How do we rate the bags we test?
Very simply: we have a list of criteria to which we give a score out of 10, and then average them out. We chose these criteria for their objectivity. Nevertheless, there will always be an element of subjectivity, often inexplicable, linked to experience with the product. That's why we also take your feedback into account! So don't hesitate to let us know.
