Description

A vest for the long night. The Eklipse 12L is made for ultras up to 180 km or more, where you carry clothing, food and mandatory gear for several kinds of weather. The back is water-resistant all round, so your gear is better protected.

One big opening instead of many small ones. The back shell opens wide, so you see and grab everything without searching. You notice that when you are tired or it is dark and you quickly need a jacket or an extra layer.

You adjust the chest straps and sides while running. Note: the Eklipse is not compatible with the Ergo Quiver, so you carry poles another way.

Choose the Eklipse when weather protection and volume come first. Want to carry poles in a quiver? Look at the X 10L.

Why Instinct?

Somewhere around kilometre thirty you want to reach your food or your phone without taking off your vest or stopping. That is exactly why we carry Instinct at Trail.NL.

The French brand from the Alps makes trail vests, packs, quivers and bottles that sit high and barely move. The range runs from a minimalist vest for a marathon to a 40 litre pack for multi-day trips, for ultras and long days in the mountains.

For us, Instinct is above all a well-thought-out choice: plenty of storage within reach, an adjustable fit and gear designed for long distances.

Frequently asked questions

Which colours are available?

The Eklipse 12L comes in Black / Yellow and Black / Black.

Is the back waterproof?

The back shell is water-resistant all round and has a wide opening. Water-resistant is not the same as waterproof; in prolonged rain your gear stays safest in a dry bag.

Can I use the Ergo Quiver?

No, the Eklipse is not compatible with the Ergo Quiver.

What distance is it meant for?

For long ultras, up to 180 km or more.

Heel fijn trailvest

Heel fijn trailvest. Zit zeer prettig en heeft ruim voldoende ruimte om alles mee te nemen tijdens je Ultra trail. Indien gewenst, is er ook nog een losse quiver te bestellen voor je poles. Instinct levert soft flasks die net even groter zijn dan veel andere merken.
