250g less than the old 40l is an undeniable improvement, the back ventilation of the previous 20 and 30 liters is perfect. After 65 km of carrying it seems that the padding of the lumbar belt is a little short, 5 cm more on each side would be perfect and even if the quality of the fabric which ensures the weight is a little light this bag avengingly replaces the previous one
First backpack. Perfect, roomy, comfortable. Pockets in the right places.
This backpack would have everything to be perfect! However, it fails in the most basic aspect: comfort. I went on a 3-day trip, weighing 7kg (backpack and equipment). I tried several adjustments to the backpack, without success. When worn correctly, the strap around the waist, centered on the hip bone, the rigid structure of the backpack is exposed below the strap, touching the buttocks when walking. After 20 km of walking, my buttocks started to feel sore and bruised. I was forced to adjust the backpack to wear the strap in a higher position so that the rigid structure would not touch my body as I walked. Another thing that leaves a lot to be desired is the comfort of the straps. As soon as I bought the backpack, I suspected that it could be a problem because of its hardness. And it was confirmed. Precisely because of their hardness (I had hoped that with use they would soften, but no), they do not adapt properly to the structure of the shoulders. By the end of the first day, my shoulders were sore and bruised. The inside of each strap (the one closest to the neck) creased into my skin. I have a lot of experience in mountaineering, so it wasn't a question of inexperience in adjusting the backpack. He was forced to return the backpack (and I have to give a big compliment to Decathlon's return policy. I dare say, the best in the world!). As advice to improve and make the backpack perfect, it would be: Straps with softer foam that adjust to the morphology of the body; the rigid structure at the bottom of the backpack should be protected by the strap and not below it or not have such a prominent curvature. In terms of compartmentalization, we have everything we could want. Yes, it could be lighter, but for that other materials would have to be used and the price would naturally be much higher. And in this regard, I think what's missing is a backpack like the MT900 Light (50L+10L), in a 35L+5L version.
The product feels premium like famous international brands. The suspension system and frame is very much similar to Osprey. The organisation and easy access pockets in stretch mesh are nicely done. Feels comfortable and in place even when loaded with 11kg stuff. This is first impression. In use review later. Good work Decathlon! Please prove your courier partner, this is the third consecutive order which got delayed by 2 days. Cannot trust if planning for a trek or travel.
Very comfortable to carry, adjustable length in sections. Zipper on the side. Easy and convenient to access. Affordable price. Highly recommended!
We love it! Take it and bring it! ;)

A backpack that can be used for almost anything, as it is large but not excessively so.
Very nice backpack, many well-placed pockets, adjustable backrest and finally the available colours are also nice. But there is a but! I had to return it because, trying it loaded at home, the shoulder straps really bothered my neck. Despite the excellent and wide adjustment I couldn't carry it. A real shame😢! So try it loaded in the shop and, if it doesn't give you this problem, I still recommend buying it because the materials, colours and everything else are excellent! I opted for the previous 40 litre model.
Optimal size for me.
Very nice design/ light weight/ cloth material and all related material is of high quality and look. Very attractive look.
Just amazed with this bag.I just used this for my recent and it it very light and very good for shoulder and waist.
Beautiful
