Lightweight, perfect size for day trips.
It doesn't feel on your back
quite ok for day hikes
Super comfortable, mega frame. Pockets on the hip belt - great. Could be more capacious, chimney shape - i.e. too vertical and narrow.
The backpack is very practical and looks very good-looking
A little too tight
I am a hiking guide. I have used this backpack for dozens of day trips, both in summer and winter. Only in winter I was able to use the entire 20 liter volume. More than enough space for any use. The elastic bands for tying trekking poles work perfectly. The ability to access the lower volume with the side zip has proven to be very functional.
for amateur level excellent, very roomy. resists rain and snow well. comfortable shoulder straps on the top, perhaps too rigid on the lower belt ones
I've had this pack for 16 months now. I have had this on my back for more than 400 miles. Most of my miles are in the backcountry and off trail in Rocky Mountain NP, 8 Colorado 14ers and one rim to rim in the Grand Canyon. I absolutely love this pack. There has not been one defect to date. I love the side zipper, mesh pocket and angled water bottle sleeves. The only thing I would like to see added is a sleeve to hold my poles. I do a lot of scrambling and it would be nice to have a place to put them briefly instead of taking my pack off. This pack fits real snug so when you're climbing it doesn't bounce around all over the place. This pack is a great value and better than an Osprey pack of similar size in my opinion.
Comfortable but the side pockets for bottles are not very accessible when the bag is on the back. In the end I regret the previous model of the same capacity which was perfect in all respects
Alright
I am very satisfied.
really perfect for walks or short stays
More colors
Used for day hikes in good and very bad weather The good thing is that it is well waterproof with cover Sturdy made, reasonably comfortable The less I find is that it weighs 1.3kg for 20l and is the same size outside as other 30l backpacks I also don't like the water bottle holders that much. Very inconvenient to put a bottle back and 1l bottle sticks out enormously, I hit it with my elbow and if you have to bend over you lose your 1l bottle.. In short, for this size and weight I prefer to look for 1 with 25-30l capacity

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.

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.
