VaudeRupal Light 18 - Touring backpack

The Rupal Light 18 is a mountaineering backpack designed by the brand Vaude, ideal for short trips in the mountains where every gram counts. With its narrow shape that guarantees maximum freedom of movement, especially at the shoulders, the Rupal Light 18 is directly inspired by trail running. Superfluous features have been removed to lighten the weight of the Rupal Light 18 and make it an ultra-minimalist backpack. A lightweight and removable hip belt, adjustable back, aluminum reinforcements, and removable padding also contribute to reducing the weight of the Rupal Light 18. Compressible to become as flat as possible, this backpack can still hold a rope at the top, as well as poles or ice axes at the front. A lightweight designed for performance!
