Quechua backpack: 10-year warranty.

This backpack has a large compartment for your essentials, two zippered pockets, one with an inner pocket for your valuables. A stretchy mesh pocket on the side also fits your water bottle or umbrella.

What is its storage capacity?

By developing your product, we have enhanced the comfort with adjustable straps and vertical foam pads on the back. The ventilated fabric on the back and straps provides better ventilation. As a bonus: thumb loops.

How comfortable is this backpack?

This backpack is water-repellent. In light rain, water will roll off without penetrating it. However, it is not completely waterproof. If the rain goes on too long or is too heavy, water will seep through. For extra protection, choose our 10–20 L rain cover (ref. 8772113).

Bottom Shape

A comfortable workout means total freedom of movement. That's why these fitness brief’s have elastane to add stretch to the fabric. The result: the briefs move with you while staying in place. 
We also played with the cut. This model is a cross between a bikini at the front to maintain freedom of movement around the groin, and shorts at the back for better coverage and shaping.

How do these seamless briefs encourage freedom of movement?

Whether you're running or doing any other sport, your goal is the same: giving it your best! And that often involves sweating. Let's admit, sweaty underwear is not the most pleasant feeling. 
For your comfort, we've designed breathable briefs. The ventilation of the fabric is optimized in the areas where you sweat the most, such as the lower back. We've also chosen a synthetic material that promotes perspiration wicking.

How do our breathable, seamless briefs help keep us dry during exercise?

These briefs are designed from a single piece of fabric. The seamless technology limits chafing and irritation from uncomfortable seams. The minimal seams also make these fitness briefs thinner, making them more discreet under clothing.

What is the benefit of seamless technology for these briefs?

Designed for intensive sports use, these briefs can be washed and re-washed. We recommend washing at maximum 30°C in our laundry bag, sold separately (ref. 8505236).
Use liquid detergent, rather than powder, and avoid fabric softeners. They could damage the breathability of the fabric. 
Do not tumble dry.

Ventilation

Thanks to your feedback, we improved the design of the 10 litre Arpenaz NH 50 Hiking Backpack.
We added a double zipper on the main compartment and a larger pocket bottom on the outside pocket. The aim is to not lose your belongings when opening your bag. 
And of course, the price hasn’t increased!

Your opinion is important to us!

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.

How is volume measured?

Put heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes 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

Quechua backpack: 10-year warranty

The following components were validated in the lab: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, and zippers. For example, we test the fabric’s resistance to abrasion and tearing, colourfastness, and waterproofing. We also check the resistance of the construction using a dummy that reproduces a hiker’s movements to replicate several years of wear and tear.

Tested for optimal durability

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

The 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 L to 20 L Hiking Backpack Rain Cover (reference 8772113), which can be found on our website.

Schmerber

To maintain water repellency, we recommend regular reactivation.  
Reactivate water repellency after three washes (remember to rinse thoroughly) or after using a dozen times in the rain. 
You can easily reactivate water repellency by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) - with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm (8”), twice
- with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

Long-lasting performance 

The waterproofing of a fabric is measured in Schmerbers or mm of water (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. 
This jacket is designed with a waterproof coating: this component resists 5,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing (equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 5,000 mm column of water).

Component waterproofing

The fabric of this jacket is breathable: RET = 12.Component breathability is measured using thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
RET refers to a fabric’s capacity to let perspiration evaporate. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

Fabric breathability

This rain jacket has been designed for a two-hour hike at a pace of up to 5 km/h (3 mph), without elevation gain.
How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your physical activity.If the fabric is not breathable enough for your activity, perspiration will condense inside the jacket.This makes you feel damp.This dampness is not rain soaking through the shell, but condensation caused by perspiration.You need to choose a rain jacket according to your type of physical activity.

Choose your waterproof jacket according to the intensity of your activity. 

Wear the NH 500 Raincut Rain Pants to protect your lower body, too. Then you’ll have complete, effective protection against wind and rain.

This hiking backpack is water-repellent, but not waterproof. A light rain runs off. If it rains for longer, there’s the risk of water seeping through. To protect your belongings, opt for our 20-40 L rain cover.

Maintenance is the key to longevity! Wash with warm soapy water and brush the sweat zones gently. Rinse generously, then let it take a nap in the shade, away from UV rays and greedy radiators. Its water-repellency will thank you! Between two excursions, store in a dry place.
