Backpacking Transport Bag 120 L

Backpack technical tests.

We conduct laboratory tests to approve the components: fabrics, buckles, straps, foams, zippers, etc. For a fabric, for example: resistance to abrasion, tearing, colorfastness under UV rays, washing, waterproofing, etc. A final test on the finished product simulates the kind of treatment to which it will be subjected over several years, to assess the strength of the assembly: the pack is filled with weights and placed on a dummy that replicates thousands of cycles of a fast walking motion.

How is backpack volume measured?

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: we fill the main compartment as well as each pocket with little balls. Then we empty the balls into a graduated container that gives us the equivalent number of liters.

Environmental measurements

Oxylane, together with Quechua, has decided to inform you of the environmental impact of its hiking backpacks over their entire lifespan. This work follows an experiment that began in July 2011 with the French Ministry of Ecology. The scores ranging from A to E have been awarded by comparing Quechua backpacks only.

Product Testing

We test the bag both in the lab and in the field to ensure its resistance to abrasion, wear, washing, water-resistance and colorfastness under UV rays. Then, the weighted backpack is placed on a mannequin that simulates aging by replicating thousands of fast walking movements, to check the durability of assemblies. The components (fabrics, buckles, straps, foam, zippers, etc.) are also tested separately so that we can guarantee these bags for 10 years.
