MAKING DYES MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY

Our teams work on finding innovative processes that reduce the use or pollution of water during manufacturing. The "dope dyeing" technique (bulk-dyeing) saves up to 60% water and significantly reduces CO2 emissions. This also reduces colour fading over time. In 2019, we started using this process on the black, navy, red/grey, denim, green/blue versions (efforts to master this technique on other colours are still continuing).

HOW IS VOLUME MEASURED?

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.

HOW TO ADJUST YOUR BACKPACK?

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

HOW TO FILL YOUR BACKPACK?

Put your heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece within arm’s reach. Place small items for daily use (sun cream, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets.

LABORATORY TESTED: We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag's components: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zips. For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, colour fastness when exposed to UV light and washing, and waterproofing. We also conduct tests to check the resistance of assembly using a dummy that reproduces the movements of a hiker to replicate several years of wear and tear on the bag.
