Explore the mountains all year round with the VAUDE Rupal 45+, perfect for climbers seeking adventure and durability.
The large hiking backpack is designed for both male and female climbers who explore the mountains year-round, whether skiing, at high altitudes, or climbing. The Rupal 45+ alpine backpack stands out primarily for its versatile use: you can remove its lightweight hip belt, which transfers the load during the approach, and it can disappear into the backpack to provide better freedom of movement once on the wall. The large compartment for a hydration bladder can accommodate a shovel in winter, with the handle and probe secured separately. The ergonomically shaped shoulder straps offer unlimited freedom of movement in the FoM (Freedom of Movement) variant – even overhead, such as when climbing. An additional zipper at the bottom front allows quick access to the main compartment. The aluminium frame of the alpine backpack can be individually adjusted and can be removed if necessary. The rope attachment is located under the adjustable height hood (for an extra 5 to 6 litres of volume). External attachments are provided for two ice axes and a helmet. A side pocket and compression straps help secure skis or trekking poles. Two straps with buckles are also attached at the front to secure additional gear.
