The STAGE 18 is a versatile, technical daypack. Hallmark of the series is the BRACE LINK through which the shoulder width of the wearer adapts individually. The number one for those who do not compromise on comfort and back ventilation. Brace LinkThe Brace Link system impresses with optimal adjustment of the backpack straps to the shoulder width of the athlete. The flexible alignment helps distribute the load to the body's center of gravity while eliminating the contact area with the back and shoulders. The Brace Link also makes it possible to wear a neck brace. AIRO FLEXAiro Flex refers to an extremely strong fabric that is as permeable to air as it is flexible. Evoc uses it in the highest quality hip belts to combine optimal load transfer to the hips with maximum ventilation - for maximum comfort. Air Flow Contact SystemThe requirement here is to transfer even larger loads as neutrally as possible to the body's center of gravity, while minimizing the contact surfaces with the back and shoulders. Evoc solves this resistance with a back section in which the ventilation components such as large ventilation channels and specially milled and perforated EVA pads are moved inward behind a mesh fabric. This achieves a close-to-back fit while optimizing back ventilation. Hipbelt wings and shoulder straps with Air Mesh as well as ventilation slots extend the concept of the close-fitting yet well-ventilated back system. AIR CIRCULATIONConstant, free air circulation is ensured by the vertically routed air channel. This ensures optimal ventilation even during high exertion and perspiration and prevents the sensitive kidney area from cooling down.
