Accessories

These pants have water-repellent inserts (bottom of the legs at the front, seat) that make water run off the surface of the fabric. This product is water-repellent, not waterproof.
These water-repellent pants won’t get wet too fast, but they don’t keep you dry under steady rain. To do this, you will need a pair of over-pants like the MT 500 model (ref. 8493660)
The water-repellent properties can be restored by warming the pants in a tumble dryer at low heat for 10 minutes.

Water-repellent properties

The regular cut and use of stretch fabric in the right areas guarantee high comfort when moving around.

Our products’ environmental impact

Stretch fabric (2% spandex) and loose fit

4 pockets | 1 thigh pocket (hook-and-loop tab) | 2 hand pockets | 1 rear pocket

Easy transport

Main component contains 79% organic cotton.

Softness

Regular fit | Available from size S to 3XL

Belt with wide loops | Press stud fastening

User comfort

The main fabric contains small quantities of polyester to wick away moisture

Designed for occasional hikes on easy trails.

Duration

The pant material makes them pleasant to wear between seasons or in summer, as it is not too hot.

Three-season pants

The pant material contains spandex. If you are between two sizes, choose the smallest of the two. After washing, the pants may seem a little tight. However, they will loosen after use (like a pair of jeans with spandex).

Our advice for choosing your size

The fabric of these pants contains 79% organic cotton.
We began using organic cotton in 2006, a market that currently represents just 0.4% of worldwide cotton production. The cotton is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It protects biodiversity, soil fertility and reduces the risk of groundwater pollution. This is still not enough and that’s why we are working to make this product eco-designed.

Our environmental approach

Thanks to all your feedback, we have improved the concept and design of the NH 100 pants. The stretch component of this new model increases your freedom of movement. We also improved comfort (softness of cotton, width of the waistband) and drying speed (synthetic component). Finally, we also took into account your feedback on the depth of the pockets and the cut of the pants.

Your opinion is important to us!

   ).

We use a standardized method to measure the volume of each backpack: the main compartment and all the pockets are filled with small balls. The balls are then emptied into a graduated container to determine the equivalent volume in litres.

How is volume measured?

1 - Loosen all the straps (straps, belt, and load adjuster straps).
2 - Put the backpack on.
3 - Tighten the shoulder straps.
4 - Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed.

How to adjust your backpack

Place heavy items at the bottom. Pack clothing around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece in an easy-to-access location. Place small, frequently used items in the pockets (sunscreen, map, glasses, etc.). 

How to pack your backpack

These components were validated through laboratory tests: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, and zippers. For example, we test the fabric’s resistance to abrasion and tearing, colourfastness when subjected to UV light and washing, and waterproofing. We also use a dummy to reproduce several years’ hiking movement to check for resistance to wear and tear.

Tested for optimum durability and strength

We improved the design of the NH 100 10-L Backpack based on customer feedback.
This new version has a double zipper on the main compartment and a larger outside pocket. These features help keep your belongings safely inside when you open your bag. 
Same fair price as ever!
