The Nordic is a real winter hydration backpack that uses the body as its heat source. With a thin permeable membrane and using space suit technology, USWE’s solution has solved both the issue of insulation and heat source.

The technology we have developed is called Thermo Cell. It has been successfully tested in -26 °C / -15 °F cold temperature, with a final result measured at +19 °C / +56 °F inside the Thermo Cell™ pocket where the hydration tube was stored. Statement of the jury An exceptional solution for extreme cold environments, the hydrating backpack appears minimal, futuristic and dynamic. The product incorporates interstellar technology as well as cutting-edge resources to maintain liquids at double-digit temperatures.

VERTICAL 4 is a running pack that stands out from its competitors by its patented No Dancing Monkey harness technology that makes the pack 100 % bounce free in action. The stretch in the straps delivers optimized freedom of movement, it supports your breathing capacity and allows you to snag the pack tight without cramping your style. The straps offer individual fit for men and women. 

Statement of the jury:

The Action Camera Harness is a well-integrated and very comfortable action camera holder compatible with almost every USWE backpack. It’s aimed at both hobby and professional filmmakers and eliminates the need to wear an uncomfortable chest mount under the backpack. Velcro fasteners on the shoulder and hip straps allow the harness to be attached and detached quickly and ensure a comfortable and firm fit. Once the filming session is over, the holder can quickly be removed and stored in the backpack. It’s compatible with all GoPro models and retails at a similar price as GoPro’s Chesty strap.

The USWE ACTION CAMERA HARNESS convinced our jury with its good fit, superb integration and high level of comfort while filming in the Chest Mount perspective with a USWE backpack.
