Hiking backpack 16L - NH Escape 100

We improved this product using an eco-design approach to the dyeing of the materials with the so-called "dope dyeing" process. Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce our environmental impact, we use a bulk dyeing process that involves adding the colour pigments as soon as the yarn itself is produced.

In the bigger compartment, put your heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece within arm’s reach. In the small compartment, place your everyday items, electronic devices, card, sun cream, glasses, etc. Put your flask in the side pocket.

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.

We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag's components: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zips. For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, colour fastness when exposed to UV light and washing, and waterproofing. We also conduct tests to check the resistance of assembly using a dummy that reproduces the movements of a hiker to replicate several years of wear and tear on the bag.

Thanks to your feedback, we have improved the design and concept of the NH URBAN 100 17 litre backpack. This bag has been tested by many hikers and has enabled us to test its functions and make some improvements. On this new model, we have added a double zip on the main pocket, a side pocket as well as a reinforced base to support you in the countryside or any environment.
