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: "rain cover 20 to 40 liters", available on our website, reference 8734213.
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?
- Loosen all straps (shoulder straps, belts, load reminders),
- Put on the bag,
- Tighten the shoulder straps,
- Adjust the load reminders to your liking.
How to fill your backpack?
- Place heavy equipment at the back. Clothing can be stored around it;
- Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece close at hand;
- In the pockets, divide up the day's small equipment (sun cream, map, glasses, etc.);
- The water bottle can be placed in the outside side pockets provided for this purpose.
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 30 Liters backpack.
In this new model, we've added a compartment in the large pocket as well as a zipped pocket. We've also changed the opening to make the contents of your backpack more accessible.
