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.
How to adjust your bag?
1 - Loosen all straps (shoulder straps, belt, load reminders)
2 - Put on the bag
3 - Tighten the shoulder straps
4 - Adjust the load reminders to your liking
How to fill your backpack?
Place heavy equipment at the back. Clothes are stored around them. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece close at hand. In the pockets, divide up the day's small items (sun cream, map, glasses, etc.).
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.
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 all your feedback, we've improved the conception and design of our NH100 10-liter backpack.
In this new model, we've added a double zipper on the main pocket and a larger bottom pocket on the outside pocket. The aim is to make sure you don't lose your belongings when opening the bag.
Of course, we haven't increased the price!
