Thanks for the information. Unfortunately only one Backpack Version is available as "Made in Germany". Yes, it lists two, but the only difference is the material used (one is waterproof, the other is not).

Does anyone how any experience from Vaude's backpacks? I'm thinking about buying the Proof 22 multifunctional backpack, or something similar from Vaude or other brands, but it would be nice to hear from someone with experience from it.

I have an old (as in previous generation) Brenta 40 and a Wizard 24 and I quite like them

Have you had them for a long time? How is the quality? My current backpack must be 10 years and show wear and I want to replace it before I get holes in it. It's a cheap North face which I use it daily for commuting, short hikes and travels.

How is the ergonomics of your backpacks?

I have not really decided on the size of my new backpack, the current one is 26 liters. And I might go for something similar, like the 22 liters backpack, or I might go for one smaller and one bigger.

I don't personally, let's hope someone else can chime in
