Product Customer Reviews
Backpack suitable for one/two day excursions. Very roomy and with various pockets
The backpack is great for both the mountains and any travel. I've been using it for over two years and I can't praise it enough. It has lots of useful pockets, both for drinks and for keys, for example.
Tried only for the winter season so I can't evaluate the ventilation but for the moment positive opinion, good capacity, comfortable opening, no problem even for water bottles in the side pockets, the materials also seem good, we'll see after the more demanding summer season
Hello, I am going to Scotland for a few days. Are the dimensions of this bag suitable for taking on the plane as cabin baggage?
Optimal
So far 130 km of trekking, the abrasion resistance is excellent, I think I can easily get to a few years of using them
An excellent backpack for trips, pockets exactly where they should be, 100% usable, and excellent durability.
The snap buckles are uncomfortable to use. They are difficult to fasten blindly (e.g. at night) and easy to pinch your fingers. The previous Decathlon backpack had more comfortable buckles to use.
This bag is really great! From storage to carrying, it is really well designed. I have a bag from a big brand and I can see the difference in carrying it on my shoulders. I think I'll get a second one because I'm so happy with it.
large capacity. plenty of storage space. easy to place on the back and adjust.
I recommend, very good quality
bag a little too long, it would be much more practical if it had a little more width and depth and the height reduced. for people of 1m50, the amplitude of the head movements is each time blocked by the top of the bag.
Simply a cheap alternative to deuterium
Ideal for smaller people
Fits the body shape, good back

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.
