In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.
Fair Wear Foundation
VAUDE is committed to good working conditions and fair wages for everyone. They are members of the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) and undertake to continuously improve working conditions in all production facilities. These are checked regularly. With leader status, VAUDE has achieved the highest status as an FWF member.
Green Shape label
Green Shape is your VAUDE guarantee for environmentally friendly products - made from sustainable materials, resource-saving manufacturing and fair production.
PVC free
The VAUDE seal "PVC-free" means that this product is made entirely without PVC (polyvinyl chloride). PVC often contains plasticizers (phthalates) which are suspected of being harmful to health.
ECO Finish: Environmentally friendly water repellentq
VAUDE products with Eco Finish are environmentally friendly and water-repellent without fluorocarbons (PFC). PFCs belong to a group of chemical compounds that are used in many outdoor products to impregnate the outer fabric. They have come under criticism because they are considered non-degradable, accumulate in the body and are suspected of being harmful to health. VAUDE has made a clear commitment to avoid using PFCs entirely.
Recycling polyamide - functional polyamide from resource-saving production
Recycled polyamide obtained from fishing nets or carpets, for example. Instead of disposing of excess material or leftovers from textile production as waste, we collect them, process them and use them again for production. In this way, valuable resources are utilized to the maximum and as few new raw materials as possible are used. In this way we protect the climate and save CO2.
QMR 2.0 - easy to use fastening system
QMR (Quick Mount Release) 2.0 is a high-quality and technically sophisticated fastening system with hooks for your VAUDE pannier. The second generation is even easier to use and can be locked directly on the hook with a padlock (e.g. Abus 145/20). The QMR system is suitable for luggage carrier bars with a tube diameter of 8 to 16 millimeters. The scope includes three reducers (8, 10 and 13mm). The maximum load per bag is 12.5kg.
Hard Back 2.0 - impact and abrasion resistant hard shell back
The hard shell back of the bag "Hard Back 2.0" is made of sturdy plastic. Your VAUDE bike bag is extremely impact and abrasion resistant. The heavily used edges are equipped with non-slip feet. You can rotate the lower guide hook freely by 360 degrees. In this way, your bike bag can be flexibly adapted to any luggage rack. The maximum load is 12.5kg per bag.
Rotating attachment
Smart attachment for shoulder straps. The strap is released via a buckle, only one button remains visible on the bag. The built-in rotation stop prevents the bag from tipping over while being carried.
