Carrying comfort
Capacity of the backpack to transport by limiting any bothersome sensations.
Carry your dreams even higher
Capacity of the backpack to transport by limiting any bothersome sensations.
All our backpacks are designed to be comfortable in use. You will find, depending on the model: thumb rests, ventral and pectoral support belts, smooth dorsal contact zones , load adjusters.
Capacity
Capacity: 20L / Weight: 1100g/ Dimensions: Height:56cm; Width: 28cm; Depth: 21cm
Carrying comfort
Thumb rests. Load adjusters. Ventral and pectoral support belt.
Ventilation
Ventilated back ( Air cooling label), adjustable straps and a ventilated belt.
Waterproof
A protective cover incorporated into the backpack!
Compartments
Pockets: 2 outside pockets, 1 inside pocket, 2 lateral net pockets, 2 belt pockets.
Friction resistance
10-years warranty.
Laboratory tests are run to validate the components: fabrics, buckles, straps, foam, zippers…
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.
The design team works with hikers not associated with Quechua to test, push forward and validate the backpacks.
Ease the air circulation to control heat and humidity
This label shows that the backpack offers a ventilated back that allows the sweat to evacuate quicker.
To rubbing for durable use for years.
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.
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.
Each component is designed to optimize weight in our backpacks
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.
