OUR LABORATORY TESTS
Laboratory tests are run to validate the components: fabrics, buckles, straps, foam, zippers…
Example for a fabric: resistance to abrasion, tearing, water…
Example for a fabric: resistance to abrasion, tearing, water…
A test on a finished product then recreates in accelerated mode the backpack solicitation over the years in order to control assembly resistance. We fill the backpack with weights on a model that recreates movement of brisk walking, for thousands of cycles.
OUR REAL-CONDITION TESTS IN THE MOUNTAINS
The design team works with hikers not associated with Quechua to test, push forward and validate the backpacks.

Resistance
TO RUBBING FOR DURABLE USE FOR YEARS.10 YEAR WARRANTY, TECHNICAL PARTNERSHIP
The heavy stitching research and development department —partner of Quechua for the research and validation of components and assembling —conducted tests simulating backpack ageing. These tests were for the component, the stitches and the finished product. Their results allow Quechua to guaranty tested backpacks for 10 years starting at the buying date written on the receipt.
Matthieu
Product engineer
As an engineer I guaranty the link between the conception and the production.
In upstream I receive the brief of the product chief stating the functionalities and requirement of the future backpack. Depending of the state of conception I work with the product chief, the designer, the model maker, the production director and the partner of the production factory.
In order to guaranty the resistance of backpacks we are doing tests first on the components.
Associated with the production standard I obtained the final resistance of the product.
Then, I do laboratory tests on the finished products simulating the repeated movement during hick and then in the mountains.
LIGHTWEIGHT
EACH COMPONENT IS DESIGNED TO OPTIMISE WEIGHT IN OUR BACKPACKSWEIGHT DETAILS
Hikers have to carry all of their equipment during physical effort. That’s why we design our products so that they are lighter and lighter and ensure greater freedom of movement.
