Our backpacks are designed for a maximum comfort and an optimal maintaining for sports. A performance backpack can lose 50% of its functionalities if it is not settled properly. Premature degradation may also happen with a bad (or without) adjustment.
See the basic operations below …
Settings during your purchase
These settings are done before the first use according to your body, wearing the bag. The set points are easily accessible and can be adjusted for use. We need the bag secure and tight to avoid friction, while maintaining the comfort and freedom of movement.
Length of straps, with the two adjustment buckles;
Length of the belt with buckle;
Height of the chest strap: the chest strap disassembles easily and can be raised to the desired height with wide straps;
Height of chest strap with buckle adjustment (with a whistle).
Reminders of charge (only with bags in excess above the shoulders – Adventure bag at Raidlight’s), with the two adjustment buckles.
Optimal compression with each use
Each use requires to adjust the back of the bag to properly compact the load and avoid mix imbalance, skin friction, wear of the material. For a better setting, do the compression of the bag laying on the floor, back flat against the ground.
When you are filling the bag, put the heaviest loads against the back, in order to reduce the risk of sloshing. The acute or cutting forms should not be in contact with outside tissues. We understand usury after 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 strides ...
The closure of all loops and all zips are essential. They complement each other and ensure the rigidity of the whole.
It is preferable that the zip pull be positioned on the side of the bag. If the zip pull is on the top of the bag, there is a risk of shaking sliding dashes on both sides, and any accidental opening the bag!
The cords compression should be done by putting the flat bag on the floor, and setting as from top to bottom (as shoes laces).
