Strong and sturdy and comfortable
I wanted to buy this bag for a very long time, I bought it to go on a big road trip of 6 months, after a week one of the two straps that hold the bag broke. I am in a city where there is no decathlon and I will have to use this one for weeks before I find one....... disappointed for the first time in decathlon.
Love the back opening. It makes so much more sense giving very easy access to the content of the whole pack. Wish the material was weather/water proof.
Hi Luc! Thank you for taking the time to review our product. We love hearing that you enjoy using our backpack. We actually include a rain cover with all Mountain Hiking and Trekking backpacks! On this model it is located in a velcro pocket at the bottom of the bag. We hope this helps to enjoy your backpack in all weather See you again soon!

I got this pack for a recent trip mainly because of the carry on size. I really like the detachable day bag as well. Plenty of space but could use a divider in the main compartment. Regardless, I was very happy with this and will be using it for years to come.

Bought this for my boyfriend for hiking/backcountry camping. He RAVES about the comfortability of the bag and is able to fit all the necessities !
Very convenient and comfortable.load of space and as a backpacker would like like.
Overall good bag but the quality is lacking, strap on top broke off before i even went out with it. Might be okay for casual hiking but not for camping or wild camping… quite comfy though
Not used it yet but Decathlon keep bugging me for a review. Looks good though.
Well designed, spacious, and comfortable fit. Have used on many camps and walks. Superb buy.
I took this backpack with me around South East Asia for 3 months. All of its features were perfect for the job; the 10L detachable pouch is great for daytrips (it has 3 different sections within so easy to organise), lockable zips were great for shared hostels, there were loads of mesh pockets and hooks inside the compartments, the huge opening is a must it is way more suited than the normal top entry on backpacks for travelling and there is an entire compartment for shoes at the bottom which can also be opened through to the main compartment for more room. The build quality is really good for the price with it having tougher material on the back and bottom to prevent tears, straps are comfortable to wear for hours at a time and you couldn't get much more strap adjustment on a backpack really. Overall really good for the price. A side note this backpack it is actually 50L + 10L because of the top section so i consider it a 60L backpack. However if I were to choose again I would get the bigger 70L version (which again is actually 70L + 10L) because for a little bit extra the bigger size is way more practical for use back in the uk plus it means you can bring extra bits back home with you. For me (an averaged size guy) the 70L size wouldn't be inconvenience at all travelling around busy cities so Id consider the 70L too although the 60L is perfect if youre not interested in any of that.
Remove attached valuables bag and tuck shoulder straps inside the back support pouch. Don't overpack and you can takeaboard an easy jet flight as hand luggage. I know, I tried it. Let's see if O'Leary jet (Ryanair) allows it as a flight bag in the same way. Very impressed with fit, comfort, attachments, style and versatility. Get one it has great potential for most modern day trekkers.
Great backpack - lockable zips very handy when travelling
Lots of great well thought out features with brilliant placement of strappings for keeping everything locked down and in place, and that means internal as well as external strappings. Love the accessibility into each compartment and the fact that the top pocket is removable so you have a little day pouch to carry valuables etc. The storm cover is really well made and tough. The comfort is the best of any pack I've had. Simply amazing value, top quality product.
I recently started the camino de Santiago, a trek of over 520 miles, I wanted a lockable, 50lt rucksack, as i was staying in hostels, but was durable enough to with stand the journey. The biggest plus for this rucksack, is the way it opens, like a suitcase. This allows full access, to save rummaging around, for items at the bottom. This further allowed for the rucksack to be properly packed, as I was doing on average 20 miles a day, & nothing is worse than having to stop half way thru the day, to re-pack your rucksack. The side pockets easily held a 1 litre water bottle, & it was easier enough to remove it, without taking the rucksack off. It was so easy to adjust the straps, whilst wearing, & the waist strap, helped take the weight off the shoulders. If your planning a long hike,over different terrain, I would recommend this.
Bought this (online from Decathlon Australia and delivered to NZ) for 2-3 day tramps/hikes and overnight business trips. It delivers. Access is good, there's a multitude of pockets and it's comfortable to carry. The only think I would ask for would be strap cover to hide/contain the shoulder and waist straps when not carrying the pack (i.e. when checking it in for flights). The lid/man-bag is useful for taking as small cabin baggage when the rest of the pack is checked-in, and is big enough to hold my tablet .

How to fill my bag for optimal comfort?
Put your bedding at the bottom. Place heavy gear near your back (tent, camp stove, food). Pack your clothes around these items. The groundsheet can be placed under the flap; the tent under the bag if there's no room inside. Keep your waterproof jacket and fleece to hand. Place small items for daily use in the pockets (sun cream, map, glasses, etc.). The water bladder can be placed in the compartment generally provided down the back.
The easyfit system
This patented system lets you adjust your backpack in a single intuitive step to fit your body shape while it is on your back: for maximum comfort.
How do i adjust my backpack?
To begin, LOOSEN all the straps (shoulder straps, belt, load adjuster straps).Then, put the bag on and PLACE THE BELT ON THE HIPS (it must cover the pelvic bones around the hips) to TIGHTEN.Finally, PULL THE Easyfit STRAPS and the strap block will go around your shoulders.Finally, just ADJUST THE LOAD ADJUSTERS to get the perfect fit for your back.
Easyfit effectiveness tests are carried out by our research and development teams
User-friendly design: adjustment time is 2.3 times shorter with EasyFit backpacks; with the EasyFit system, you'll never have to backtrack. Does not affect the quality of adjustment compared to a bag with standard adjustment: EasyFit was rated significantly more comfortable on a 4% Friedmann statistical test; users also noted better adjustments 6 times more often.
How is bag volume measured?
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardised method: we fill the main compartment as well as each pocket with little balls. We then empty these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in litres, with a tolerance of a few %.The weight indicated is that of our benchmark sample. There may be slight variations.
10-year guarantee
The guarantee covers any backpack faults, except those caused by normal wear and tear and improper use. This special 10-year warranty will only be granted upon presentation of the receipt and the product, if the product is covered by warranty, it will be repaired or exchanged, free of charge. This sales warranty does not affect the statutory rights applicable in your country and/or State.
Weight and dimensions
The bag is 56 cm in height, 40 cm wide and 26 cm deep.It weights approximately 2.3 kg.
Product testing
Using laboratory and field tests, we check the bag's resistance to abrasion and tearing, its colour fastness to UV light and washing, and its waterproofing.Then, the weighted backpack is placed on a dummy that simulates ageing by replicating thousands of fast walking movements, to check the durability of assemblies.The components (fabrics, buckles, straps, foam, zips, etc.) are also tested separately so that we can guarantee these bags for 10 years.
Storage instructions
Store your bag in a dry, ventilated place away from direct light.
