Capacity

Extendable volume: 60 L + 10 L extension thanks to the bag’s top flap with adjustable height. The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardised method. we use small balls to fill the main compartment as well as each pocket. The balls are then emptied into a graduated container in order to determine the equivalent volume in litres, with a margin of error of just a few %.

Bag construction

The assembly of the different parts of this bag has been proven to withstand high tension levels, especially when it is filled or handled.

Each element has been designed to guarantee the reliability of the construction: thick front zip (10mm), reinforced seams at the base of the skirt and on the straps.

SYMBIUM technology

The Symbium concept reduces the swinging effects which tire the trekker. This concept is based on the optimisation of the structure of the belt, ensuring that the backpack is better balanced when walking.

How to pack a backpack?

Timeless styling

We have selected pigment colours and used clean lines for a timeless style that will be passed down from generation to generation.

Dying process

Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce the environmental impact, we have opted for mass pigmentation (also called Dope Dye), integrating the colour pigments from initial thread manufacture. This process reduces this backpack’s CO2 emissions by 10% compared to the previous model.

Why are our rain covers grey?

The colour of our bag covers is neutral as it uses less dye. In addition, we use a two-tone dyeing process which consists of dyeing only one thread out of two. This dyed yarn is also made from a bulk dyeing process which incorporates the colour pigments from the yarn manufacturing phase onwards. Forclaz is committed to improving the environmental impact of its products through these actions.

Female body shape

Our women’s models are adapted to the female shape (chest and hips). The shoulder straps are more open and the waist fitted higher for greater comfort and freedom of movement.

Complementary accessories

Compatible with 7L half-moon storage bags.
