Hiking backpack 23L - NH Escape 500

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).

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 23L.
We also measured the volume with the 2 exterior side water bottle pockets, whereby its total capacity increases to 25L.

To take full advantage of a hike, we devote particular attention to designing comfortable products.
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.
Back: 5 pads, composed of 2 types of 15mm-thick foam (PE - PU).Shoulder straps: composed of 2 different foams (EVA - PU) 8 to 13mm thick
The chest strap has cushioning, & its height and width is adjustable.

This bag can be used as carry-on luggage when travelling 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.

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.
