My favorite backpack!

Perfect backpack for a day of hiking, or a few days bivouacking (we added extensions to the fasteners at the bottom of the bag to attach the tent). It is comfortable on the back, even when fully loaded. One of the water bottle pockets on the side has just torn (after 4 years of intensive use). The only problem is the reinforcement at the back which does not allow it to be taken as hand luggage on the plane (it slightly exceeds the format)

Great backpack

Excellent backpack also purchased in the women's version. Practical and roomy, ergonomic with anti-sweat back.

Suggestion for improvement

Hello, I suggest enlarging the hiking pole mounts because two poles won't fit there (especially in the upper part, where the pole handle is attached.) On the other hand, a similar pair of mounts could be made to attach an ice axe for glacier climbing.

Very comfortable

Large load capacity, very useful pockets and practical to use. Fairly rigid back support that gives greater support

A well-thought-out and comfortable backpack

So far it has proven itself, lots of pockets, a place to attach poles, an ice axe. Great access from the side. I recommend it

icon-circle-checkmark verified purchase

It's perfect for a day hike in the suburbs and there are sizes for different heights. The price is reasonable.

my favorite backpack

I have been using it for several years. Very comfortable, top loading but also the possibility of opening the main compartment with a zipper. Comfortable shoulder straps and a belt with additional pockets.

10-year guarantee

We take care over abrasion resistance to make your bag durable.The heavy clothing R&D department, a Quechua partner for the research and validation of its components and assemblies, performs tests (on components, seams and the finished product) simulating the ageing of backpacks. Their results allow us to guarantee the bags tested for 10 years from the purchase date shown on the receipt.

Don't throw it, fix it!

Our products will join you on your mountain walks. As you progress, they age, and some parts can get worn or break.To make repairs easier, in the InchBag accessories / hiking trekkingInch, we sell tightening buckles and chest clips that are compatible with your bag. Don ftt throw away, repair !

What differences are there with the old mh500 bag?

The back of this new bag has been fully reworked for greater comfort: a tight net with frame gives you more space between your back and the bag to reduce the damp back effect. This net used for the back, called mesh, is also softer than previously. What's more, this new model comes in 2 sizes for small and large sizes. The 2 hip pockets are more spacious and stretchy and access to flask on the sides is easier.

Why 2 sizes?

During several field test sessions with hikers of different sizes, we noticed that between 20 and 40 litres, the difference in comfort was mainly linked to the back height of the bag: someone with a small frame feels better with a bag that doesn't have a very big back, and someone with a big frame with a larger back. We therefore offer all our models in 2 sizes to meet these requirements.

Hydration

This bag can hold 1 litre, 2 litre or 3 litre pockets. However, although the pocket is voluminous, it will take up place that could be used for storing other belongings.The side pockets are designed for flasks of maximum 1 litre.

Why are our rain covers orange?

This is a deliberate choice as we believe it's important to stay visible in the mountains, even in fog, in case of any problem. This orange colour has the advantage of being visible from a helicopter. It's also a visible colour on the road if you use your bag when cycling.

Hand luggage

When you are travelling by plane, the authorised hand luggage size is 55x35x25cm3 maximum (warning, this can vary depending on the airline). This bag can be used as hand luggage, so long as you don't load the top too much.

How to pack my backpack?

AT THE BOTTOM of the bag, pack your sleeping material, and heavy material nearer the back. Slide your water pocket into the compartment.AT THE TOP of the bag, store your waterproof jacket and fleece within arm’s reach. In the pockets, you can put your sun cream, maps, cap and sunglasses. Cereal bars or your mobile phone can be stored in the belt pockets for quick access. The straps under the bag can also be used to attach a compact tent.

How do i adjust my backpack?

1 - Loosen all the straps (straps, hip belt, load adjuster straps). 2 - Put the backpack on. 3 - As this bag is small in volume, put the belt around the waist and tighten it. 4 -Tighten the shoulder straps. 5 - Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed.
