Amazing

Excellent support, very comfortable and with great ventilation.

Very convenient for one day trekking because it has little capacity. Great backpack.

Ideal for one day hike

I used to go hiking with a laptop backpack and started realizing that it’s really bad for my spine and shoulders, found this Quechua backpack with £5 discount and absolutely happy, waist straps work so good I don’t feel any tension on my shoulders. More pockets would be better though and water pockets seem unreliable (bottles are always slipping out).

Ideal for day hikes.

Perfect for a week of hiking. Very practical with its zippers on the side, allowing you to easily retrieve something from the bottom of the bag. And comfortable.

Very good product

Several outings with this bag which turned out to be a very good bag, very well placed pockets, easy to carry with its belt, 20L therefore limited capacity but comparable to 30L with its perfect organization

Having a quick sore…

Having back pain quickly when carrying, I hesitated to buy this product due to its empty weight, but I do not regret my choice for the moment. It is well designed, the straps do not hurt the shoulders (unlike my previous lighter bag with a smaller capacity), it does not stick to the back due to the net and the frame which let the air circulate (which is very appreciable). At the bottom there is a pocket which contains a rain cover (not used to date)

A nice backpack for 1-2 day trips

Comfortable and roomy backpack, well-made, it has conquered several peaks with me, angled pockets help in taking out bottles, I would personally make pole straps on both sides of the backpack but that's just my whim

Great backpack

The backpack works very well for short trips

Mixed

Perfect for the look, but after trying to fill it at home, I realized that it was really thin. So difficult to fill or empty the bag. For the use I wanted, it was not good. But I think for a pure hiking backpack use would be perfect. I returned it to Decathlon.

nice backpack

the backpack is very comfortable, lots of pockets and a great plus for the place for a bottle from which you can easily take it out. a small minus for the capacity of the largest compartment. the entrance is quite tight and it is difficult to pack. but overall a plus

Exactly matches my…

Exactly what I expected, large pockets on the belt for the cell phone, ventilated back, pockets on each side for the water bottle... very happy with my purchase!

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.

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.

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)Behavioural and sensory sciences+ we describe the specific aspects of the test related to the product (e.g. shower, wind tunnel, etc.)
