Je vais vous présenter la gamme de sacs à dos Asymmetric de Vaude. Donc, on parle de 4 litrages différents. On a deux litrages typés hommes : un 42+8 litres et un 52+8 litres,
  
  [0:18](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-18) c'est celui que je vais vous montrer, que je vais vous présenter en détail. On a deux litrages typés femmes, un 38+8 litres et un 48+8 litres, que je vais vous montrer également dans le détail. Je vous montrerai ce modèle-là. C'est une gamme qui existe depuis
  
  [0:35](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-35) longtemps, mais elle vient d'être totalement revue. Donc, ce qui se passe, c'est qu'elle a gagné en poids. Donc, on reste sur des sacs à dos légers ; elle a quand même gagné en poids, et ça s'explique par un dos qui a été revu et amélioré en termes de confort. Donc, un peu plus de poids, mais on va pouvoir
  
  [0:50](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-50) porter aussi plus de charges. Et ça, c'est pour la première remarque. Deuxième remarque : je vous disais, il y a des litrages hommes et femmes. Chez certaines marques, ce n'est pas toujours justifié, c'est du marketing. Ici, c'est vrai.
  
  [1:06](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-66) Différence : on voit bien là, je vous montre le modèle 48 litres femmes, 52 litres hommes. Vous voyez qu'on est sur un dos plus petit, des ceintures également moins hautes, moins
  
  [1:22](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-82) longues au niveau du modèle femme. Donc, ça a vraiment été adapté à la morphologie femmes et hommes. Les modèles femmes peuvent convenir pour un homme à la taille fine également. Donc, ce n'est pas parce que je dis modèle femme que c'est forcément
  
  [1:38](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-98) réservé aux femmes. Ça, c'était la remarque par rapport aux modèles hommes, modèles femmes. Et la dernière remarque préliminaire, ça concerne le volume, puisque je vous ai donné des volumes en litrage. Vous savez que, sur les sacs à dos, les litrages ne sont pas normés, donc ça dépend des
  
  [1:55](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-115) marques. Et en l'occurrence, chez Vaude, ils sont sous-évalués dans leur litrage. Donc, en fait, si moi je vous parle d'un 52+8, c'est un gros 52 litres. À titre de comparaison, je vais vous montrer un 68 litres \[marque à vérifier\], pour le coup, un petit 68. Je _Passage to check in the video._
  
  [2:11](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-131) vais vous montrer : le 52+8 litres est plus grand que le 60 litres. Oui, on est sur des litrages indiqués moyens, on est sur des litrages assez généreux. Donc, on est bien sur des sacs à dos qui sont conçus pour partir
  
  [2:27](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-147) sur plusieurs jours. Pour les deux modèles les plus petits, ça va très bien pour un week-end ou sur plusieurs jours sans bivouac, et pour les modèles les plus grands, on va pouvoir partir sur plusieurs jours avec de la nourriture et un chargement assez conséquent. Maintenant,
  
  [2:42](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-162) je vais vous montrer dans le détail portage et équipement. Alors, voici le nouveau dos. Il a été revu, on a plus de matelassage que sur le modèle précédent. On a toujours une ceinture très enveloppante, qui est la caractéristique des sacs à dos Vaude, donc très bon
  
  [2:57](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-177) confort, très bon report de charge sur les hanches. Je vous montrerai tout à l'heure sur moi. Et on a toujours des réglages complets. Donc là, vous voyez, on peut régler la hauteur. Donc ça, vraiment, ça doit s'adapter à
  
  [3:12](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-192) tous les gabarits. Réglage de hauteur qui est facile. Et puis on a bien sûr les réglages bretelles, rappels de charge, etc. Donc, on est sur une version modifiée. C'est vrai qu'elle est un peu plus lourde, mais on gagne vraiment fortement
  
  [3:27](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-207) en confort. Même chose au niveau des hanches, on sent bien, à l'essayage, que c'est confortable, surtout pour un sac qui reste léger. Ensuite, côté équipement, donc sur les ceintures, de belles poches de rangement
  
  [3:44](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-224) zippées. Donc, on a une seule poche dans laquelle on peut mettre portable, appareil photo, enfin pas mal de choses. Sur le côté, poches ouvertes élastiques. Et ensuite, en compartiment principal,
  
  [4:02](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-242) intéressant sur ces modèles légers, c'est qu'on a à la fois l'accès au haut, bien sûr, mais on a également un accès valise et un accès bas, ce qu'on trouve habituellement sur des modèles plus lourds. Donc, accès bas
  
  [4:17](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-257) complet qui vous permet de ranger, par exemple, les affaires de bivouac. Alors, une précision : le compartiment bas zippé, il est présent sur les gros litrages, mais pas sur les moyens litrages. Donc, il est présent sur le 52 et sur le
  
  [4:32](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-272) 48 femmes, mais pas sur le 42 et le 38 femmes, qui, eux, ont simplement l'ouverture valise. On a donc des sangles ici, l'accès valise également intéressant
  
  [4:49](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-289) pour accéder facilement au contenu du compartiment principal. Entre l'accès haut, le compartiment haut et le compartiment bas, une cloison qui peut se dézipper pour faire un seul compartiment. Donc, côté équipement, c'est
  
  [5:04](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-304) complet malgré la légèreté. Ensuite, on termine sur cet aspect : en façade, une poche zippée plate, plutôt pour une carte, éventuellement un petit vêtement, mais vêtement compact dans ce cas. Et enfin, un bon rabat.
  
  [5:21](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-321) On a de quoi mettre des choses dedans également, avec en plus, à l'intérieur, une poche filet zippée, porte-clés, etc. Donc, c'est un sac qui permet de bien agencer ses affaires et de bien fonctionner, alors
  
  [5:36](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-336) en randonnée, mais aussi on peut l'utiliser en voyage et en logement en dur, puisque, avec l'accès valise, c'est aussi pratique d'accéder aux affaires les plus vite. On parle, dans la dénomination, de cette facette très haute, ce qui est assez généreux, mais le _Passage to check in the video._
  
  [5:51](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-351) sac, globalement, est déjà bien généreux. Donc, ça se serre facilement, ça se desserre très facilement également. Donc, facile d'utilisation, bien pensé. Compartiment poche à eau, sortie eau, porte
  
  [6:06](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-366) également, équipement classique de ce produit. Alors, en résumé, je vais vous le montrer porté. Donc, on est sur un sac à dos qui demeure, en tout cas, léger, mais qui permet d'être léger tout en permettant de porter assez lourd, parce qu'il y a beaucoup de sacs à dos rigides qui ne
  
  [6:21](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-381) sont pas faits pour porter du poids. Là, comme je vous le montrais tout à l'heure, bon enveloppement des hanches, bon confort. Ça porte bien sur les hanches et le nouveau dos est également confortable. Donc, on va pouvoir randonner longtemps avec ce type de sac. Et le deuxième atout,
  
  [6:37](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-397) c'est que l'équipement, comme je vous le disais, est bien complet. Et comme d'habitude chez Vaude, c'est plutôt... on sent que les finitions sont bonnes. Voilà, ça tient, les zips YKK, costauds, tout tient bien la route. Voilà, donc
  
  [6:53](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/1758-women-s-asymmetric-488-women-s-backpack.html#video-xk53kahlDec-t-413) vous retrouvez ces quatre modèles sur rayonrando.com.

## Customer reviews

- 5/5, review dated 22/01/2026 : Sac de qualité Hâte de l'utiliser !
- 5/5, review dated 23/05/2022 : Assez léger, pratique avec l'ouverture valise. Je regrette seulement qu'il n'ait pas le protège pluie intégré
- 5/5, review dated 07/09/2019 : Je l'essaie bientôt, en tout cas bien pratique déjà pour le remplir
- 5/5, review dated 15/12/2018 : Sac à dos super pratique, avec assez de poches mais pas trop, et tout en légèreté. Les couleurs rendent vraiment bien. L'ouverture à l'avant est super pratique, j'aurais maintenant du mal à m'en passer. Le compartiment du bas pour le sac de couchage est nickel. Je l'ai testé sur un trek de 3 semaines, avec packing au plus light (8kg 2kg d'eau), et pas de problème du tout (à part un bidule en plastique qui a sauté au bout d'un élastique), et le sac était toujours bien stable.
- 5/5, review dated 21/05/2017 : sac à dos qui a répondu à mes attentes exprimées par mail
