Product Customer Reviews
Tested on a weekly march (min. 30 km every day) and on several shorter trips. The backpack fits very well and the pockets are placed in such a way that even the side pockets can be easily reached while walking, e.g. for water. On the body of the backpack and on the lid, there are several options for attaching a small carabiner, and the lower straps for hanging, for example, mats, are also well designed. Side opening is excellent. Overall, you can see that someone put a lot of effort into designing this backpack and thought about the needs of the users, and the workmanship is also good. With its weight, it is not one of the lightest in the UltraLight category, but it is amply compensated by a lot of small gadgets and, of course, the purchase price.
No complaints
A light, well-made backpack
I return to the review. The first impression was good, but after a 3 day shift it changed. Uphill or flat it's ok - ish. The problem with the backpack appeared on the way down. Every 2-3 steps it would slide down on my hip as I tightened the strap and adjusted the length of the back. The frame of the backpack ended up pressing on the hip, causing immense discomfort. Shame, the materials seem good, the side pockets are great, so is the zip access, the straps under the rucksack are brilliant.
Very light and comfortable backpack. The side pockets are a great idea, I carry water bottles in them, which are easily accessible even without removing the backpack.
Perfect
Lightweight and very easy to adjust. The color is also very nice.
Strong points: - Light - Solid - Comfortable and easily adjustable Weak points: - Price - The compartments on the sides do not close
This is the perfect comfort to weight ratio backpack I've ever tried. The new class of ultralight backpacks are just not very comfortable. I do wish they had a 40l or 50l option.
Need a larger size
With this backpack I followed Francesco's path crossing the Apennines between Tuscany and Umbria... super satisfied. It met all my needs, in some cases I loaded it well over 14 kg without any problems.

Modern, very practical products
good
Very comfortable if the load limit is respected, a little worse if it is overloaded.

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
50 L volume +10 L 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.
