This Pack Should Be a Wake-up Call To Other Companies - Decathlon Trek 100 70L Backpack

Over the years, here and there I have been posting videos which go over my favorite gear and it dawned on me the other day that I haven’t done a video with that series in a long time.
Let’s Change that!
This is the Decathlon Trek 100 70L backpack and without a doubt this is one of my favorite backpacks EVER!
Why you may ask?
Great question - I have a lot of reasons why I feel that this pack is so good and I will be going over them in this video.
To put it simply, for the money, this is one of the best backpacks that I have tested and for value oriented individuals who have a budget around $100, this is the pack that I would easily recommend.
It has every feature that you can imagine, the harness system is adjustable in ways that it makes even the most advanced of systems look archaic.

Decathlon is very popular here (Belgium and the Netherlands), i often go there. Their own brands specially Forclaz and Solognac are unreal value compared to the competition. And the design team really knows their stuff! I feel like they use all of their products for a long time and try to improve on them every time. Genius store!

Haven't finished watching yet, but my son got given one of these bags over a year ago by the owner of the store he worked at (CT in Canada, to use the initials, as it's a well known automotive and sporting goods store). It was the Christmas bonus that everyone who worked there got one of these packs stuffed full of food and kit. The amount of stuff he was pulling out of his pack when he got home was phenomenal, including a 25lb turkey, and even more incredible, he said that he had no problem getting around with it on (2 buses to get home after work bc we didn't have a car at the time). We've both used it over the 18 months he's had it and it's absolutely the most comfortable pack, even when you're working with issues like I have - fibro, back injuries, etc. I was so surprised, I wanted to get one myself, but lol The boss had cleared out their entire stock. Sadly we've moved back to the UK so he doesn't work there anymore, but he's still got his pack, and uses it all the time. I would definitely recommend this pack. It's seriously good value.

Thank you for this review. Both my sons are in scouts one being a Cub about to cross and the other already in the main Scouts. They both have a different size pack for their size and have already done week long camps with them. I am one of the leaders for the pack and because our camping style is closer to car camping I have used my old military duffel bag for a lot of it. Was looking at various packs for the older style of scout camping and seeing a lot of them start at $300 plus is a problem. I have mobility problems so I know I am not doing the big hikes with them but seeing how affordable this pack is this is right down my alley as I am not investing a lot of money for something that I will not get the full use of. Also as they get bigger I can let them use it.

@pellabandgeek Жыл бұрын

I've had the forclaz 100 90L since your review a couple of years ago for the 55L because the 90 was the only one in stock. These bigger (but inexpensive) backpacks with the extra volume allow a beginner to purchase bulkier sleeping bags and other gear that may not have compression bags, which ultimately saves even more money. I got a teton sports 0 degree sleeping bag that works great for keeping warm, but it takes up a lot of space since I didn't want to spend several hundred dollars for a smaller sleeping bag. I've found that many bulky sleeping bags weigh about as much as the smaller and more expensive bags, the former just takes up much more volume, but that's not a problem when you have 90L capacity LOL

It's very funny to see an American (or I don't know but you seem american) talking about a Decathlon product, let me tell you my opinion on this company. Decathlon is a French company created in 1976, it has shops in France, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Germany and maybe others. Here in Belgium there are a lot (more than in any other country) of young folks enrolled as "scout", we have our own type of scout, it is different from other countries and it's not related to religion or some political beliefs. Every single scout of Belgium goes to Decathlon to buy his gear for the summer camp. I'm 23 and back when I was a kid they were selling low cost low to average quality gear. But now they really stepped up and they provide low to excellent quality gear and always for the lowest price. I have a similar 60L backpack from 2011, I have a tent from 2007 still using both every summer. I'm a big fan of Decathlon (even though it's a big company now). It seems that they really try to improve their products based on the feedback of their customers.

Center-zipper packs are strongly worth considering. Mystery Ranch has several sizes of center-zipper packs. Got mine in early 2020.

@mikeoverway6587 Жыл бұрын

Appreciate the review; well done! I had heard of the puffy jackets but never considered Decathlon's other stuff. This certainly has me considering the pack. Checked it out online; the 50L looks about the same, just a smaller lighter package (3.5lb), possibly more in my desired size range. The air 50+10 is also a very interesting option (3.7lb). "Just about every feature you can image, including features you don't commonly see on backpacking systems." I would point out these missing items: dual hip belt pockets (the air pack has them), dual angled water storage pockets, balanced top loading side pockets, exterior rear mesh pocket (the air pack seems to have an exterior rear pocket, but not mesh), 2nd horizontal strap across shoulder straps (for additional securing of bladder straw, possibly other uses, as seen on the air pack), the description says "ventilated back", I presume this to be due to the separation of upper on lower back supports. However, this is not the same as the 'trampoline' or mesh supports seen on the air 50+10 (or some osprey packs, among possibly others). Final and largest concern, the website does not seem to list, or at least not easily noted, the min/max torso lengths. As a way above average height individual, I push the upper limits for gear length. It would be nice to know the max without reaching out to the company. For the bulk of people, along with the 50L and the air 50 +10, these seem like really nice durable options.

@goldrosinchen7652 Жыл бұрын

That's all true ... I have the Forclaz MT500 air 50+10l (for men though I'm a woman) since about one year and I am beyond happy with it!!! It's sooooo comfy to carry with up to 15kg and the trampoline netting in the back makes a real difference on hot summer days!

During the first couple of years when COVID19 hit, there were tons of travel restrictions, you could not just hop on a plane so people started finding other ways to spend their vacations. In Canada, we saw a HUGE influx of campers, you could not reserve most of the time cause the campsites were full for the year! My point is this, since COVID, camping supplies and merchandise has skyrocketed in price, double, triple and even quadrupled in some cases here in Canada. It is so nice to see a manufacturer offer a quality product at such a reasonable price-point. Other companies need to smarten up. Over the years, I have become a TRUE TETON Sports fan-boy. I recently bought a new tent, the MOUNTAIN ULTRA 3-PERSON TENT (plenty of room for me, my gear and never a leak or drop in it) and this I use for my Kayak adventures with my friends. the ALTOS 0 DEGREE DOWN-FILLED MUMMY SLEEPING BAG (more than enough warmth on cold fall nights) and the TETON Sports Explorer 4000 backpack (my old pack was finished). I LOVE TETON Sports products, for the price, the quality of material and craftsmanship, I don't think anyone else can come close. This looks like a great bag and I am kinda pissed that I didn't see it sooner cause like you, I am not a HUGE fan of multiple pockets, I prefer one large space. BUT hey, it is what it is and I am happy with it but KUDOS to Decathalon, I hope other companies follow! And as always great review bro, I rely on these to keep me informed so keep up the good work, you are appreciated!

After seeing the review for this backpack a year ago or something I got it last august. (To be more accurate the 50L version) This backpack is so great. It's only the 50L version and I can fit in clothes, water, food, for not only me but my also my 2 dogs, camera, camera equipment, a full emergency pack, has an easy access to get to everything fast.. I strap all the dog stuff I need on the outside and am good to go. Only downside I have (with mine at least) is the weight it can carry. It's not getting uncomfortable at all, however it seems like the bands loosen up fast and I have to rearrange them every other km. Nonetheless, if you are on a budget or even not and just want to make a really good deal I tell you, get that backpack.

On the 65 mile trek I left base camp with a pack weight of 62 lbs and returned with 49. I have used it on weekend hikes at least once a month until 2014. It has shown no signs of failure so far. If it ever fails, it is good to know about packs like yours so I could replace it with a budget. I probably will never carry 62 lbs. into the woods any more because of my age.

I've added this to my wishlist. For now I'm very happy with my Mardingtop 75L, but I will definitely consider this. I wish it was available in other colors, but I could always put a cover on it if I want to make it less obvious. I also wish it had MOLLE on the back of it; being able to add external pouches is useful at times. For now, my Mardingtop pack is roomy, comfortable, and allows a good degree of flexibility in use. I have three of their packs, and while I agree with Luke's assessment that the 60L pack is not very good, the other two, the 40L and 75, have been great for me (I use the 40L as a general use / laptop bag).

I've had the backpack 2years now perfect for what I need but not out that often maybe 7 times a year but still going strong

I have the 50L. version, it is a great backpack, the adjustment is awesome, altough i don't use that much since I tend to day hike more than backpacking, but still, when i use it it rocks

I got mine last year as a stopgap before getting my "dream pack." Never got the dream pack, still using this instead, pretty happy about it.

Glad I saw this. Just about to buy a Tetron pack. This seems the ticket. I don't have a quality pack, never have. $ not so much an issue but I don't like to waste it either. Thanks for the update. Safe travels. Fall is coming with lower humidity then snow. Yeah boy. From the hill's of east KY. Take care.

Decathlon is very popular in China. As a junior hiking enthusiast, I bought Decathlon hiking shoes, trekking poles, pants and MT500 backpack. but the backpack in vid seems to lack the ropes that can fix the trekking poles. I took these equipments to the poster 3200m and saw the golden sunrise of Gongga Mountain 24,790 ft（日照金山).I will remember this view all my life！！！

I got this back pack based on the first review video as a new back packer it has been great for me

@richardkramer1094 Жыл бұрын

My packs are Mystery Ranch packs and both use the same frame so I have one frame for both packs. I’m a big game hunter and I need a space to carry meat out of the backcountry, a meat shelf. This pack looks similar to my Pintler but has the capacity of my Metcalf….but no meat shelf or any other way to carry meat. I also prefer and external frame.

decathlon is also very popular for doing day hikes and trail runs. all my kit are from there and they really have good value products.

I might have to pick one of these up, the one I have now is too small for winter backpacking trips in order to fit my lower temp bag in it, thanks Luke! P.S. when I used the link in your thread their site also popped up a 10% off my first item purchased coupon if I gave them my email, which would bring it down to $108.

Comment 1:Hey Luke! I totally understand your struggle with finding a backpack that can accommodate your lower temperature bag for winter trips. It can be frustrating when the one you have is too small. By the way, I came across a new project called the Morph 2-in-1 eBike by freebeat. It's not related to backpacks, but it's interesting to see how technology is advancing in different areas. One of the outstanding features of the Morph eBike is its indoor recharge capability, which is pretty unique. Just thought I'd share in case you're interested in exploring new innovations. Keep adventuring! 😄Comment 2:Hey there, fellow backpacking enthusiast! I read your comment about needing a larger backpack for winter trips, and I feel your pain. It can be challenging to find the perfect fit. On a different note, have you heard about the Morph eBike by freebeat? They've developed an e-bike that can be used both indoors and outdoors. It's pretty cool how it's designed for fitness and environmental sustainability. Plus, it has an indoor recharge feature, which is pretty convenient. Just thought I'd share since we're all here discussing outdoor gear. Happy exploring! 🏕Reply 1:Hey Luke! Totally get what you mean about needing a bigger backpack for winter trips. It's crucial to have enough space for all your gear. By the way, I came across a fascinating project called the Morph 2-in-1 eBike by freebeat. Although it's not directly related to backpacks, it caught my attention. It's an e-bike that can be used both indoors and outdoors, and it even has an indoor recharge feature. Pretty innovative, don't you think? Keep up the adventurous spirit, my friend!Reply 2:Hey Luke! I hear you about needing a larger backpack for winter backpacking trips. It's always a challenge to fit everything you need. On a different note, have you heard about the Morph 2-in-1 eBike by freebeat? It's an exciting new project I came across, and it's pretty unique. Not only can it be used both indoors and outdoors, but it also has an indoor recharge feature. Thought you might find it interesting since we're all gear enthusiasts here. Stay warm out there, and happy trails! 🚵‍♂️

I got this pack after your review (I actually got 2 of em), and I love em, great value !! The 70 L is a bit overkill for me though , so I mostly use the 50L .

@marcvincentapatan5302 11 ай бұрын

I have thr 50L version of this. But I find it kind of heavy. Used it for minor hike only. Will try it out in a major climb soon.

excellent video. I cant justify purchasing another backpack when I have an old Black Diamond 65L and an Osprey Atmos AG 65, but if I did I would look into this pack.

I ordered the SmartDevil fan last night, upon your recommendation, of course. I live in Winston Salem and my daughter and I desperately needed a fan a few weeks ago camping the Yadkin River at the base of Pilot Mountain. Thank you so much, for all that you do.

I'm getting a second one. Packs a lot of punch for such a small fan.

Yeah the SmartDevil fan is perfect on low setting, the mounts are a little fragile if you drop it but I expect that for the price
