Without a doubt the best review I've seen on this pack, and mate you didn't say a word but explained everything. One of the biggest problems with so many of the Decathlon reviews is language, but as I said, you said it all without saying a thing, and you also packed your actual camping gear ripper review and so bloody well organised. Mate this was 2 thumbs up and 10 out of 10.

Hello, I am writing from Turkey. This was the best bag review video I've ever watched, man, thank you.

Thanks for review. Just picked one of these up - second hand but never been used - for £20. Happy days! Looking forward to trying it out.

Great review. I was on the fence but I really like all of the features. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for this great review, nicely explained and demonstrated. also the fitting. So helpful thanks mate

Thank you so much for doing this review. Saved me some time in looking for a new backpack!

Great video, perfect review. Keep going.Tks 👏

Excellent video! This was very helpful

Wholesome review. Appreciate it.

I bought this bag today I am looking forward to go hiking with it nice video thx

Fantastic video helped me a lot hope it’s treating you well

Good video, think I will go for this. Bottle holder reminds me of my ancient Pro-action hiking bag I used when I was in scouts. Did a good leg of walking with no hydration because I couldn’t reach the bottle, I thought I had dropped it, weren’t till I set up camp I found it!

Amazing review! Thank you :)

Great review.... Looks good 👍

I bought this backpack today and it's my first good quality hiking backpack. I hope I will not be regret about it and thank you for that video I've learned something from you.

The outdoorgearreview channel gave it a massive thumbs up two days ago. He was very impressed with it all the features including zips and back adjustment. He said it was the best back adjustment he ever saw on a pack. So you picked wisely

Good review! Thank you.

Great video sir

nice presentation, thanks a lot 😀

Looks the biz 👌 all the best mate.

Another fan of Decathlon. We found them years ago in France and now in UK albeit only England!

Great video Adam. I down sized my 3 season setup not too long ago (you can see the system on a test walk on my channel), but have yet to test it out in anger due to my ankles flaring up on that walk, and I haven't been out since. Now sat with my ankle on a stool following key hole surgery on Wednesday. Not had a pint in a week (due to the meds) and gagging for a swift one. All the best.

Good review

I just came across your channel and the name is so funny. I'm 51, so I totally get it. I started hiking again at 48 or so. Also, I think that the biggest signs of a midlife crisis probably is calling it that. At 50, I'd be lucky to be halfway!

Great video man. Keep up the good job

I got it two days ago, went for camping yesterday with it, jsut got home as I had to go to MRI scan but backpack is just giving me more and more trust in it. I loaded 18kg and it kept great, nothing loose, it feels great, no backpain although I didn't hike for years and I had a big steep hills yesterday to hike over. 5 miles hike but I would notice something already. Padding is just I like it, not too soft or firm and flexible. Adjusting it is easy as it can be. Everuthing is just so good I can't believe. My main concerne was a big zipp in front but it is sturdy af. Side pockets are great. Had a bigger sleeping bag and a mat and still has space in bottom compartment for a pillow and ultralight jacket. Pocket on a side I use for holding peperspray and one on a chest straps. I didn't have trekking poles but tent poles attached to designated place and kept them firm and not loose at all. I was testing big tent for a car travel so I mounted other part on a top and didn't throw me off balanve at all. Bottle pocket is something game changing, so so so easy to reach for bottlle, no shoulder cramps. 10/10 honestly, for that much money and what you got and how it performs

Looks good mate, love a bargain! Stay safe next week and on the pesky few night shifts between now and then!

Thanks Adam, the pleasure reading your review is all mine, absolutely spot on. Of course i can't divulge the pack I'm going to buy next :

Now I wonder if your knees are going to love you for it Adam? I'm certain they'll know. Great sack mate. You've sold it to me. All the best on that hike. Mark

This was excellent. Thank you for sharing. Just subscribed to your channel.

great video. thanks

Another good video, i always enjoy viewing them especially the wales trip and various trails, Tissington etc I appreciate all the effort you put in to make them detailed and informative plus the filming is always brilliant, well done and good luck, Tom

Hello my friend ! you made a nice review here , quite interesting ! As a frenchMan, I am delighted to see how the brand is increasingly recognized for its quality equipment at reasonable prices, all around the world . ( have a look on the ESCAPE 500 BAGPACK) Honestly the treck 100 this bag is a bang ! 70 € here .. 1/2 of an osprey or deuter bagpack , with maybe a little bit less of confort. Oh and btw, we say "forcla" : it's a city in the high alps , not so far from Annecy .its a branch of decathlon, specialized in trekking and alpinism. take care !

10 KG is really good, especially with food and water on board, Now ya getting the hang of it. I scaled down my bike packing kit by doing the 2 back panniers only plan. If it don't fit in it, it doesn't come with me. I'm quite a fan of decathlon, iv'e only bought a few things from em so far. A pair of lightweight trousers that can pack down to a size of a beer can. And a helium pillow(big up) Love that thing. There clothing range is really good, and way cheaper than the rest. Good luck on your trip.

I'll do the tour de mont blanc with my wife in july so we need to get backpacks, thanks for this review! we'll choose this model, it seems to offer a good balance price/quality

I think you've got yourself a bargain for £50 Mate. Looks very good and from the vid just the perfect size. Looking forward to seeing this one in action on a vid very soon. 👍

Thank you for your well done review. I recently got the 70L version. Everything seems great just noticed there is a space area where my back doesn’t touch the backpack. Is this normal for telling backpacks? Just curious if that lack of support causes any back discomfort? Thank you.

Good honest review let us know how it performs in real life. Denise☺

Looks just the ticket what I'm looking for as well , love decathlon as well, spend hours when I get to go to one, same deal with wife and ikea😄 there gear is great, good quality and good price. Hopefully it does you well.

I like a browse of Decathlon too! We'll see how that goes in a few days :) PS. dehydrated food weighs a lot less!

First video of yours I’ve stumbled across. Subscribed : ) interested to see more of that little collapsible light if you have features it anywhere?

Very thorough review, was great to watch you pack as I'm new to all of this so learnt about packing aswell as the bag. Think the womens version will be the one I get as my first backpack for no more than 2 or 3 nights at a time. Currently wondering if I will be able to carry this much weight 😄.

i think im getting this one :).thanks

Great review. I am really interested in the Rook 50 for my first backpack, as osprey’s antigravity system seems really good. I wondered if you missed it when you moved away from your rook 65 or if it’s a bit of a gimmick? Ideally I would of liked a pack with a bit more features, like deep side pockets, a stuff pouch on the front of the bag etc, so just checking alternatives before I pull the trigger.

❤️

I just ordered this pack. Looks better than I expected. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Thank you for the great review. Are the aluminum stays removable (for washing and packability)?

This video really helped! Thanks alot man. What are your thoughts now after using this backpack? I'm concerned about the front access middle chain... Is it safe/strong?

Decathlon is typically my plan one for gear. If I find something better elsewhere and an willing to spend more, I will, but often, they hit the sweet spot for me.

Hello man, nice review, this is the same as the MT100 Easyfit 50L?, is another name for same backpack?

Does the Decathlon store have a sale like many stores just after Christmas. Quite fancy paying a visit to the store near me ... not that near really after 🎅 has given me some 💰

Hey man great review, thanks for putting it together. One question I'd have now that you probably used it even more is : how reliable is that main zipper in terms of durability? I never used a system like this before and am concerned it might eventually fail during a hike leaving the bag useless to old my stuff. Esp due to the fact it can also be zipped from the bottom up.

Nice review. I don't think I could trust that zip in the back, get to the top of a mountain and wonder why me pack feels so light :)

Is there too much difference between this model and the tour lite 40+10 from Deuter?

Seems to me there is still plenty of space! Come winter it will be full. Was not a light pack but value for money. Decathlon a good place for bargain hunting and beginners. Agree on the bikes.

I still don't understand what to do with the orange things! You simply tuck them away? You seem to have adjusted them for a second there, but I couldn't understand it. Never had a backpack like this, and so this sort of adjustment is new to me :)

Are the metal bars removable and then wash it in machine?

Do you think the harness is not too narrow? I was thinking about a similar backpack (75-liter version) and it seemed to me that the shoulder straps narrow too quickly from the top.

i wonder... where do you put the tent there?

Once you have the backpack on and tighten up the shoulder strap system does it stay locked or do you have to adjust it each time you put the bag on?

Is there any way to lock the bottom zipper at all? Thinking of getting the 70L but it'll have to go on a plane and knowing how they handle luggage it will just open if I don't lock it.

This or a 50L Rook? thanks! :)

there was still plenty of room to pack 2-3 sets of clothes as well right? Fleece pants/jackets etc Im in doubt if i should get the 50L or 70L version of this bag for 2-5 day trekkings. I think 50L should do fine

nice review .. how is that central zip holding up? .... would be very interested to here your thoughts 18-ish months on.

Hi Adam. Thanks for the helpful review. You tipped the scales for me and I'm going to order this bag to give it a shot. In your video you also mention a collapsable (& utterly brilliant) USB tent light. Which light is this?

HI, i found this channel during searching for Forclaz Treck 100 Ruck sack review. Great content. May i ask, how height (cm/inch) you sir ? still thinking to get this 50l version or 70l version. thanks.

Aaand remember,the bigger the backpack,the more you carry.Its really,that simple.

I want a backpack for a 2-4 days hiking trips and I have the Salewa Denali II 2 tent(Pack Dimensions: 47 x 20 x 14cm). Osprey Talon 42L(69x 31x 27cm) is fine for me, but due to the cost I find that one as a very good option. But and the dimensions of Forclaz trek 100 50L, are 58 x 26 x 26 cm and I'm not sure that it will work for me. On the other hand Osprey's backpack is 6 liters smaller than this one, so Forclaz will meet me requirements. What is your advice?

That central zip makes me nervous. That thing faulters or gets caught mid trip, shits going everywhere & no "fail safe". I am intrigued of the easy fit system though but that zip has me hesitating. What are your thoughts on it?

l am about to buy this or other model, Are there zips round the side to get into the main compartment as only see access to main compartment fromt eh central zip and the hole at the top

Do you suggest this one instead of the classic mh-500? I prefer this one of the video at a first view, but I don't understand why it looks more complete and it cost less 🙄🙄😅 what I am missing?

Just love your handle, mid life crisis is where I am at too ..looking forward to learning more from you..if there's is a way to connect I'd love to, I'm in India 🇮🇳

Does it make noises when you hike? And, Does the flap on the top extendable?

The only downside here is the zipper in the front that hold the large area. Hope it last. Great Video!

Can be fit inside a fresh & black 2P tent if i separate poles and fold tent clothes

What do they mean by compatible with 2 7L 1/2 Moon storage bags? Where do those go if you buy them?

Is it still comfortable for taller guys? I am 188cm

I like the 70 litre one......but can't justify it at the moment. Superb value. Thats a nice little "review", thank you. The only slight concern I might have would be with that otherwise excellent back zip. It needs some sort of flap, and/or a tensioning strap across ??

6 mins later am still waiting for him to talk about the bag

Start from 6:38

How many days did you pack for? Because that food... that’s what I eat in half a day when hiking!!! I have a Decathlon backpack as well (among others). For the price I think there’s nothing wrong with them. It’s a shame sometimes how even grown ups who really should know better get brand washed and go for the name brand even if they know it’s snobbery. The one I have is perfect for traveling as it fits in the overhead compartment in aircraft cabins if you take the brain off. Well thought through for that... and I still did a few three nighters with it with about 45km a day. Wasn’t perfect for that but still better than some other packs that people drag around on the trail. The only thing I try to do nowadays is to find manufacturers who don’t exploit their workers. Not the ones in the retail stores, in the e-stores and not in the factories in the low labor cost markets. And even though Decathlon has moved into the right direction here quite a bit in the last few years, they are still far from fair and have little control over where what fabric or material is coming from. I’m willing to spend some more on a backpack now if a company can convincingly say they are trying to eliminate child labor and produce in countries where minimum safety standards are in place. Fjållråven or Patagonia are of course also trying to make a profit, and Wisport is only assembling in Europe - but it still gives me a better feeling. Good video!

The only real issue I've had with this rucksack so far is the water holder.

Does it fit as a carry on suitcase in the airplane? Thanks?

I got the 70 liter version of that bag xD hello weight xD

sad it's only available in black.

And that's without using the top straps and barely using the side straps...Impressive, I guess most people carry a bag that's too big.
