GENERAL INFORMATION
1.| MAIN BENEFITS
We seek to design the best-possible solutions for mountain enthusiasts
based on our philosophy of creating strong & light products.
We understand our users’ needs and provides the right features and bene-
fits for them to enjoy their adventures:
Strength & durability
Our design team carefully analyses the exact functions of each part of a
backpack to define performance requirements, select an optimum combina-
tion of materials and engineer the strongest gear for the longest use.
Lightweight design
Our sophisticated design solutions use the best materials to minimize
weight. Lightweight fabrics, buckles, straps and accessories also help keep
weight down.
Optimal load distribution
SALEWA trekking backpacks are fitted with Custom FIT and Custom FIT PRO
carrying systems. Their easy-adjust torso lengths, mean that even heavy
loads can be carried comfortably for long periods. For optimal load distri-
bution, ensure that the carrying system is properly adjusted, including the
load control straps. In addition, make sure your pack is set up correctly, both
horizontally and vertically.
Ventilation
Sweating cools down the body via evaporation. Conventional backpacks
stop this happening as their back panels prevent the ventilation sweat
requires to evaporate. The wet back panels mean you get chilled. All
SALEWA backpack back panels are designed to ensure good ventilation.
2.| CARRYING SYSTEMS
SALEWA has two different carrying systems. Depending on size and area of
use, its backpacks are equipped with an AIR FIT or a CONTACT FIT system.
Our AIR FIT system maximizes ventilation and minimizes the backpack sur-
face in contact with the body; the CONTACT FIT system keeps the load bary-
centre of the backpack close to the body for maximum control on ascents
and provides good ventilation through its air channels.
