Product Customer Reviews
Sleek, light. Perfect for quick trips to the mountains.
This backpack meets my needs. It is lightweight and can be tied to the chest and waist, making it easy to carry. I recommend it to my friends and will buy it again in the future. However, I am not a mountaineer. The first time I used a water bag to carry water, I hiked in the suburbs for two hours. The gray strap that fixed the water bag in the backpack broke, and the backpack was wet. Decathlon exchanged it for me after understanding it. However, I was traumatized and did not use the water bag again after getting the new one. Another point is that I am not mountaineering, and it is much more convenient to use my own water bottle than to clean the water bag. I usually carry it when I take a bus back to my hometown. Although it is convenient to put the key bag in the side waist pocket, it will get stuck in my hand when walking. The side waist pocket is suitable for flatter handkerchiefs, toilet paper or EasyCard. It has been used until now, and there are 2 holes on it. I don’t know if it was hooked by someone when taking the MRT or because of the material.
Great backpack, I use it for hiking and climbing. Light and durable, everything is great except that there is no external pocket for a waterproof jacket for the backpack (ideally it could be at the bottom) and when using a water bladder it is not possible to put the mouthpiece through the hole
It's the perfect size for a day trip. It has a water bladder, lots of compartments and anchors, and pockets that are so handy to store your phone for taking photos and so on. It's really nice.

10-year guarantee
The guarantee covers any backpack faults, except those caused by normal wear and tear and improper use. This special 10-year warranty will only be granted upon presentation of the receipt and the product, and if the product is covered by warranty, it will be repaired or exchanged, free of charge. This commercial guarantee does not affect any statutory guarantees that are applicable in the country/state of purchase.
Durability
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.
Lightweight
Because when you hike, you must wear your equipment, we think about lightness. Here at Quechua, we design our products in such a way that they are always lighter and guarantee great freedom of movement.
Product design: our expertise
Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts. A great asset for designing your mountain walking products and providing you with all our expertise.
How to care for and wash a rucksack?
We recommend hand-washing your rucksack. Use soapy, lukewarm water, possibly with a brush, focusing on the areas in contact with the body (shoulder straps, back, waist belt), where you have perspired. This is the best way for the fabric properties to be maintained, in particular the waterproofness. Then rinse well with lukewarm water, dry in a dry place away from direct sunlight (no radiator). Store in a dry place.
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
Hand luggage
When you are travelling by plane, the authorized hand luggage size is 55x35x25cm3 maximum (warning, this can vary depending on the airline). This backpack can therefore be used as cabin baggage
Product testing
To meet your requirements, Quechua products are tested in the mountains in conditions you will encounter during your hikes. Our teams, as well as a tester panel (made up of partners, ambassadors and customers), test products throughout their development until they go to market.
Storage instructions
Store in a dark, dry, well-ventilated place.
