我不但知道欧洲款也是国内制造,我还知道国内制造的欧洲款驮包会打标made in Germany
关于欧洲的款和国内的款(国内的款大概只有在vaude中国的手册上才能看到了)。
我想说的三个典型的代表Karakorum,Discover,Aqua是分别属于低中高三个档次的东西。
它们面料和设计绝对不一样,Karakorum不是全防水的设计,后两者是全防水设计,对于羌塘经常需要过河来说,防水非常重要。
它们扣件可能一样,也可能不一样。至少在我
2)world tramp II的扣件和我后来从vaude工厂拿到替换的扣件相比,质量的差别还是非常大的。如果所有扣件都一样,那我只能认为是vaude产品质量下降了。
我有扣件断裂的图片,能显示Discover的扣件内部的质量,比较糟糕。

关于vaude的产品,帐篷和驮包,我还咨询了我的朋友Janne Corax,也是欧洲vaude赞助的队员,他是世界上第一个用自行车穿越羌塘的人,在wikipedia(维基百科)上可以搜到他的名字
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janne_Corax
我只想摘录wikipedia上的一句话来介绍他:“He is an authority on Tibet”,翻译成中文就是:他是一位西藏的权威
我咨询了几个他用过或者没用过的产品,摘录了三封邮件中的部分在下面,斜体是我的问题或者观点,其他为他的回复:
Mail 1:关于hogan ultralight帐篷和vaude的产品质量问题
how about vaude hogan ultralight tent?
i have never tried that one myself, but i have heard mixed reports about it. some says it’s a light, easy to set up tent which is good enough for most situations, while others have told me it’s not strong enough when the weather gets really rough.
i met vaude china’s people and they might be my sponsor and support me
a set of equipment. so, i’m choosing a new tent now.
vaude has been my sponsor for a long time and i think most of their products are good. unfortunately they have started to cheat and down grade some details to save money. it’s a really bad tactics when they start to use cheaper zippers for example. i hope they realize that and use high quality stuff again.
Mail 2:依然是关于hogan ultralight帐篷,和vaude的自行车驮包
i also don’t believe that hogan ultralight tent is strong enough, but
wish it is good enough for my normal use.
i think it’s a great tent for “normal” cycling and hiking. I wouldn’t trust my life on it on a higher peak or a chang tang biking trip.
the price of vaude are getting more and more cheap, so the quality is
downgraded. but i think the aqua series bike packs are good enough.
yes, their bike panniers are still of very good quality i think. the best on the market i would say.
Mail 3:关于vaude已经停产的space explorer帐篷和当前的款space K2帐篷的比较,和关于ortlieb与vaude驮包的专利官司和质量比较
if try to choose another vaude tent for changtang trip, is there other
suggestion? you told me about the vaude space explorer model, but
can’t find this one on vaude’s international home page. maybe a new
model is space k2, but it’s really heavy.
the space explorer was dropped as a model two years ago. it’s very strange as it was one of vaude’s best selling models ever and it had been around for almost 20 years. i liked that tent a lot.
i have also used space K2 which is the big brother of space explorer. i also think it’s way too heavy for one person and even when nadine and i were using it together we thought the weight was a bit too much even when shared by two. it’s a good and strong tent though. if i would go for a long cold expedition with another person i may choose the K2.
i heard ortlieb is better than vaude, how about your opinion?
ortlied started to make the water proof bags and vaude copied them. it was even a copyright case about that in germany. in the beginning ortlieb was much better, with high quality and vaude was just a quite cheap copy. during the years ortlieb started to downgrade the base materials and the components, while vaude’s products got better and better.
today i prefer vaude.
