BACH SHIELD 26 PACK

Little parts - big difference! Wherever applicable we use no. 10 zippers and don’t go smaller than no. 5. Since we started over 40 years ago, we have resisted the temptation to use smaller sizes and cheaper brands and this decision has proven to be right over the years. We always use the zipper chain on the visible outside because it lasts 30% longer than the zipper chain used inside out, with the webbing on the outside. We only use silver nickel-plated zipper sliders, as these have a longer lifetime compared to their coloured counterparts (no matter if powder-coated or with any other dying technology).

PFC (perfluorocarbon) is mainly used in outdoor applications when a water-repellent effect is required (impregnation). Harmful PFCs such as, PFOS (perfluorooctane sulphonic acid) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) accumulate in the environment and organisms, which has a lasting negative effect on them. Since the water-repellent characteristics of BACH textiles are of central importance for the use of our products, we are now using the PFC-free alternative from HeiQ Eco Dry. Not far from us in Switzerland, HeiQ is developing this technology, which has been successfully established in a wide spectrum of textile applications in recent years. At BACH, we therefore guarantee a long-lasting and sustainable impregnation of all textiles used.

PERFECT LOAD CONTROL - OPTIMISED CARRYING COMFORT The BACH 3D SMART DIVIDER is a clever solution that solves the very common problem of heavy items wanting to sink to the bottom of your pack. We want heavy items to stay close to your back for the most comfortable carrying experience. We cannot defy gravity but with the help of the diagonal 3D SMART DIVIDER, heavy items stop sinking sooner than with a traditional horizontal divider and stays close to your back. Packing heavy items at the top and stowing light items at the bottom, ensures that you are carrying your pack in the most ergonomic and efficient way. You may choose to roll up your 3D SMART DIVIDER and easily hide it to convert the pack into a one-compartment pack, with a comfortable front zip for easy access to all your gear from the top and the front of the pack.

The cutout on the hip belt is designed to wrap around the hips, the upper part of the construction can sit comfortably on the hip bone, providing an even better fit. It also allows the appropriate freedom of movement when walking and reduces friction and pressure points on the hip. Moreover, it makes the hip belt lighter without sacrificing comfort.
