Berghaus Bioflex Lands Top Innovation Gong

Gear news in association with
eVent Fabrics

The new Berghaus Bioflex C7 Pro rucksac has won an ISPO Outdoor Award for best hardwear product innovation in the European outdoor industry.

The awards are presented at the annual European outdoors trade show at Munich in Germany and are much sought after within the industry. The judges look for innovation, function, quality, technical solutions, user friendliness, ease of operation and design and were apparently mucho impressed by the C7 Pro with its radical new Bioflex back system.

Bioflex - see our recent initial user impressions - is a back sytem and harness that allows pack and the body to flex and pivot as you move, unlike conventional big packs which tend to restrict your mobility. We found it worked like nothing else we've tried and it looks like the ISPO judges agreed with us.

Head of product at Berghaus Richard Leedham comments:'A tremendous amount of time and effort has gone into producing the Bioflex range and receiving the ISPO award is testament to a fantastic team of people that have been behind the scenes. Bioflexhas already received outstanding reviews and feedback from the outdoor industry and we believe it will significantly influence the concept and design of backpacking sacs for years to come.'

BioFlex is used throughout the new C7 series of backpacking sacs. At the top of the range is the C7 Pro sac incorporating BioFlex along with Berghaus Dry Fusion waterproof seam technology, EVABreathe foam, a moulded occipital cavity, finger grip, breather hip fins and materials such as Dupont Cordura 700D. The C7 Pro sac is available in men's and women's versions and has a Suggested Retail Price (SRP) of £180. BioFlex also features in the C7 2 sacs for men and women (SRP £130) and the C7 1 sacs for men and women (SRP £100).
