Product Customer Reviews
Meets my requirements
Easy to use. Good value for money.
The backpack is nice. The capacity for a one-day trip is sufficient. The material is quite thick, it inspires confidence. It is quite tight to load from the top, it is good that there is a side zipper. The external elastic pocket is very useful. An additional external pocket with a zipper is definitely a plus. The side pockets for water bottles/bottles/whatever are great. The pockets on the hip belt are quite elastic and can easily fit a large smartphone, although they could be longer and therefore more capacious. The straps are quite generous and comfortable. A rain cover is included in the set, but I did not have the opportunity to test it.
Practical and comfortable
Well suited to my body shape and my walks of more than 10km
GREAT AND PRACTICAL
Great backpack, small but roomy
For shorter trips, it's enough for me and two kids, nice access to a large pocket
Very comfortable, fits very well on the back. With many pockets.
I really liked this trekking backpack for several reasons. The different ways of adjusting the shoulder straps make it comfortable and easy to adapt to your body. The organization of the pockets and compartments is practical, with an elastic pocket on the outside very useful for quickly taking and putting away objects. The pockets on the lumbar support are very useful for keeping your wallet, smartphone and small accessories close at hand. The lumbar support is well structured and comfortable, while the breathability system on the back keeps your back dry even during long walks. The included rain cape is a great extra. Despite being a 20-liter backpack, it is very well designed and manages to contain almost the same amount of things that I put in another 30-liter backpack, which surprised me quite a bit.
the backpack is solidly made, it could have better ventilation of the straps, but it is worth recommending
Great bag with excellent value for money
top
Good for a day in the mountains. Roomy and light. Thanks to the frame, the back is ventilated.
The backpack will hold everything you need for a one-day trip to the mountains. A useful pocket for a hydration bladder allows you to place it in a separate compartment of the 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.
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.
