Product Customer Reviews
Excellent backpack, lightweight.
Multiple compartments for easy use
I chose to invest in this bag for its weight. But the bag is very uncomfortable on the lower back. The lack of padding meant that I felt the frame which caused me burns. The side pockets are large, but can only be used to store bulky things since they are open along their entire length.
Lack of comfort at the back level I walked 800km lack of padding especially at the lower back
Backpack used to do the GR20 in Corsica (northern part in 6 days) with the 2 water bottles the bag weighed around 10kg. Very good design of the "rear sail" fabric which allowed me to never have my back wet. The straps could be a little more "padded" even if my shoulders didn't hurt during the 6 days of hiking. Access to the water bottle through the side pockets is not possible once the backpack is full (I had not made this observation during my training on the 25 moguls course with the bag less full).
Ultra comfortable backpack. I finally found what I was looking for for a long time.
Take it to Japan for mountain climbing. The backpack can be used as hand luggage, so you can board and disembark quickly without waiting for check-in. Fits the body shape, is easy to adjust, comfortable to carry, and feels less weight-bearing. It is very convenient to store and retrieve items, and the breathable interlayer can be used to stuff commonly used items such as slippers, jackets, etc.
ergonomic, comfortable, it accompanied me during my 18-day trek o
Not bad and suitable
I replaced it with 45+10. This one is actually ok, but it seems more delicate and there is less pressure on it. Smaller buckles, straps, etc. If that's enough for someone, that's great.
value for money as it it so comfortable carrying your weight load, weight is properly distributed and doesn't hurt your shoulders
Excellent lightweight backpack. Lots of gadgets and nice details. Really great capacity with "inflatable" side pockets, which can easily fit a set of double tents with poles. A plus would be a front mesh pocket to better ventilate/dry things on the go. Also, the attachment/solution of the waist belt can, at certain settings and loads, lead to the lower bends of the frame structure uncomfortably resting/rubbing against, say, the lower back of the user. This can be adjusted by lifting on the shoulder straps, but then the lap belt takes less of the load than it could. With less load, this problem disappears. So far, the material holds up even after a "run" of approx. 500+ km.
Used 7 days in Compostela. Very light.
Top, comfortable, light and convenient with different pockets and straps
I bought this backpack for an 8-day backpacking tour and I'm extremely happy with it. It fits so much in it, it's comfortable and even after 6 hours on my back with 14 kg including food, I have no problems. I can 100% recommend this backpack.

Air design
Inspired by its sister, the MT500 AIR, this bag replicates many of the features of its ventilated back structure with a mesh fabric so that the back can breathe more and dry quickly.
Capacity
Volume of 45L with a +10L extension. The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardised method. we use small balls to fill the main compartment as well as each pocket. The balls are then emptied into a graduated container in order to determine the equivalent volume in litres, with a margin of error of just a few %.
How to pack a backpack?
Put your bedding at the bottom. Put heavy gear (tent, camp stove, food) near your back. Store your clothing around it. A groundsheet or tent can be placed under the flap or under the bag if there isn't room inside. Keep your waterproof jacket and fleece to hand. Place small items for daily use (sun cream, map, glasses etc.) in the pockets. The water bladder can be placed in the compartment provided down the back.
How to use the multi-use straps?
The new MT500 AIR and MT900 UL series of trekking backpacks have two straps with open aluminium buckles (on the lower part of the bag). These straps let you hook on a tent or mattress under the bag or on the barrel. If not in use, these straps can be stored (by pushing them inside) in the hidden pocket intended for this or detached and used elsewhere with the lark's head knot buckle.
