TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
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 main bag’s volume capacity is 23 L.
We have measured the volume with the 2 water bottle outer side pockets, its total capacity reaches 25 L.
Your comfort above all
To fully enjoy your hikes, we put comfort at the heart of our product design.
The back, shoulder straps & handle are comfortable because of their thickness and construction composed of different types of foam padding covered with a 3D mesh to improve ventilation & drying.
The chest strap has cushioning, & its height and width is adjustable.
- Back: 5 pads made from 2 types of foam (PE - PU) 15 mm thick,
- Shoulder straps made from 2 types of foam (EVA - PU) 8-13 mm thick.

WATERPROOFING

This bag can be used as cabin baggage for a plane trip as its dimensions meet airline (IATA) requirements. We recommend that you contact your airline for details of the size and weight restrictions on cabin baggage.
Tested for optimal durability
To ensure the bag is strong enough, we conduct laboratory tests on the components and seams, which replicate the long-term wear and tear that the backpack will endure.
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?
- Loosen all the straps, shoulder, stomach and chest,
- Put the bag on,
- Buckle the chest strap, adjust the height and width,
- Tighten the shoulder straps (top to bottom),
- Adjust as needed.
It’s adjusted!

- Place small items for daily use (phone, sun cream, map, glasses, keys, wallet, etc.) in the pockets ;
