Product Customer Reviews

Unrivaled backpack, good quality, very light, ventilated. Multiple backpack from Decathlon and satisfaction again!
Used for 15 days on hikes of 9 to 18 km per day, from 1000 to 2400m altitude per day, it was a joy, I was looking for a model with a net stretched in the back because it was much more comfortable (old experience) and I didn't like it. I was not disappointed, it is full of extra tips...I highly recommend it and must be 1kg less than my Millet of the same volume, which will now stay at home....I highly recommend the product and removing it from the catalog will be an error..
Very good I recommend
Flawless
It’s an excellent product.
Hip and shoulder straps fit well. Very pleasant up to at least 10-13kg. The back ventilates well. Many pockets and bags also on the hip belt. Drinking bag and hose easy to install. Enough space for a summer hike with a tent.
with the same amount you can buy products of better brands and materials.
Variability, comfortable to wear, but for winter camping I would choose 10 l bigger.
Comfortable and light, excellent for camping
Rather light. Very comfortable. Rather cheap. The fabric seems sturdy. I loved the housing to place the water bottle, easily accessible with the right hand without having to put the bag down (I am against water bags: risk of drilling or leaking). The lace to block it is very useful, otherwise it can fall when you bend over with the bag. The fasteners are a little too small, I hope they are solid and that they will hold up over time. It takes a bit of time to get used to it. It must not be easy to handle with gloves There are straps with fasteners in the main compartment but I don't see much use for them, especially since I store my belongings in plastic bags that pile up in the bag. Last detail that is important: I am 1m80 and by setting the setting to the maximum I am in abutment so that the carried is correct on the shoulders and on the hips. This is the only point that made me hesitate when buying but in the end it's ok. I therefore absolutely recommend that you try it with settings before buying it. In any case, I recommend, the volume is sufficient to go on an independent hike. I'm delighted, especially since my old bag (also decathlon) was 10 or 15 years old, I measure the significant progress made by the brand for this product.
very good bag
I used this bag for 8 days of walking last May (lodging + 4 days of food). The women's model being out of stock, I fell back on this one. I had tried the women's model in 50L but I still lacked a bit of space. The adjustment was not easy, the bag went down a little low (on the top of the buttocks) despite a substantial ventral tightening and therefore required to often raise it on the hips during walking. I am 1m70. I liked the fact that it is not pressed against the back. Too bad the pockets of the belt do not adjust. It is not easy to put the bottle back in the pocket provided without removing the bag.
He walked with me the Main Beskid Trail 502km and managed ... in total, the gross weight with food was about 17 kg and was carried comfortably for 16 days. When it rains, you should put on the attached cape because it gets wet quickly, but the ratio of quality and weight to price is unrivaled. Spacious side and front pockets, the flap will also fit a lot, but the water bottle holder rocks, there was a second water bottle in the other side pocket The pockets on the belt are capacious, in one pocket there is a wallet, a penknife, in the other quite a large phone I recommend !!! Minuses that can be dealt with/improved Lower straps for attaching additional luggage (a mat or a small tent), in my case a 1.5 kg tent, sometimes they can let go when putting the backpack on the ground, lifting it, putting it down ... and a few times the tent fell out of them on the way. I managed to attach it additionally to them. By attaching extra luggage there, the backpack is more stable when it is put down, it normally tips over, which can also be annoying
used for my Fuji trip and good
Fully satisfied. Optimal measurements for a week in the mountains in a tent. The internal part is easy to manage to find everything comfortably. The pockets are roomy. The adjustable top pocket for when the last few things don't fit anymore. Very practical curtain hooks. The pocket for the backpack cover is no longer underneath, but in front and offers new usable space. The innovative bottle holder pocket allows you to take and store the bottle without having to remove the backpack from your shoulders.

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 at hand. Place small items for daily use (sunblock, 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
