Product Customer Reviews

Wonderful, extremely comfortable daypack (and more). Its hard to find a good daypack this size that has similar design and features to a more traditional overnight pack ( (hood, well padded straps and hip belt) as most are more designed like a school bag with a zipper, etc. I don't even need anything more than 20L for a daypack so this fits the bill. With extreme pack discipline and quality gear this could even be used for 1-3 nights camping in warmer weather, and for a n indefinitely long trip on something like the Camino where there's no camping involved and frequent places to eat/ resupply. I can't recommend this pack enough, especially for the price!!! Lots of cool features, pockets, I hope that Decathlon keeps this pack around for a while as its definitely a winner in my book and I would probably get another if this one ever wears out.
got this pack for Christmas and have put about 100km on it in the last few weeks. From Provincial trails to Back woods orienteering. This pack has been comfortable and sturdy. the added rain cover has been super handy as here on the East Coast of Canada we can have all 4 sessions in a matter of hours.
Love it used it last week on a 6.6km walk & very comfortable to wear & lots of room for everything
I purchased on recommendations that the MH500 had good reviews and my general faith in Decathlon goods. Arrived well, nice looking bag. Unsure on how long the plastic clips will last, but they seem to be the going standard. Has an odd system for opening the sack...why not just us a typical type of toggle? One of the zips on the interior has been installed backwards also, meaning I can't really get into that pocket. I'm sure the bag will last, so it's not worth the hassle of a return, but I do wish I had spent a bit extra for a 20l bag.
excellent quality rucksack with extra features that you usually only find on rucksacks double the price. Highly recommend
This is an excellent sac, it sits comfortably off your back and has great features of a much more expensive sac. I love the hip pockets and the side zip options. Practical and useful. I bought one in France and now have one in the UK
Batoh je pohodný na nošení, díky "nahnutým" kapsám na láhev ho nemusím sundat ze zad. Má hodně kapes i na drobnosti. Malá nevýhoda je, že se pláštěnka nedá odepnout a to ztěžuje sušení.
Bezva parťák, třeba i na Sněžku! Odvětrávání fajn, síťovina užitečná, kapsy dostačující. Poměr cena/výkon parádní
Dlouho jsem hledal batoh, který má odvětrané záda, širší popruh okolo pasu, není moc velký a je červený. Červený kvůli zimě - na sněhu a lyžích je na zádech na sjezdovce lépe vidět, nešpiní se jako ostře zelená. Nikdo z velkých výrobců batohů mi nevyhovoval, případně jsem za batoh nechtěl dát více než 4000 Kč - běžná cena :( Popruhy jsou dobře polstrované - při novotě trochu tuhé, předpokládám, že se poddají. Láhev na vodu - používám plast, je umístěná šikmo v batohu - není rovně. Je k dispozici poutko na uchycení hrdla, ale do kopce, když piju častěji, je to dost obtěžující. Není úplně jednoduché umístit láhev zpět jednou rukou a zajistit a stále jít. Jiný batoh musím sundat ze zad a láhev rukou vyjmout a vrátit. Camel bag nepoužívám. lze do batohu vložit. Zatím s výrobkem spokojenost.
Pohodlný i na delší výšlap...
hledal jsem batoh na kolo se síťovým odvětráním. Nejdříve jsem zakoupil batoh o polovinu levněnji v Lidlu, ale jejich zádový systém se po několika použití začal prodírat přes textilii batohu. Zvolil jsem proto tento batoh, který je zpracováním, pohodlím i vzhledem oproti původnímu lepší. Odvětrání zad funguje a při běžém zatížení pravděpodobně vydrží batoh dlouho. Jediná nepříjemnost je výška batohu, kdy vršek naráží do cyklistické helmy.
Jde to a nepatří se záda, za tu cenu výborné
Skvělý poměr cena/výkon
Batoh mám nově, ale okamžitě mě zaujal zádovým provedením - velmi pohodlné a skvělé větrá. Bederní pás krásně sedí a nikde netlačí. Boční kapsy nemají obvyklý přístup shora, ale z boku - lepší přístup s nasazeným batohem a zatím mi nic nevypadlo, takže asi plní účel :D Spousta kapes - velké plus. Rozhodně doporučuji! :)
Etwas eng zum einräumen, gutes Preis - Leistungsverhältnis, ideal für kurze Wanderungen

10-year warranty / our tests
Quechua’s research and approval partner for its components and assembly has carried out tests reproducing the aging effect of hiking backpacks. These tests were conducted on the components, seams, and finished product. For example, our hiking bag design guarantees 20,000 zipper openings/closings, 10,000 drops etc., equal to 10 years from the date shown on the sales receipt.
10-year warranty / conditions
The warranty covers the defects of the backpack, excluding those resulting from normal wear and improper use. This special 10-year warranty is only valid on presentation of the product and receipt. If the product is covered by the warranty, it will be repaired or exchanged free of charge. This sales warranty does not affect the statutory rights applicable in your country and/or state.
How to pack your 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 sunblock, 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 much weight can i carry?
We recommend that you never carry more than 25% of your body weight as you risk hurting your back! Even the best bag with perfect adjustments could injure you if too heavy.
How to adjust your backpack?
1 - Loosen all the straps: shoulder straps, belt, load-adjustment straps (these are the small straps above the shoulder straps) 2 - Put on the bag. 3 - Close the bag's belt, positioning it at the hips then tighten it until it feels firmly in place 4 - Tighten the bag’s shoulder straps 5 - Tighten the chest strap (not too tight to affect breathing) 6 - Adjust the load-adjustment straps (the bag will cling closely to the shoulders)
How is the volume measured?
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: we fill the main compartment as well as each pocket with little balls. Then we empty these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in liters.
How to care for and wash a backpack?
We recommend hand-washing your backpack. Use soapy, lukewarm water, possibly with a brush, focusing on the areas in contact with the body (shoulder straps, back, waist strap), where you have perspired. This is the best way for the fabric properties to be maintained, in particular the waterproofness. Then rinse well with lukewarm water, leave to dry in a dry place away from direct sunlight (no radiator). Store in a dry place.
