Best deal ⭐ Quechua MH500, Hiking 20 L 🎒 Backpack, Adult 🧨

This 20-liter hiking backpack offers maximum back ventilation for extra comfort. Light. We love the built-in rain cover.

At the foot of Mont Blanc, our passionate team designed this backpack for intermediate hikers in the mountains (4-6 hours, 6-12 miles)

Waterproofing

Built-in rain cover.

Laboratory Testing

We carry out laboratory tests to validate all component parts: fabric, buckles, straps, foam and zippers. For example, for fabric: resistance to wear, tearing, colorfastness under UV rays, washing, waterproofing. A final test on the finished product simulates the kind of treatment to which it will be subjected over several years, to assess the strength of the assembly: the backpack is weighted, then placed on a dummy, which then reproduces the movement of fast walking over thousands of cycles.

10-year warranty, technical partnership

The heavy stitching research and development department, Quechua’s partner for researching and testing its components and assemblies, conducted tests simulating backpack aging. The tests focused on components, seams and the end product. As a result of these tests, Quechua can guarantee all bags tested for a duration of 10 years from the date of purchase indicated on the sales receipt.

10-year guarantee, conditions

The guarantee covers any backpack faults, except those caused by normal wear and tear and improper use. This special 10-year guarantee will only be granted upon presentation of the product and sales receipt. If the product is covered by the warranty, it will be repaired or exchanged for free. This commercial guarantee does not affect any statutory guarantees that are applicable in the country of purchase.

How is backpack volume measured?

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: we fill the main compartment as well as each pocket with little balls. Then we empty these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in liters.

How to adjust your backpack?

1 – Loosen all the straps (straps, hip belt, load adjuster straps). 2 – Put the backpack on. 3 – For backpacks with a capacity of 50 L or more, place the hip belt correctly (it should sit over the pelvis) and tighten it. For smaller backpacks, the belt should be placed around the waist. 4 -Tighten the shoulder straps. 5 – Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed.

How to pack a backpack?

Put your bedding at the bottom. Put heavy gear near to the back. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece close to hand. Place small items for daily use (sunblock, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets. Put the water bladder in the compartment that is designed for this.

Environmental measures

Decathlon and Quechua have chosen to inform you of the environmental impact of its hiking backpack products over the entire lifecycle. This work resulted from an experiment completed in July 2011 alongside the French Ministry of Ecology. Scores ranging from A to E were awarded based on comparisons between Quechua’s backpacks only. Details on this project and the calculation methods used are available at http://www.oxylane.com/20/demarche-environnementale
