ABS bike backpack: the modular principle

The backpack system from ABS consists of two units, which can be varied depending on use and requirements. The base unit always serves as the basis. Suitable for skiing there is the base unit with and without an airbag system, a version for bikes with light (non-certified) protection on the back and a special version for hikers and trekking.

The zip-on is attached to the base unit with a massive zip all the way around. A distinction is usually made between the different sizes, the material and the color. There are ultra-light variants, but also more stable and waterproof bags. The s.Light zip-on unit, which is available in sizes of 15 liters and 30 liters and impresses with its extremely low weight, is best suited for bikers.
