School pack made with PFAS-free and 100% recycled polyester, designed for young school kids.

Overview

Just like our children, Bergans is committed to protect and preserve nature and to utilize resources to its fullest. This is why the school pack Aksla 24 Lid is made with PFAS-Free and 100% recycled polyester from plastic bottles, nicely decorated with patterns and characters inspired by nature. This is a pack specially designed for the youngest school kids and feature a soft yet reinforced back that provide optimal support. The shoulder straps and hip belt are also well padded. Inside, the bag has a protective pocket for laptop or other assets that need extra protection. On both sides of the pack you will find spacious pockets perfectly fitted for a bottle, gloves or other secret treasures ... . This is also where you will find the bag’s signal colored rain cover. Thanks to plenty of reflective details, the Aksla 24 Lid is visible from all angles in the dark, providing a safer walk to school. The pack is compatible with Aksla PLUS – a gym bag that can also be used separately. The general recommendation is that the backpack should not be loaded to more than 10-15% of the child's own body weight.

  1. PFAS-free

PFAS-free

All our products marked with the PFAS-free logo use a water repellent treatment that is free of PFAS substances.

PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is a group of more than 10.000 substances also known as fluorocarbons. They build up in nature as they do not degrade. In greater concentrations, they are proven to pose a hazard to both human health and the environment.

PFAS has been common to use for the so-called “Durable Water Repellent” finish (DWR): It means that water bounces off the surface rather than being absorbed by the fabric and making it wet. Using PFAS has been an effective treatment to achieve a durable water repellency for waterproof fabrics, but also other applications like ski waxes or food packaging.

Since these chemicals have shown to be harmful for both people and the environment, Bergans is working to phase out all fabrics containing PFAS finish and replace with more environmentally friendly, PFAS-free treatments. All the membranes we use are already free for PFAS. You can read more on PFAS and how we work to eliminate these.

A significant part of the challenge of using alternatives to PFAS lies in the lower durability of these water repellent solutions. That means that using a waterproof garment with a PFAS-free finishing requires you to re-impregnate these more often than before, to achieve a good water-repellent functionality also over time and after many washes. Anyhow, please always consider where and when it’s necessary to reduce environmental impact.
