Product Customer Reviews
I gave this hiking bag to someone who had never owned one. And what a surprise to see how light and comfortable it was to carry. Storage-wise, it's great, and there's also the backpack's little rain cover. Value for money, it's excellent.
good value for money and very comfortable
Very practical and the volume is correct for a small size. The only small damage is that the base plate cannot be removed.
the backpack is extremely comfortable, adjustable, adjustable and can rest most of the weight on the hips, lots of storage compartments and zipped pockets, but what is really great is the ability to unzip the backpack from the bottom and take things out from the bottom of the backpack, in one word, great.
Used as a travel backpack for my 9-year-old, it was perfect! Comfortable, good capacity and good durability. The front opening is very practical for accessing what is at the bottom of the bag. Very good support too.
Very comfortable. The side pockets allow you to carry and remove bottles without removing your backpack. The front zipper is very useful for removing items from the bottom of the backpack.
What I like most about it are the elastic pockets on the hip belt. You can easily put a lot of things in them and everything is at hand. I haven't had a chance to test the breathability yet - I will evaluate it in the summer.
It looks great, has a lot of space, pole mount, great
Great for smaller hikes. The pockets on the waistband are very practical. The bag can also be opened from the side!
It is stylish, well ventilated, very practical in terms of multiple storage spaces, but a little heavy.
For the price, it's a very good buy, but it's true that it takes some getting used to the height of the backrest, even though I bought it in a size that fits my height.
Good capacity. The front opening is very practical for accessing what is in the bottom of the bag. Space saving thanks to the external space provided for water bottles (500cl x 2). The belt seems a little thin to me compared to my previous bag. We will see if the belt pockets last a long time because the stretchy fabric is very thin.
I have been using it for over a year for multi-day treks, super comfortable, durable, reliable and very roomy, every pocket is well designed!
Good
Super comfortable backpack, with several pockets. The way to open the main bag is very good, allowing access to the entire bag without having to empty it. The side bottle holders have a different shape, allowing you to remove and store bottles again with ease, without having to remove the backpack. The lumbar and back support is really good, with several sizes allowing an excellent adjustment to the 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.
