Highlights & Technologies:

ECO HARD BACK 2.0:
Hard shell bag back for VAUDE bike bags. The HARD BACK 2.0 is made of sturdy plastic and extremely impact- and abrasion- resistant. For the ECO version, the plastic is made from recycled material. The heavily stressed edges were additionally equipped with non-slip feet. The lower guide hook is now adjustable by hand and can be rotated freely through 360°. This allows you to individually adapt the bag to all luggage rack rails. The backs of the bags are symmetrical and can be fitted on either side of the bike. Maximum load: approx. 12.5 kg per bag.

ECO QMR 2.0:
The second generation of the QUICK MOUNT RELEASE (QMR) hook: even easier to use and can be directly locked onto the hook (for example with ABZS 145/20 padlock, optionally available under product code: 2269016). Thanks to included adapters, the QMR hooks fit a wide range of different tube diameters (8-16 mm). Simply choose the appropriate adapter for your rack, fit it into the QRM hook of the bag, adjust the hook’s position with the horizontal dial if need be and hook the bag on the rear rack with just one click. An additional hook with on an elliptical ring allows for individual adjustments to the vertical line of the luggage rack. The ECO version of the system uses hooks made from recycled polyamide.

GREEN SHAPE:
Products with VAUDE's own label fulfil various manufacturer-specific requirements with regard to environmental and social factors, including, for example, material-efficient design, durability, recyclability and reparability. VAUDE checks the entire product life cycle when awarding this label. According to the manufacturer, all VAUDE articles with this label are PFC-free, are largely made from recycled or bio-based materials and also bear the GREEN BUTTON seal.
Note: GREEN SHAPE is the brand's own label and not an independent environmental certificate.

GRÜNER KNOPF (“GREEN BUTTON”):
The German textile seal GRÜNER KNOPF (“Green Button”) identifies textiles that meet high social and environmental standards. This seal also verifies corporate due diligence with regard to defined human rights and ecological criteria. The basis of the verification of theses standards is partly carried out via third-party, independent meta-labels. The publisher of the GREEN BUTTON seal is the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

RECYCLED PET:
The polyester yarn in this product comes (in part) from PET bottles that have been collected, cleaned and processed into granulate. This saves energy, emissions and resources in the manufacturing process of the functional material.

PVC FREE:
VAUDE promises that this product is made entirely without PVC (polyvinylchloride). The material used looks like lorry tarpaulin and is just as durable and waterproof, yet consists of polyurethane coated textile fabric instead of PVC.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached as decorative elements do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
