Good morning,
With a view to developing our future ultra-light trekking backpack, Forclaz needs you.
Required profile :
We are looking for 6 men and 6 women with an "Ultra-light" / "Minimalist" profile in trekking.
Program :
In order to properly test this new backpack we suggest you come hiking for 2 days in the Mont Blanc valley (Haute Savoie).
The test will consist of trying 3 different backpacks (loaded at 9/10kg) while hiking in the mountains.
We will sleep one night at the Miage refuge (Saint Gervais Mont Blanc)
You have the possibility to choose between two test sessions, the program of which is as follows:
Session 1
Meet Monday at 2 p.m. in Saint Gervais, departure for 4 hours of hiking (approximately 1000m of elevation gain), night and meal at the Miage refuge. The next day we will leave for a 3-hour hike to return to the parking lot in Saint Gervais and debrief the test. You will be "released" at 1 p.m. on Tuesday
