great review, I appreciate that you use metric too, thanks man. I think I'll go for the 23L, I have a short trip planned next week and my backpack (North Face Recon) is definitely bigger than the personal item size for RyanAir. I have used it as such but I also had bought the 2nd cabin bag option so maybe they didn't care that much those times. Plus it will "force" me to pack lightly, it should be enough for a 7 day trip, right?

@PackingLess Жыл бұрын

Thanks glad to help. In terms of packing enough, I have previously travelled months on a 20L backpack so I think the 23L would be more than enough but it does require taking versatile clothes, layering warmer clothes and being prepared to wash clothes while travelling, whether in a dry bag or in the sink.

@ebermtheburn 6 ай бұрын

My master traveler friend is just fine with 20L for 7 days, 23L is probably more than enough.

I've buy the 23 L version, the blue one. I like how they design the compartement, especially with the side pocket that fits water bottle and keep it safely. but I still thinking how strong this bag is, because there's no specification for the maximum load (kgs). and the strap doesn't comes in bartack sewing, so I assumed it will be broken easily if we carry overweight things...

I guess thats because the roll top can be unrolled a bit to fit things in that rolled space. I'll put it on my 'to do' list

Affordable price & great warranty that's a plus point. Like what u said, need grab handle. I second that but i would also like to add for attachment straps & load adjuster. Believe me when i tested this with its full capacity, it is quite heavy & the bulkiness makes me look like a ninja turtle. If only there is strap to make the bag more compact i think that is better.

Yeah 32L (black one) would be a bit big for a daily bag, they also have a 16L version (which isnt available in Australia so I havent tried it yet) but that would be a better daily size. There is also a 23L (blue one) roll top version which you can adjust how compressed it is, could also be a good option.

@Green__one Жыл бұрын

Depends on the airline, some allow a fair amount of leeway in their published sizes, but even the 23L is a hair too big to fit the official sizes, so the 32L would be really pushing it. Probably fine on a full featured airline, but the budget ones that actually make you measure will stop you every single time with the 32, and the 23 will probably depend how you pack it.

@MATonTUBE Жыл бұрын

@@Green__one "under the seat" carry on baggage for most low-cost European airlines need to be 40x25x20 max (unless you pay for the 2° cabin luggage). The only one fitting perfectly these measures is the 16 L version. The 23L is a bit off in height (46 x 28 x 22 cm), the 32l is definitely so 50 x 28 x 25 cm. I was thinking of taking the risk, and getting the 23 L myself..

@@MATonTUBE I have the 23 and love it, however I haven't been flying budget airlines. It does fit under the seat on every aircraft I've been on, but when I've actually tried it in sizing devices I have not had much success (though I have repacked it recently, and it looks a little more slimmed down now, so I'll have to try it again next time I'm at the airport). Luckily as I said I haven't been flying budget airlines, so no one's been measuring.

I tried this bag (the 32 L) at the shop, loading it with 6 kg of the "test load" decathlon provides near the backpack shelves. I have been using a fantastic 30 L Decathlon hiking backpack every day for the past 15 years, from hiking to cycling to commuting, and grocery shopping. The waist belt helped A LOT to carry the load. Now it is finally broken, so I'm shopping for something similar. I could not find anything as good and versatile as my former one. This one is really well made, but the the waist belt is more to stabilize the bag from moving around than to help with the load. If this bag is fully loaded, it will all be on your shoulders and back.

Good question, Quechua is a brand created by Decathlon, heres more info from the wiki: Quechua is the trademarked French brand for the hiking and camping apparel and equipment marketed mostly by French company Decathlon,[2] the largest sporting goods retailer in the world[3] with over 1647 stores in nearly 1000 cities in 57 countries and regions (January 2020).[4] Created as a brand in 1997 in Domancy, France, by a group of nine Decathlon employees, the group launched its first products in the spring of 1998 in all Decathlon stores, geared toward hikers and campers.[5] The brand's design center is in Sallanches, near Mont-Blanc. Its name derives from the indigenous Quechua people of the Andes and their language.

Hi, have you ever tried to do some running with it? I am looking for something to commute by way of running to work around 6 kilometers away from my flat. I need space for a 15inch laptop, its charging cable, one wireless mouse, a couple of charging cables for other stuff, one diary, a whole set of changing clothes (shirt, pants, underwear, shoes,) a small towel, some toiletry and in a bottom bit I would take my lunch box, etc. On my test run, I filled out a 25l backpack with ease and I haven't taken a laptop/electronic bits or lunchbox with me. I assume those additional 5l and bottom compartments will compensate for these items. I', concerned with the stability of the backpack. Will it jump around while I run, straps get loose hurt my back, etc. Anyone with an answer or advice I would be truly grateful if you could share with me including recommendation of r a backpack you found to be perfect for my needs.
