Details
The lightweight alpine backpack Rupal Light 28 in green is the ideal choice for demanding day hikes and climbing. It offers a volume of 28 l, ergonomic straps for freedom of movement, and practical gear attachments.
The Vaude Rupal Light 28 mountain backpack in bright green is a reliable partner for fast and demanding ascents. It is designed for fans of mountaineering, via ferratas, and alpine hiking, where minimal load and full freedom of movement play a crucial role.
The ergonomically cut shoulder straps can be easily pulled towards the center of the chest to free up the shoulder joints when climbing on a rock face. The molded back panel reliably repels snow, and the entire construction offers the possibility of adjustment according to current needs. For even more noticeable weight reduction, you can simply remove the internal aluminum stays or completely detach the lightweight hip belt, which otherwise helps keep the load's center of gravity stable against the body.
You can easily operate the main compartment thanks to the well-thought-out drawstring system with a top lid. You can securely fasten your climbing gear using the external loops for ice axes, climbing rope, and helmet. A practical zippered pocket on the outside keeps your map or phone safe, and inside the backpack, there is also a dedicated compartment for a hydration bladder.
