They are made of different types of foam padding covered with a 3D mesh to improve ventilation and drying.Back: 5 pads made from 2 types of foam (PE/PU), 15 mm (0.6”) thick. Shoulder straps: made from 2 types of foam (EVA/PU), 8 mm to 13 mm (0.3” to 0.5”) thick The cushioned chest strap is fully adjustable.

Waterproofing

The backpack’s water-repellent components allow you to continue walking or hiking in light rain for short periods. Note: This backpack is not watertight or waterproof and does not come with a rain cover. To keep your belongings dry on longer walks or hikes, we recommend the following product: 10- to 20-L Hiking Backpack Rain Cover, which can be viewed on our website using product number 8772113.

How is volume measured?

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: the main compartment and all the pockets are filled with little balls. These balls are then emptied into a graduated container to get the equivalent volume in litres. The capacity of the main volume of this bag is 16 L (3.6 gal). We also measured the volume with the 2 side water bottle pockets, which increase the total capacity to 17 L (3.7 gal).

Tested for optimal durability

Laboratory tests are conducted on the components and assemblies to ensure the backpack withstands use over time. For example, tests are performed on the fabric’s resistance to abrasion and tearing, and waterproofing. We use these tests to guarantee the bags for 10 years from the date of purchase.
