The components of the bag are water-repellent so that you can temporarily continue walking/hiking in light rain.
Caution: this backpack is not watertight/waterproof and it does not have a rain cover.
If you want to continue walking/hiking in the rain and protect your belongings, we recommend the following model: “20 to 40L rain cover”, which can be viewed on our website, item reference 8734213. |
| How is volume measured? |
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standard method: we fill the main compartment, as well as each pocket, with little balls. Then we empty these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in litres.
The capacity of the main volume of this bag is 32L.
We also measured the volume with the 2 exterior side water bottle pockets, whereby its total capacity increases to 32L. |
| Tested for optimal durability |
To guarantee the durability of the bag, laboratory tests are conducted on the components and assemblies to replicate the ageing of the backpack.
For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, the colour fastness when exposed to UV light and washing, and the waterproofing.
We use these tests to guarantee the bags for a period of 10 years from the date of purchase on the receipt. |
| How to adjust your backpack? |
1 - Loosen all the straps, shoulder straps, waist belt and chest belt
2 - Put the bag on
3 - Buckle the chest strap and adjust its height and width
4 - Tighten the shoulder straps (from top to bottom)
5 - Buckle and adjust the waist belt
6 - Adjust it to your liking

| How to fill your backpack? |
