FAQ

DONNY has been designed to eliminate the static weight of the backpack on our body, which weighs on our joints for days and days of walking, increasing the risk of inflammation, joint pain, mainly knees and ankles, and back pain.

It was also designed to allow us to carry a few extra items, such as a tent, a mattress, or a spare item of clothing, which we often had to give up due to too much weight.

DONNY is equipped with an L-shaped structure, where the backpack resides, which unloads its weight on the wheels. This structure is connected by adjustable arms to a waistband that allows DONNY to follow all our movements.

DONNY has been designed for long walks where we need to carry a heavy backpack with our essential goods for many days. DONNY can tackle all types of tracks, roads, dirt paths, mule tracks, both downhill and uphill.

DONNY is not recommended for mountaineering trails with a considerable difference in height and technical difficulties that do not have a uniform route.

DONNY was built with ultra-resistant and light material, with large diameter wheels, so it can easily overcome even disconnected sections simply by helping it with your hands on the supporting arms.

In the case of stairways or stretches that are too steep and bumpy, DONNY can be worn as a normal trekking backpack allowing us to overcome any difficult stretch of the path.

When you arrive at the hostel, refuge or hotel, the rotating arms allow you to use DONNY as a normal trolley to be placed in our room or next to our bed like a normal suitcase.

DONNY was built with composite material, tubular glass fiber or carbon fiber and this allows for a very resistant and very light structure, among the lightest on the market. In the fiberglass version it is only 4.5 kg including wheels. In the carbon version it is reduced to just 4.0 kg.

DONNY has been designed to carry a trekking backpack, with a variable volume from 40 to 80 liters, therefore an indicative weight from 10 to 20 kg, It can easily withstand higher loads, but it is still a structure that must act as an aid in walking , therefore carrying too much load is never advisable as there will be times in which it will be necessary to lift the whole structure and its load, such as to climb the stairs of a HOTEL.

The answer to this question is: it depends.
In fact it depends on the type of track, in our experience it is certainly more on flat stretches
fast, but in very disconnected sections or with steep slopes, it is necessary to adapt
one's gait in order to avoid jolts and jerks that would not affect ourselves,
being physically connected to the trolley via the belt. In such cases, for greater comfort, it is
it is necessary to place your hands on the supporting arms and, if necessary, slow down in the roughest points.

To answer this question, a premise is necessary: ​​Donny was studied for
relieve our body from the static load of the backpack. Therefore, in the strokes predominantly
flat, the answer is definitely yes: with Donny it's less tiring and you arrive more rested.
It is necessary to tow on sections of the route with a steep slope, whether uphill or downhill
or braking a wheeled load and therefore an adequate physical effort must be applied.
