Trekking backpack VAUDE Avox 65+10 — 75 L, top loading, polyester/PU, 2.62 kg, black

VAUDE Avox 65+10 is a 75 L trekking backpack designed for multi-day hikes and extended trekking trips. The pack features a top-loading main compartment with a separate bottom compartment for a sleeping bag and a detachable, height-adjustable lid that adds 10 L of capacity or can be used separately as a hip pack. Constructed primarily from recycled polyester with a polyurethane coating and an Eco Finish water- and stain-resistant treatment without fluorocarbons, the backpack balances durability and environmental considerations. The internal layout includes a front opening to the main compartment, a spacious front stretch pocket, side stretch pockets accessible on the go, internal zip pocketing and an information panel for alpine emergencies. Integrated features such as a rain cover, daisy chain, compression straps and multiple attachment points support secure transport of shelter, clothing and equipment.

Advantages

The Tergolight Comfort Space Pro suspension provides adjustable back length and individually adjustable load positioning straps to distribute heavy loads comfortably and reduce pressure on the lower back. Ergoshape shoulder straps are ergonomically shaped to allow good freedom of movement while remaining comfortable under load. A well-padded hip belt with pocket and a back recess aimed at sacroiliac relief improve comfort on long tours. The pack’s materials are largely recycled and the Eco Finish offers water and dirt repellency without harmful PFCs. Practical features such as a removable lid, front opening, separate bottom compartment and integrated rain cover make gear access and organisation straightforward on trail.

How to use

Load heavy items such as food and stove close to the back and in the middle of the pack to maintain stability; place the sleeping bag in the separate bottom compartment or remove the divider as needed. Adjust back length and load positioning straps so the hip belt sits on your pelvis and the majority of the load transfers to the hips. Use the Ergoshape shoulder straps and sternum strap to stabilise the load while preserving arm movement. The detachable lid can be used to increase capacity or as a compact hip pack for shorter excursions. Use the side and front stretch pockets for items you need to access without removing the pack.

Usage recommendations

For long, loaded treks adjust the suspension and load positioning before setting out and periodically during the hike. Reapply a suitable aftercare product to the outer fabric when water repellency diminishes to maintain Eco Finish performance. Use the integrated rain cover in heavy precipitation and distribute weight evenly to reduce strain on the lower back and sacroiliac area.
