Product Customer Reviews

The product is very good, I am very satisfied with the quality. I use it as luggage on short trips or as hand luggage on the plane. I could leave for 5 days with only what I packed in this backpack without missing anything.
Backpack with numerous pockets, it is very well compartmentalized with a dedicated space for the PC... Perfect for going to work or on a leisure getaway, it is versatile!
Lots of separation, easy to carry
Great product. Practical. The carrying handle, excellent idea
I bought the backpack because of the many compartments and the ability to easily access everything. Two business trips with MacBook, iPad, chargers, headphones, book(s), light jacket, drinks and even a small umbrella show that this is an extremely practical backpack and meets my requirements. Because of its size, I am not easily tempted to put too much in the bag. The only downside is the shoulder straps. They are very comfortable, but it is difficult to secure them properly. A button or something similar is not an option because it must remain variable (depending on the clothing). Now the backpack always pulls down. I can do this better.
It is well compartmentalized.
Comfortable
I was positively surprised. Very practical and takes a lot of things
Good product
Excellent backpack. I use it for work and leisure.
Good product
An extremely high quality product. I can say that it is the best product available for this price. I use it with pleasure. It is a very useful product with many eyes. I would say it is a Price Performance product, but I think it is an understatement. It is a very, very high quality product for its price.
To highlight.....good finish, with several compartments ideal for organizing and its design. Perfect as hand luggage.
Bought as small cabin baggage for Ryanair, the size which allows you not to pay extra! It's perfect, you can really put as many things as possible in it. Now I use it all the time...
Super backpack, many pockets and compartments, large zippers that release something

Our commitment to consume less water with this product
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 method of bulk dyeing, by integrating the colour pigments from the manufacture of the yarn (references: 8649342, 8649339, 8649346).
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.The capacity of the main volume of this bag is 23 L. We also measured the volume with the 2 exterior side water bottle pockets, its total capacity increasing to 25 L.
Your comfort above all
To fully enjoy your hikes, we put comfort at the heart of product design.The back, shoulder straps & handle are comfortable because of their thickness and construction composed of different types of foam padding covered with a 3D mesh to improve ventilation & drying.The chest strap has cushioning, & its height and width is adjustable.- Back: 5 pads made up of 2 foams (PE - PU) 15 mm thick,- Straps made up of 2 foams (EVA - PU) 8 -13 mm thick.
14 pockets and 3 compartments to keep you organised
- 3 compartments and numerous pockets (14), to separate and organise all your belongings,- 1 compartment with secure zip, including 2 pockets for a 15” PC and 13” tablet, raised to avoid knocks,- 6 zipped pockets, 1 hidden zipped pocket, 1 x 6.8” phone pocket (left strap),- 2 expandable, covering water bottle holders,- 1 organiser and 1 key ring,- 1 passage for cable and 1 pocket for battery,- 1 lamp holder,- 1 strap to connect to a suitcase.
Waterproofing
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.
Outer dimensions
Height : 46 cm | Width: 28 cm | Thickness: 22cm. This bag can be used as cabin luggage when travelling by plane, as its dimensions meet 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 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.
How to adjust your backpack?
- Loosen all the straps, shoulder straps and chest strap,- Put on the bag,- Buckle the chest strap, adjust it in height and width,- Tighten the shoulder straps (from top to bottom),- Adjust to your liking.It’s adjusted!
