- In the small compartment, divide up the day's small equipment, electronic devices, map, sun cream, glasses, etc.;
- In the side pocket, place your water bottle.
How to adjust your bag?

Waterproofing
The bag's components are water-repellent, so you can temporarily continue your walk/hiking in light rain.
Please note: this backpack is not waterproof/water-repellent and does not come with a rain cover.
If you want to continue your walk/hiking in wet weather and protect your belongings, we recommend this model: "10 to 20-liter rain cover", available on our website, reference 8772113.
How is volume measured?
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: we use small balls to fill the main compartment and each of the pockets. We then empty the balls into a graduated container, which gives us the equivalent volume in liters.
Tested for optimum strength
We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag's components: fabrics, buckles, straps, foams and zips. For example, we test fabric for abrasion and tear resistance, color fastness to UV rays and washing, and waterproofing. We also carry out tests to check the resistance of assemblies, by reproducing the bag's stresses and strains over a period of years on a dummy reproducing a hiker's movements.
Your opinion is important to us!
Thanks to your feedback, we've improved the design of our backpack.
This backpack has been tested with a large number of hikers, enabling us to check the functions in use and make a few improvements.
In this new model, we've added a double zip on the main pocket, a side pocket and a reinforced bottom.
