| WATERPROOFING |
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 40 L 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. |
| How to adjust your backpack? |
- Loosen all the straps (straps, belts, load adjuster straps),
- Put on the backpack,
- Tighten the shoulder straps,
- Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed. |
| How to fill your backpack? |
- Put your heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items;
- Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece within easy reach;
- Place small items for the day (sun cream, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets. ;
- The flask can be placed in the side pockets designed for this. |
| Tested for optimal durability |
We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag's components: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zips. For example, for a fabric, we test resistance to abrasion and tearing, colour fastness when subject to UV light and washing, waterproofing. We also conduct tests to check the resistance of assembly using a dummy that reproduces the movements of a hiker to replicate several years of wear and tear on the bag. |
| Your opinion is important to us! |
Thanks to all your feedback, we have improved the design of our NH100 30-litre backpack.
In this new model, we have added a compartment in the large pocket as well as a zipped pocket. We have also changed the opening to make the contents of your backpack more accessible. |
