Quechua Ultra-light Fast Hiking Backpack 14+5L

This backpack has been designed to best suit intense hiking, thanks to its ultra-lightweight fabric and adaptable capacity from 14 to 19 litres.Its gilet-style shape offers you optimal support and adjustment. The backpack is ultra-lightweight and flexible, and it also has a water bladder and safety whistle included.

Backpack technical tests

We complete laboratory tests to certify components: fabrics, buckles, straps, foam, zips… for example, for a fabric: resistance to abrasion & tearing, colour-fastness in UV light, resistance to washing, waterproofing, etc. A test is then conducted on the product replicating the accelerated demands on the backpack over a number of years to check the strength of the assembly: the backpack is weighted, then placed on a dummy which reproduces the movement of fast walking over thousands of cycles.

How is bag volume measured?

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.

How to adjust your backpack?

1 – Loosen all the straps (straps, hip belt, load adjuster straps). 2 – Put the backpack on.
3 – As this bag is small in volume, put the belt around the waist and tighten it. 4 -Tighten the shoulder straps.
5 – Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH

Because we are aware that we must act to preserve our playground, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products.
Today, this product is not eco-designed, but we work every day to make it more responsible: eco-design, repairability and sustainability are at the heart of our developments.

Product design: our expertise

Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
A great asset for designing your mountain walking products and providing you with all our expertise.

HOW TO CARE FOR AND WASH A RUCKSACK?

We recommend hand-washing your rucksack. Use soapy, lukewarm water, possibly with a brush, focusing on the areas in contact with the body (shoulder straps, back, waist belt), where you have perspired.
This is the best way for the fabric properties to be maintained, in particular the waterproofness.
Then rinse well with lukewarm water, dry in a dry place away from direct sunlight (no radiator). Store in a dry place.
