What is the Salewa Pedroc Active 12L?
The Pedroc Active 12L is built for high-output activities where speed, stability, and comfort are key. Designed for biking and speed hiking, this compact pack keeps weight close to the body and minimises bounce during fast movement on technical terrain.
Its streamlined shape, ergonomic shoulder straps, and adjustable sternum strap system create a secure, athletic fit that moves naturally with you. With just the right amount of storage for essentials, hydration compatibility, and easy-access pockets, the Pedroc Active 12L is ideal for shorter, faster missions where efficiency matters most.
What is it made of?
The Pedroc Active 12L is constructed from Ocean recycled ripstop nylon 100D, a lightweight yet robust fabric designed for demanding, fast-paced outdoor use. By using recycled nylon sourced from ocean-bound waste, Salewa reduces environmental impact without sacrificing durability or performance.
Ripstop Weave for Tear Resistance
The ripstop structure integrates a reinforced grid into the fabric, helping prevent small cuts or abrasions from spreading. This is particularly valuable when moving quickly through rocky terrain, narrow trails, or dense vegetation.
Lightweight Strength for High-Output Use
At 100 denier, the fabric strikes an excellent balance between strength and weight. It keeps the pack light and agile on your back, supporting fast hiking and riding without unnecessary bulk.
Built for Repeated Use
Despite its minimal weight, the material offers solid abrasion resistance in high-contact areas such as the back panel and shoulder straps, ensuring reliable performance over time.
What type of back system is used?
The Dry Back Contact carrying system is designed to keep the pack close to the body while improving breathability during intense activity. EVA padding combined with 3D ventilation channels promotes airflow across the back, helping reduce heat buildup and moisture during sustained movement.
This contact-style back system prioritises stability and freedom of movement, keeping the pack secure on technical terrain while remaining comfortable over long efforts.
What are its features?
Full-Length Zip Access
A full zip-length opening allows quick, direct access to the main compartment. You can see and reach your gear instantly without unpacking everything — ideal for fast stops on the trail or mid-ride adjustments.
Ergonomic Shoulder Straps
The shoulder straps are shaped to follow the body’s natural contours, providing a stable, balanced carry when moving quickly. Integrated multifunctional strap pockets give you easy access to small essentials like snacks, a phone, or sunglasses on the move.
Hydration Compatibility
Side tube guides allow clean and secure routing of a hydration hose, supporting hands-free drinking during fast-paced activities without distraction.
Secure Load Control
An adjustable sternum strap, additional lower sternum strap, and pole fixation cords work together to stabilise the load. This reduces bounce and shifting, helping the pack move with you rather than against you on dynamic terrain.
Practical Storage Layout
Expandable flask pockets, a front net pocket, an inner valuables pocket, and a key holder keep essentials organised and accessible while maintaining a clean, streamlined profile.
