The KERBHOLZ was conceived to provide an innovative solution to the enduring challenges of carrying and organizing gear encountered when using a backpack (size M: approximately 45+15 liters; size L: approximately 50+15 liters).
Its major asset is its entirely novel pivot system, specially developed in the field, which allows for a high degree of freedom of movement during walking and provides truly exceptional comfort (video).
Equipped with an original, robust, highly customizable, and intelligently accessorized ergonomic design, it's a highly versatile bag, suitable for everything from a two-day bivouac to an ambitious multi-week trek, including daily skiing or snowshoeing.
Its back length is adjustable (size M: from 1.65m to 1.80m; size L: from 1.75m to 1.90m).
Thanks to its specifically adjustable belt and its straps with adjustable spacing, it is suitable for all body types.
