How waterproof is my mh100 backpack?

Our backpacks use water-repellent but not waterproof components. Indeed, designing a 100% waterproof bag requires the sealing of every seam line as well as the use of specific and very expensive zips. You can fit your bag with a rain cover which will provide better protection.

Repair your mh100 backpack

Below you will find all the spare parts and accessories so you can carry out various repairs on your backpack.

REPAIR A HOLE OR TEAR IN YOUR HIKING BACKPACK

If a small hole has formed on the front or bottom of your bag, you can easily repair it by applying a patch or a piece of adhesive tape (rounded shape one or two cm larger than the hole). We advise you to apply it on the inside as well as the outside.
If the hole is bigger, go to a cobbler and take advantage of his expertise to give your backpack a second life.
