What are the dimensions of this backpack?

The backpack has a 50 L capacity with an extra detachable 10 L. The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: We fill up the main compartment and pockets with small balls. The balls are then emptied into a graduated container to determine the equivalent volume in litres, with a very small margin of error.

What is this backpack’s capacity?

1.89 kg (4.2 lb) all inclusive.
Weight of the removable rain cover: 100 g (3.5 oz)

What is the weight of the backpack?

As with the MT 900 UL line, the MT 500 Air range has a ventilated back structure with mesh fabric that helps the back to breathe and dries quickly. Reinforced frame guarantees rigidity. Adjustable back with release strap that’s quick and easy to use.

What is the Air concept?

Polyamide main fabric 210D RS (ripstop = increased resistance to tears), reinforced base (420D x 330D RS)

What is the material used for this backpack?

Based on the backpack’s intended use, we recommend a maximum carry weight of 15 kg (33 lb). That way, you can benefit from all its features. Carrying a load greater than 20–25% of your own weight is also not recommended as it may put too much pressure on your back.

What is the recommended carrying weight?

Put your bedding at the bottom. Put heavy gear (tent, camp stove, food) near your back. Pack your clothing around it. A groundsheet or tent can be placed under the flap or under the bag if necessary. Keep a waterproof jacket and fleece at hand. Place small frequently used items in the pockets (sunscreen, map, glasses, etc.). The water bladder can be placed in the compartment provided down the back.

How to pack my backpack

The new range of MT 500 Air and MT 900 UL bags has two straps with open aluminum buckles (on the lower part of the bag). These straps allow you to hook on a tent or mattress under the bag or on the barrel. When not in use, simply push straps inside the hidden pocket or detach them and use elsewhere with the lark’s head knot buckle.

How to use the multi-use straps
