How is the volume measured?
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardised 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.
How do you adjust your rucksack?
1 - Loosen all straps (shoulder straps, belt, load adjuster straps)
2 - Put the bag on
3 - Tighten the shoulder straps
4 - Adjust the load adjuster straps to suit you
How do you pack your rucksack?
Place your heavier items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece close to hand. Place small items for daily use (sun cream, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets. The water bag will be placed in the compartment provided along the back and the water bottle in the external water pockets provided for this purpose.
Laboratory tested
We conduct lab tests to validate the following components of the bag: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zips. For example, for a fabric, we test its resistance to abrasion and tearing, colour-fastness with UV rays and washing and its water-resistance. We also carry out tests to check the resistance of assemblies by carrying out accelerated reproductions of the wear and tear on a bag over the years on a mannequin that reproduces the movement of a hiker.
A score for comparing the products' environmental impact
The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifespan, using various indicators. A score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, trousers, rucksacks, etc.). Decathlon is committed to visually displaying environmental information.
