Product Customer Reviews

Although I use it once a month, the quality needs to be improved.
Very practical backpack with lots of storage and space for a water reserve (2L) at the back of the bag for hiking with an outlet for the water hose, which is a real plus for me who 'used every day for very regular cycling, daily walking and traveling. Too bad it closes with the zippers which yes are practical, but less solid and above all does not leave more space or choice of storage shape to put in the bag. Its shape is very ergonomic and comfortable but can be too high in relation to the width which makes it unstable when placed down, it does not stand up if it is full. There are several locations and pockets, it is very practical for papers in the front pocket. The mesh pockets on the sides are very practical. I would say that there may be two straps missing at the waist/hip level for heavier loads (sometimes I put some bulky but heavy shopping there). It is very comfortable under normal load. I recommend this bag!
Comfortable and good capacity for a wk on the move, mid season you have to plan a little of everything
Super backpack with very practical pockets whether for short day hikes or for more urban use the reinforcement in the back is really a plus, it allows you to have better support without feeling things in the bag and the waterproof cover is great I recommend
Very convenient,
Alright
This bag has become so useful for everyday use (going to work, shopping, carrying juggling things, sometimes sitting...) that I don't have the heart to throw it away, because even though it's faded, the material wears out in several places, so after at least 4-5 years, but the rest now I miss the rain cover from the available bag and this shape along with the size. I like the chest strap and I usually use it. The waistband is either wide or simply hangs unused. It would be nice if you could get it again.
Still as practical and solid
I like the simple and "discreet" side of the bag, the nets on each side are very good, the elimination of the belly strap too (I never closed it on my previous bag). The slightly more daring choice on your part, I think, is the vertical opening of the small pocket, I would have preferred a classic horizontal opening because I think it is more secure, here I hesitate to overfill this part so as not to let it fall. Initially I was looking for a 20/25L bag with a breathable frame, unfortunately that doesn't exist yet, I put it on this one and so... I always sweat when I wear it... too bad. I also like the rigid side, my old one was too flexible, we'll see if it stays. It's a good bag, to see if the closures last for years. I like hanging things up, there might be a string or something missing but that doesn't matter.
All-terrain backpack: sport, work, vacation Pretty and ultra-resistant A safe value since the user really doesn't pay attention to these things 😂 Computer well protected too Second purchase, the first having ended up wearing out after several years.
Very effective. Lightweight, comfortable to carry and many pockets
Perfect
I have had this bag for 3 years and I use it regularly, it is still in very good condition. Very practical for travel, hiking, classes. In addition you can put two bottles of water.
great value for money, fast shipping and solid packaging.

Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric: 100.0% Polyethylene Terephthalate ; Main lining: 100.0% Polyethylene Terephthalate ; Yoke: 100.0% Polyamide ; Webbing: 100.0% Polypropylene ; Bag cover: 100.0% Polyethylene Terephthalate
How is volume measured?
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standard 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 adjust your backpack?
1 - Loosen all the straps (straps, belt, load adjuster straps). 2 - Put on the backpack. 3 - Tighten the shoulder straps. 4 - Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed.
How to fill your backpack?
Put your heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece within arm’s reach. Place small items for daily use (sunblock, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets. The water bladder will be placed in the compartment provided along the back, and the water bottle in the outer flask holder pockets provided for this purpose.
Laboratory tested
We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag's components: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zippers. For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, colorfastness when exposed to UV light and washing, and waterproofing. We also conduct tests to check the resistance of assembly using a dummy that reproduces the movements of a hiker to replicate several years of wear and tear on the bag.
10-year guarantee
Our Quechua hiking backpacks are guaranteed for 10 years. Our commitment? To provide long-lasting products that you can use for all your hikes and strolls. Because the products we love the most are those that have shared great adventures with us and will continue to do so! The guarantee covers any backpack faults, except those caused by normal wear and tear and improper use.
Product testing
It’s in France, at the foot of Mont Blanc, that our design team conceives, creates, and designs the Quechua products. We test them in the field with other hikers to make sure that they are comfortable and durable. Brittany, Corsica, Reunion Island, etc. We go to as many trails as possible, in all weather conditions. Great conditions for discussion, which is precious to gain your feedback and plan ahead for new products!
