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.
The main volume of this bag is 23 L.
We have also measured the volume with the 2 external side pockets, and its total capacity is 25 L.
Your comfort comes first
To make the most of your hikes, we put comfort at the heart of our product design.
The back, shoulder straps and handle are comfortable thanks to a thickness and structure composed of different foams covered with 3D mesh to improve ventilation and drying.
The chest strap is adjustable in height and width, with cushioning.
- Back: 5 pads composed of 2 foams (PE - PU) 15 mm thick,
- Shoulder straps composed of 2 foams (EVA - PU) 8 -13 mm thick.

Tested for optimum strength
To ensure the durability of your bag, laboratory tests are carried out on components and assemblies, simulating the aging of backpacks.
For example, we test fabric for abrasion and tear resistance, color fastness to UV rays and washing, and waterproofing.
These tests enable us to guarantee tested bags for 10 years from the date of purchase indicated on the sales receipt.
