Question:

What is the internal dimensions of the main compartment. Thank you

Answer:

The bag has a 60 L volume with an extra 10 L extension. The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardised method. we use small balls to fill the main compartment as well as each pocket. The balls are then emptied into a graduated container in order to determine the equivalent volume in litres, with a margin of error of just a few %. Bag dimensions when in use: Height : 70 cm / 28 in Width: 40cm / 16 inDepth: 35 Cm/14 inBack length (= distance 7th vertebrate - ilium)

Question:

What is the smallest load (in liters) it can carry securely / without looking baggy or flopping around?

Answer:

The MT500 AIR backpack has a capacity of 60 liters, with an extra 10-liter extension. While we recommend not exceeding 33 pounds for optimal performance, it's important to distribute the load properly to prevent it from looking loose or unstable. Based on the dimensions provided (Height: 28 inches, Width: 16 inches, Depth: 14 inches), packing heavier items closer to your back and clothing around them will help ensure a secure fit without the bag appearing baggy or flopping around. The adjustable back structure with mesh fabric also provides breathability and comfort during use.

Question:

how much weight can this bag handle comfortably?

Answer:

The MT500 AIR backpack has a capacity of 60 liters, with an extra 10-liter extension. While we recommend not exceeding 33 pounds for optimal performance, it's important to distribute the load properly to prevent it from looking loose or unstable.

Question:

Will this backpack be the correct fit for a taller person at 194cm with a long torso comfortably?

Answer:

This backpack should be a comfortable fit for a taller person with a long torso. The torso length is adjustable between 16 inches (40 cm) and 21 inches (53 cm), and the waistband adjusts from 31 inches (79 cm) to 54 inches (136 cm). Given these dimensions, it should accommodate your height of 194 cm comfortably.

Price performance and functionality

I was looking for a backpack for the Lycian Way hike, I was torn between the Naturehike and Forclaz bags. The bag that caught my attention the most in terms of both price and functionality was the one. We will try it on the Lycian Way hike and see.

very surprised

really very good bag. Modular, practical, adjustable as desired. Doesn't hurt your back with 20 kg in it. A good cheap bag worthy of the biggest brands. Very well thought out size straps

Very good for getting started but remains quite heavy

Not bad for an introduction to the world of trekking. Nevertheless, its weight remains substantial!

Water bag pocket

The place where the water bag is placed seems to be designed for a 1 litre bag, but when I choose a 2 litre or larger one I have to push it down very far to fit, which causes it to get stuck at the bottom.

Recommended carry weight

According to the project for which this backpack was designed, we recommend you don’t load it above 15 kg. Then you can benefit from all its features. Moreover, it’s not recommended to carry a load greater than 20-25% of your own weight and put too much pressure on your back.

How to pack a backpack?

Put your bedding at the bottom. Put heavy gear (tent, camp stove, food) near your back. Store your clothing around it. A groundsheet or tent can be placed under the flap or under the bag if there isn't room inside. Keep your waterproof jacket and fleece to hand. Place small items for daily use (sun cream, map, glasses etc.) in the pockets. The water bladder can be placed in the compartment provided down the back.

How to use the multi-use straps?

The new range of MT500 AIR and MT900 UL bags has two straps with open aluminium buckles (on the lower part of the bag). These straps let you hook on a tent or mattress under the bag or on the barrel. If not in use, these straps can be stored (by pushing them inside) in the hidden pocket intended for this or detached and used elsewhere with the lark's head knot buckle.

To make your MT500 AIR bag easier to use, check out our storage accessories, repair buckles or hanging straps.
