serious injury in the event of a fall when engaging in these activities.
The EVOC Backpack with integrated back protector is made for a temperature range
from -20°C to +40°C.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RESTRICTIONS ON USE / EXCLUSION
The EVOC backpack with integrated back protector has been designed and certified specifically
for the sports described in section "Purpose / Area of application". Excluded from this are events
in the extreme range of these sports. This backpack is not suitable for sports other than those
mentioned above, in particular not for the use in motor sports or with motor vehicles such as
motorcycles, snowmobiles, quads or similar vehicles.
Protection against all injuries cannot be guaranteed. This includes twisting, overstretching or
compression, as well as spine compression fractures.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The EVOC backpack with integrated back protector can reduce the severity of injury from impact
only if it is correctly positioned and worn. Please observe section "Correct fit | Adjust backpack".
No changes may be made to the backpack including the back protector in order not to impair its
protective effect.
The flexibility of the protector is ensured by the surface material property; however, the protector
should not be bent.
• Make sure that the backpack is not too high or too low on your back. Tighten shoulder straps,
chest strap and hip belt.
• Before each use, make sure that all straps, belts, buckles and plug fasteners are tight.
• Be aware that carrying with you any pointy and/or sharp objects (such as knives, screwdrivers,
crampons, tools, bottles and other hard objects) can impair the protective function.
04
• Do not carry any glass bottles or explosive objects (such as gas cartridges and pressure contain-
ers) or highly flammable and corrosive liquids in the backpack.
• Make sure that all objects that could damage the protector are not loose in the backpack. Protect
pointy and /or sharp objects properly (with a tool bag, protective cover for crampons, knife case
etc.) and pack them such that they point away from the body
• When using ski lifts or similar transport facilities, take the backpack off, or, alternatively, make
sure the backpack does not get caught on something when you get off the lift.
• When using the backpack with a strapped-on snowboard, skis and/or climbing assistance devices
(such as snowshoes or short skis), please note that the greater size and much higher centre of
gravity can increase the risk of getting caught on something or of you losing your balance.
• Please note that a backpack containing heavy objects may have a negative impact on the sports
activity.
CHECK BEFORE EACH USE
Before each use, make sure that the backpack and the protector are fully functional. Proceed as
follows.
• Make sure the protector shows no mechanical damage.
• Check how the backpack is packed. Heavy items should be at the bottom and as close as
possible to the body's centre of gravity. Pointed or sharp objects should be wrapped up addi-
tionally and positioned such that they point away from the body.
• Make sure that the content of the backpack is sufficiently secured and stays in place.
• Make sure that the backpack is properly closed with all plug fasteners and zips and that they
are all in proper working order.
• Check the tensile strength of the stitches of the shoulder straps and hip belts.
• Make sure none of the straps or belts have any tears or other structural damage.
• Check that the protector is correctly fitted inside the
backpack. To do this, ensure that the EVOC logo and
size label on the protector are facing the inside of the
backpack.
