The Quechua design team tests every product rigorously - both in the lab and out in the French mountains.
The 10-year test
To test it for 10 years of use, this backpack is attached to a hiking dummy which simulates thousands of steps. This enables us to check the effects of movement and physical abrasion - and to certify every backpack with a 10-year guarantee.
Strength testing
Additional lab tests ensure that the backpack can withstand repeated washing, UV exposure and tearing. We check all of the components, including fabric, straps, buckles and zips.
Field testing
After lab tests, the bag is tested in the field by real hikers, including our product teams as well as customers and ambassadors.
