VAUDE Zerum 48+ Backpack Iron

When every gram counts – this lightweight pack offers high carrying comfort at low weight and is ideal for fast-paced hiking and long-distance treks. The ultralight trekking pack is also exceptionally back-friendly – a recess in the lower back reduces pressure on the sacroiliac joint and prevents back pain. The Tergolight Comfort Space suspension system distributes the load optimally. The pack’s back length and load positioning straps are individually adjustable. The Ergoshape shoulder straps of the Zerum 48+ allow enough freedom of movement for your arms on steep ascents thanks to their special design. You can keep a protein bar or phone within easy reach in the easy-access pockets on the shoulder straps and hip belt. The side stretch pockets provide access to your water bottle, hat or other items without having to take off your pack. Trekking poles can be easily attached while you’re hiking. There’s room for wet gear in the spacious front compartment and it can dry quickly thanks to mesh inserts. An adjustable daisy chain accommodates your helmet and crampons. The top loader has an extra compartment for your hydration bladder. There’s a replacement buckle on the upper compression strap in case one breaks along the way. The height-adjustable, detachable lid expands the volume by another 8 liters and can also be worn separately as a waist pack. The material of the Zerum 48+ is a mix of 100 % recycled polyester and polyamide with a biobased content of 62 % castor oil – an extremely lightweight, tear-resistant and sustainable material. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for environmentally-friendly, functional products made from bluesign certified, sustainable materials.
