Product Customer Reviews
I bought this second bag after testing my partner's. It's comfortable and light, and doesn't give me back pain like some others. There's plenty of storage space and it opens on the side without having to open the top.
They are enough for my 20km hike to have everything I need with me.
Great price-performance ratio, great backpack, lots of goodies etc.
very nice hiking bag allows interesting storage with its numerous pockets
Extremely comfortable to wear. The snap fasteners seem a bit unstable and fragile, and they're also a bit small. All in all, a great product.
Practical for transporting your files by bike but also as a cabin suitcase
After testing this backpack on day hikes, I can say I'll be taking it with me on the Camino de Santiago. It's comfortable, spacious, and has plenty of pockets for small hiking essentials. A plus is the roominess so you can put the sleeping bag underneath or on top, and also the handle for the bottles. People comment that they fall out because they don't use the elastic band to hold them. In my opinion, these side openings are much better, as they allow you to grab the bottles without taking off the backpack.
Lightweight bag with good shoulder strap padding, comfortable to carry and plenty of pockets. Good value for money.
Good value for money for this bag that I have been using daily for over 2 years. Solid, well thought out and well ventilated. I recommend it!
I really liked it when I first put it on, the backrest supports very well and the numerous pockets are excellent. Overall excellent quality
It is a wonderful product with its durability, color, pockets and especially the side water bottle pockets. I am glad I bought it before it runs out. I highly recommend it.
The 30l hiking backpack is extremely practical and comfortable for longer tours. With enough space for basic equipment and well-organized pockets, it provides excellent support and stability. It is the perfect choice for all adventurers looking for a reliable backpack at an affordable price.
It's lightweight, durable, and breathable. It's a great value backpack.
Backpack is solidly made. I recommend it
practical backpack with sufficient capacity and very good accessibility of stored items

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.
