Even when very full it is not too heavy on the shoulders.

practical and comfortable

only one downside concerning the pitcher on the side for the water bottle, the water bottle does not hold properly in place, I risked losing it several times when removing the bag from the back. it would have been necessary to put an elastic net in this place.

Very satisfied with the product. The weight is very well distributed. All the pockets are useful. It stands out for its design, its color.

Two details to make it perfect for me

Hello, on a Compostela type itinerant, 10 days or more, impeccable L bag for my 1 m 80. Just 2 details: - passage of the teat of my Source water pocket a little tricky, it forces, and the very practical zipped pocket gets stuck behind. Why not 1 or 2 snaps to let the tube pass? - there are 4 loops under the bag, but the Decathlon straps in the accessories section are a little narrow and not intuitive to use. One or two elastics with blockers would be welcome, I will also add them, for the leisure shoes. Otherwise, my best bag for a long time, bravo!

Slanted pockets for water bottles: what an idea!

I had noted a comment that was refused by Decathlon (supposedly because it was not French!), so I'm trying again here: What a crazy idea to have put slanted pockets for the water bottles (so as to supposedly be able to take the water bottle without removing the bag from your back, which is impossible since they are held by elastic bands). The 1 liter Decathlon water bottles stick out and hit your elbows when you walk and their cap (plastic quick release) opens and empties the water bottle on you! Not practical or wise! I went to report this problem to the store, specifying that I had used the bag for 5 days, they offered to take it back for €35 which I refused then a manager, seeing that similar opinions to my concern were noted, finally agreed to reimburse me. Messages to the product managers: remake the same bag with straight pockets, I'll buy it again immediately. Messages to moderators: this message, like the first, is in understandable French, please validate it.

Versatile and comfortable backpack, excellent for quality and price. Recommended

Great, lots of storage space and various pockets.

For the price I would have appreciated a couple more zippered pockets, but it's still a well-made backpack.

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.

It brings together 4 themes, each with their own area and technological tools:Morphology (especially thanks to the 3D analysis)Movement sciencesThermal comfort (with its four climatic chambers)Behavioral and sensory sciences+ we describe the specific aspects of the test related to the product (e.g. shower, wind tunnel, etc.)
