THE MAKING OF DECATHLON BACKPACKS<br />

AKSHAT JAIN<br />

“We all came together with a<br />

common aim: To build a perfect<br />

trekking backpack...”<br />

maybe you are planning to buy one. The process includes spending hours in the gear<br />

shop, immersing yourself in a sea of available options to find your perfect one. Your<br />

backpack ultimately is the only thing that tags along in every adventure like a silent<br />

friend that has your back always (Literally! :D).<br />

“Have you ever wondered or put yourself in the shoes of engineers who design your<br />

Backpack?<br />

What are their thoughts while they intricately design each feature of the bag for your<br />

safety and comfort? Well, I didn’t give it much thought either, until I got this amazing<br />

opportunity when Decathlon, one of the world’s largest sporting brands selected me<br />

as a part of the team to test their latest line of Backpacks. They invited us to their<br />

International Design Centre in Passy, France to test the prototype of their latest<br />

Backpacks while hiking the beautiful trails of the French Alps.”<br />

world-class mountaineering products.<br />
