A marvel at an absolutely accessible price. Roomy and light, it has many useful pockets for small objects (keys, telephone, tissues) and is not bad aesthetically. Talking about ventilation seems excessive to me, certainly the back remains drier than a classic backpack
Very good product to see over time.
Tested on the GR52 6 days of 10 hours of walking, loaded with 9 kilos. Good comfort, good stability. No friction from the bag. Water bottles accessible without problem. Large capacity expandable front pockets. Main volume of the bag accessible from the top and side, very useful. Two other pockets on the top and back of the bag. As a bonus, the over-bag (not used since no rain) Very happy with this purchase! 👍
after I got home, I noticed that a clip was broken, I don't know if I can change it
Practical, with many pockets and good support.
If you make the clasp adjustments properly while walking, it will never make its presence felt. Maybe it could have been a little better in terms of pockets, but the capacity and ventilation part are very good.
The backpack is very practical, opening with a zipper on the side gives access to the interior without taking out all the items. Compression straps come in handy when I'm carrying a partial load. Two pockets for bottles/water bottles on the side, so I have them at hand, two pockets on the hip belt for documents or a phone are also very useful while hiking. Generally speaking, it's hard to fault anything, I recommend it.
I walked with the backpack 170 km on via Transilvanica and it was exactly what I needed in terms of capacity, ventilation, pockets, the backpack is really good and the price is fair in my opinion.
I can only warmly recommend the backpack. He has already taken part in several hut hikes in the Alps (3 to 9 days of hiking) and has mastered each trip without any problems.
Very good value for money, I recommend this item. I have used it several times while hiking and it is very comfortable. I really like its all-purpose color. If you use it without filling it to the maximum, it compacts easily.
Value for money,
Super bag, we almost forget it. :)
I bought it because I had a long motorcycle trip, out of urgency I bought it and honestly it is an excellent backpack, very practical, it distributes the weight very well. I loved
this bag is perfect for hiking 😉👍 I recommend without hesitation.

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 ”Bag accessories / hiking trekking”, we sell tightening buckles and chest clips that are compatible with your bag. Don't 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 liters, 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 67”, go for size L. If you are shorter than 67” cm, you will be better off with a size S.
Hydration
This bag can hold 1 liter, 2 liter or 3 liter 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 liter.
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: shoulder straps, belt, load-adjuster straps (these are the small straps above the shoulder straps)2 - Put on the bag. 3 - Close the bag's belt, positioning it at the hips then tighten it until it feels firmly in place 4 - Tighten the bag’s shoulder straps 5 - Tighten the chest strap (not too tight to affect breathing)6 - Adjust the load-adjuster straps (the bag will cling closely to the shoulders)
