Dyeing textiles requires a lot of water and discharges wastewater into the environment. To reduce this impact, we use the following 2 dyeing processes: 1. We don't color the interior fabric. 2. We use bulk dyeing, integrating the color pigments as soon as the yarn is manufactured, for the outer fabric in black, navy blue, and blue/turquoise, references: 8529024, 8583151, and 8731516.

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 liters.

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

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 (sunblock, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets. The water bladder will be placed in the compartment provided along the back, and the water bottle in the outer water bottle holder pockets provided for this purpose.

We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag's components: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zippers. For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, colorfastness 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.

Based on all your feedback, we have improved the design of our NH100 20-liter backpack. In this new model, we have improved the main zipper to make it easier to open. We have also added a compartment and a zipped pocket in the main pocket.

The environmental impacts of the product are calculated over its entire lifecycle using different indicators. A score from A to E is provided in order to easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks). Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental information of its products. Web: sustainability.decathlon.com Explanatory video: https://youtu.be/8t63KkRwn_8

Imported

It’s in France, at the foot of Mont Blanc, that our design team conceives, designs, and creates Quechua products. We test them in the field with other hikers to make sure that they are comfortable and durable. This backpack has been tested and improved by hikers in different climatic conditions and different environments.

Store your backpack in a dry place.
