Product Customer Reviews

Quechua Arpenaz NH100 Hiking 20 L Backpack is a great small backpack for a variety of usages! Thank you!
Really good producto. The size is good, not too big. perfect for the necesary stuf.
Bought this bag to use during social bike rides. Works excellent. Enough room for the essentials as well as a light lunch if you want. Can't be the price! Don't know how Decathlon sells these so cheap!!
I love it amazing/Excellent
I would definitely recommend this backpack for hiking. The size is perfect! Considering how affordable this bag is, the quality is beyond what I expected! A great purchase indeed!
I do not know how, I must have scrap against a wall or something. I think I have bad luck buying from this place

Great size small backpack for air travel! Held everything I needed .
This is a quality backpack for short trips. The material quality is superb and it's light weight with enough pockets to keep stuff.
20 liter backpack, good quality. Good for tourist purposes
Light but durable. Perfect for a day hike.
The images of this backpack as a day pack and the color scheme was enticing enough for me to buy it. But was disappointed when I got it. It' just too flimsy a material and is smaller than it looks in the images. Decathlon has an excellent return policy and I got my refund.
The major issue I have is with the side (bottle) pockets. They have been completely destroyed after less than 2 months of using the backpack. Very disappointing. The material used is clearly not fit for purpose, which is a shame since this backpack is a nice size for everyday use. The material on the back-pad of the pack and on the shoulder straps is also disintegrating rapidly. I don't expect it would last another month before falling apart. I purchased this as a smaller backpack to travel with. I like the size and the overall layout; however, I would not recommend this backpack or similar packs from this brand based on my experience.
Hi Brendan,
I am sorry to hear you have had such a negative experience with your NH Arpenaz 100 - 20L Backpack. All our bags have a 10year warranty. I would recommend returning the product for an exchange or refund of your choice.
This is quite strange and I would like to send photos to our global team for review in order to note any quality issues.
Sportingly,
Matthew

I love these bags. Have already got the small one (which has been very durable even though I use it most days), but this larger one is great for when I need to carry more things.
Got this backpack for traveling and its perfect as a day backpack. Storage is great.
Good for small walk or tracking

Our environmental approach
Dyeing textiles requires a lot of water and discharges wastewater into the environment. To reduce this impact, we use the following 2 dyeing processes: 1. We don't color the interior fabric. 2. We use bulk dyeing, integrating the color pigments as soon as the yarn is manufactured, for the outer fabric in black, navy blue, and blue/turquoise, references: 8529024, 8583151, and 8731516.
How is volume measured?
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standard method: We fill the main compartment, as well as each pocket, with little balls. Then we empty these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in liters.
How to adjust your backpack
1 - Loosen all the straps (straps, belt, load adjuster straps) 2 - Put on the backpack 3 - Tighten the shoulder straps 4 - Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed
How to fill your backpack
Put your heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece within arm’s reach. Place small items for daily use (sunblock, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets. The water bladder will be placed in the compartment provided along the back, and the water bottle in the outer water bottle holder pockets provided for this purpose.
Tested for durability and optimal resistance
We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag's components: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zippers. For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, colorfastness when exposed to UV light and washing, and waterproofing. We also conduct tests to check the resistance of assembly using a dummy that reproduces the movements of a hiker to replicate several years of wear and tear on the bag.
Your opinion is important to us!
Based on all your feedback, we have improved the design of our NH100 20-liter backpack. In this new model, we have improved the main zipper to make it easier to open. We have also added a compartment and a zipped pocket in the main pocket.
