backpack with a mesh back is super comfortable and perfect for one to multi-day hiking trips. At VAUDE, we believe in making environmentally friendly products that are fair to people and functional for you. That's how outdoor gear should be.
