Dimensions

Bag dimensions when in use: Height : 62 cm / 24 in Width: 32 cm / 8.5 in Depth: 24 cm / 9 in

Capacity

50 L volume. The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardised method. we use small balls to fill the main compartment as well as each pocket. The balls are then emptied into a graduated container in order to determine the equivalent volume in litres, with a margin of error of just a few %.

How do I fill my bag for optimal comfort?

Put your bedding at the bottom. Put heavy gear (tent, camp stove, food) near your back. Store your clothing around it. A groundsheet or tent can be placed under the flap or under the bag if there isn't room inside. Keep your waterproof jacket and fleece to hand. Place small items for daily use (sun cream, map, glasses etc.) in the pockets. The water bladder can be placed in the compartment provided down the back.

Recommended carry weight

According to the project for which this backpack was designed, we recommend you don’t load it above 15 kg. Then you can benefit from all its features. Moreover, it’s not recommended to carry a load greater than 20-25% of your own weight and put too much pressure on your back.

How do I adjust my backpack?

Loosen all the straps (shoulder straps, belt, load adjuster straps). First, adjust the height of the backpack. Put the backpack on. PLACE THE BELT ON YOUR HIPS (it should cover your pelvic bones) and TIGHTEN. Tighten the shoulder straps. Tighten the chest strap. Adjust the load adjuster straps to bring the weight of the bag close to you. The straps should cover the shoulders without pushing hard. If needed, adjust the back to make it shorter or longer.

Protect your bag from the rain

It's important that you are well equipped for your trek to take place in the best conditions. We recommend using a rain cover, available separately. View our storage accessories, repair loops and hanging straps. check out our accessories

We dye the yarn with coloured granules to avoid using dye baths

Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce the environmental impact, we have opted for mass pigmentation (also called Dope Dye), integrating the colour pigments from initial thread manufacture.

A simple and functional bag with its pockets and front access, practical for occasional outings when you need 50 L worth of space.
