HAGLÖFS INTRODUCES HELIOS & TIGHT VX – CLASSIC DAYPACKS IN HIGH-TECH PREMIUM MODELS
Tight VX and Helios VX are two new additions to the Haglöfs backpack range. Made from high-performance fabric and packed with smart, modern design touches and details, they are ideal for everyday use as well as fast-paced urban and outdoor pursuits.
Both the Tight VX and the Helios VX are made from a high-performance fabric called VX21 X-Pac, originally developed for the sails of ships in ocean races where rough weather conditions are a way of life. The backpacks are feature-heavy, and the technical material used in their construction is complemented by genuine leather details which will age beautifully and provide a unique, distinctive look.
