Personally, I feel that the space is not very good. The long and narrow shape makes it inconvenient to hold things. The space inside is not as large as it looks on the outside. As a result, thick things have to be crammed in.
seems big but ultimately not big enough. it is quite narrow and for the little it is tucked in, it is quite heavy for classic and light hiking gear
I bought this bag in September for a hike with accommodation and logistical support. I wanted to place my rain gear, my water bag (2 L), my papers, glasses and a slightly warm jacket there. The bag is extremely spacious. The side opening allows you to access things without having to take everything out. The location for the water bag is perfect. It is very comfortable to wear. I measure 1.69 but I felt more comfortable with the L model and not the S. The only problem is the position of the pockets for the water bottles. I had my water bag, so I put my cup in it, which held very well, and my "pee-stand" on the other side. I wasn't completely confident in the effectiveness of maintaining these pockets. I haven't lost anything, but it's better to put water bottles and nothing else. The pocket on the waist belt is very practical for papers and glasses cases. The fluorescent yellow overbag is perfect for safety when walking along the road and protects perfectly from the rain.
Easy storage, comfortable transport
A 20 L which has everything of a large one (comfort, ventilation, accessories, etc.)
Openings at the top, a little tight, but can compensate with openings on the side
Ideal for a day hike, I find the carrying comfort very comfortable, with a weight of 8 kg, no problems. Very wide waist belt with two practical pockets for a phone or something to snack on, load reminder on the straps. Apart from the volume it has everything of a great one; pole attachments, rain cover, exterior mesh pockets, etc.
Make 40L PLEASE!!!!!
flush
The size is just right. Walking comfortably is not heavy.
Unfortunately I found a defect that forced me to return the product: Contrary to what you can see in the photos, the chest closure is missing on the backpack, which for me is essential to have the shoulder straps securely in place. for the rest the backpack seems well made and I liked the distribution of space. If the same backpack came with a chest strap I think I would buy it again.
Well designed bag, rather effective back ventilation, lots of small equipment and straps which allow you to hang things on the bag (poles, etc.) and adjust it perfectly.
The backpack is small and elegant, suitable for the countryside
Very good comfortable and light bag
ideal size for smaller hiking tours

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 ”Bag accessories / hiking trekking”, we sell tightening buckles and chest clips that are compatible with your bag. Don't 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.
Which size should i choose?
During several field test sessions with hikers of different sizes, we noticed that between 20 and 40 litres, the difference in comfort was mainly down to the back height of the bag. We therefore offer all our models in 2 sizes to meet these requirements. If you are taller than 170 cm, go for size L. If you are shorter than 170 cm, you will be better off with a size S.
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 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.
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.
