The components of the bag are water-repellent so that you can temporarily continue walking/hiking in light rain.Caution: this backpack is not watertight/waterproof and it does not have a rain cover.If you want to continue walking/hiking in the rain and protect your belongings, we recommend the following model: “20 to 40 L rain cover”, which can be viewed on our website, item reference 8734213.

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standard method: we fill the main compartment, as well as each pocket, with little balls. Then we empty these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in litres.The capacity of the main volume of this bag is 32L.We also measured the volume with the 2 exterior side water bottle pockets, whereby its total capacity increases to 35L.

To guarantee the durability of the bag, laboratory tests are conducted on the components and assemblies to replicate the ageing of the backpack.For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, the colour fastness when exposed to UV light and washing, and the waterproofing.We use these tests to guarantee the bags for a period of 10 years from the date of purchase on the receipt.
