Seal
The bag components are water-repellent, so they can withstand a short time in light rain. ATTENTION: This backpack is not waterproof and does not come with a rain cover.
If you want to be able to hike/trek in rainy weather and keep your kit dry, we recommend the following model: "Rain Cover 10-20L", available on our website, reference 8772113.
How do we measure the volume of bags?
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardised method: we fill the main compartment, as well as each pocket, with small balls. We then empty the balls into a container with markings on the side, which tells us the equivalent volume in litres.
Tested for optimal resistance
We perform various lab tests to validate the bag components: fabrics, buckles, straps, padding, zips. For example, for fabric, we test the abrasion and tear resistance, colour-fastness to light and washing, and waterproofing. We also do tests to check the resistance of seams with accelerated wear tests on a mannequin to imitate a hiker's movements.
Your opinion matters to us!
Based on your feedback, we improved the design of our backpack.
This bag was tested by many hikers, who provided their feedback on the functions so we could improve the design.
For this new model, we added a two-way zip on the main pocket plus a side pocket, and we reinforced the base.
