Product Customer Reviews

Full of features and functionalities, this (seemingly) durable bag is fantastic. Very comfortable, lots of compartments, easy to pull zippers, neat design... [+] Laptop pocket can actually hold my 14'' gaming laptop [+] Roomy main compartment [+] Lots of organisation [+] Hidden pocket [+] Super elastic side water bottle pockets [+] Reinforced bottom so wont be damaged or get dirty when put on the floor [+] Super comfy back panel and handle [+] Solid loop to hook the bag [-] Laptop pocket is just an open pocket, no extra security or anything to keep it in place. [-] Only the main compartment zipper has the security loop to pass-through the zipper pull tabs - they should've added those to the main pocket zipper as well. [-] The USB cable pass through hole is too small for many USB-A type connectors

Our commitment to consume less water
We have improved this product with an eco-design approach. Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. We dye every other thread to reduce water consumption and water pollution. To reduce our impact on the environment, we choose the bulk dyeing method, by integrating the color pigments from the manufacture of the yarn (dark gray color, reference: 8649496).
Your comfort above all
To take full advantage of a hike, we devote particular attention to designing comfortable products. The back, shoulder straps, and handle are comfortable because of their thickness and construction composed of different types of foam padding covered with a 3D mesh to improve ventilation and drying. Back: 5 pads, composed of 2 types of 0.6"-thick foam (PE - PU). Shoulder straps: composed of 2 different foams (EVA - PU) 0.3" to 0.5" thick. The chest strap has cushioning, and its height and width are adjustable.
12 pockets and functions to get you organized
2 compartments and numerous pockets (12), to separate and organize all your belongings. 1 main compartment, with secure zipper, including 2 pockets for 13” laptop and 10” tablet, raised to avoid impacts. 4 zipped pockets, 1 hidden zipped pocket, 1 6.8” phone pocket (left shoulder strap). 2 expandable and cover-all bottle holders. 1 organizer and 1 key ring. 1 cable hole and 1 pocket for a battery. 1 flashlight holder 1 strap to connect to a suitcase
Seal
The materials 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 35 L rain cover", which can be viewed on our website, item reference 8303438.
Outer dimensions
Height: 15.7" | Width: 11" | Thickness: 7.9" This bag can be used as carry-on luggage when traveling by plane as its dimensions meet the airline requirements (IATA). We recommend that you contact your airline for details of the size and weight restrictions on cabin baggage.
Tested for optimum durability and strength
To guarantee the durability of the bag, laboratory tests are conducted on the materials and assemblies to replicate the aging of the backpack. For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, the colorfastness 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.
How to adjust your backpack
1 - Loosen all straps, shoulder straps, and chest belt 2 - Put on the bag 3 - Buckle the chest belt, adjust its height and width 4 - Tighten the shoulder straps (from top to bottom) 5 - Adjust to fit You’re all set!
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 liters.
How to fill your backpack
Place the heavy items, e.g. laptop, picnic lunch, etc., in the bottom and in the spaces provided. Pack your clothes around these items. Put the small belongings that you will use during the day (sunblock, map, sunglasses, etc.) in the pockets. Put the water bottle(s) in the outer pockets on the sides that are made for this purpose.

Imported
Product testing
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.
