Vaude’s greatest trick is making a large, spacious pack sit neatly in place without any drama, even when fully laden. That’s mainly due to the (removable) solid backplate and the cavernous main pocket. Tools have their own easy-access pocket and there’s plenty of support thanks to the chunky waist straps.
The Tracer’s load
capacity, security and helmet storage make it ideal for travelling or multi-day
rides, while the pull-out rain cover with reflective detailing makes it a great
option if you’re looking for a trail pack that’ll happily take in the odd
commute too. The well-padded shoulder straps keep things comfy, though
the sheer size may deter those looking for a pack that’s as at home on an
enduro stage as it is on an XC spin.
