Vacuole
Price:
NZD199.00
The Vacuole was the first backpack ever made by Cactus. The fact that some of the originals are still around is testimony to its pedigree. The classic design lends itself towards versatility
and this had ensured its enduring popularity. Over the years (19 and counting) we’ve updated
it with new materials and ideas to maintain its relevance. If you are only going to own one pack, the vacuole is a strong contender. Designed for heavier day loads the harness sports our c-aircell fabric, and a 38mm webbing waist belt.
- CC-aircell harness and a 38mmwebbing hip belt all contribute comfort and stability be it lugging books to university or ski touring
- Internal hydro sleeve to keep you on the go
- Compression straps stabilise the load, take the stress off the zip, and allow awkward items
(camera tripod, perhaps?) to be carried externally - Ice axe loop and shock cord for crampons keep the winter options open, and can be used
for other things – axe loop for your flashing bike light, shock cord for – well – anything… - ‘Road kill’ front pocket for those wee
items – keys, wallet, phone etc
- Volume: 37 Litres
- Weight: 825 Grams
- Measurements: 500 x 280 x 190mm
- Fabrics : C-1000n6, C-Aircell
- Our pack fabrics have an internal water proof coating and an external DWR coating. For increased longevity of these coatings we do not recommend machine washing
- Brush dirt from the product while still dry
- Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one that's nice to the earth
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also lightly oil or wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan
- Drip dry without creases

With over six year of hard use including 2 years of rugged abuse in Norway working at an Outdoor Centre; it only required a lick of waterproofing
spray a year ago - it was still going strong.I loved my Vacuole and still would if only my house hadn't been burgled and the b@Stard who did hadn't
decided to use it to carry all my computer gear away. Saying that I am glad that he did empty out my climbing gear out on the floor. Long live my
Vacoule where ever you may be. I just wish I could afford to purchase another one.

Probably the best zip-up pack I ever owned (apart from my Moon Unit). Went everywhere with me in Aussie swallowing everything I needed for travelling.
And then coped with over night tramps when I got home. Great pack!!

I was privileged to acquire one of the Vacuole prototypes in 1994, after 15 years of hard and regular use it was showing a few signs of wear and tear,
so in April 2009, I got another one. Simply put, this is absolutely the most rugged, comfortable, and well built pack I've ever come across. If you
care about durability, functionality, ethics, and design, the Vacuole is the best love or money can buy!
