How to Adjust Easyfit system :
Our patented Easyfit system allows you to adjust the height of the back and tightness of straps at the same time by pulling on a single strap (on each side). 1. Put on your bag 2. Fasten and tighten the belt 3. Pull the straps (upward) And you're done!
Review Pros :
The quality of this pack has been excellent with my use and at no point have I had any issues even when in remote areas in the middle of winter storms with very cold conditions.
Excellent price - for the money these in my opinion easily beats out lower cost backpack options such as the Teton Sports Scout 3400. Speaking of which, the Scout 3400 runs around $70 and I would highly recommend looking at this pack when compared to it; this is substantially a better product and is worth the additional dollars.
Plenty of space.
Plenty of pockets for organizing.
I like the color combination
Dedicated sleeping bag pocket with divider.
Front access is smartly designed and features dual zips which is an awesome idea; you can unzip from the bottle without having to detach the lid. Zippers are very secure; have never opened on their own.
Includes a rain cover - gray, not brightly colored?
The gray color is neutral and therefore uses less dye. The component is made of BITON: this process allows us to lower our carbon footprint and reduce the consumption and water pollution in comparison to the colored models. These small measures demonstrate the commitment of Forclaz to improve the environmental impact of its products.
10 Year Warranty
Excellent adjustment system - fully adjustable in every way that a user would want.
Slanted water bottle pocket - easy to access and easy to put your water bottle back into.
Good size hipbelt pocket - it’s actually usable and is fairly large. Large enough to hold even a large size phone
Review Cons :
My only real con for this backpack is slight and deals with the harness padding; it has taken roughly 3 good hiking adventures for it to soften up; initially it was firm and rough...noticeably rough.
Summary :
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. As I mentioned before, it is better...substantially better than lower cost options such as the offerings from Teton Sports. When you compare the two packs, it is a night and day difference in terms of feel; the materials are strong, the pack is better made, it’s a smarter design that feels unique where as most of the products from Teton Sports for example feels copied and pasted from many other companies.
All in all, I’m very impressed with this pack and it is one that I would have no problem grabbing for just about any trip. It’s not the lightest backpack but it is feature rich, well thoughtout and comfortable. The EasyFit suspension is excellent and actually works and it doesn’t cost you any time to make adjustments.

I like how "Agenda Free" also means "Not only expensive stuff" on this channel.
I'm a big fan o decathlon, I think they have some gear that is very good for the price.
For most of the gear I've seen/used, you pretty much get what you pay for. But there are some outliers, in either direction.
Most of my starting gear was from decathlon and some of it is still in my rotation.
Nice one Luke!
I think there are always outliers on the high price side. Very, very seldom do you get what you pay for when you just buy the most expensive product. Almost always is there something just as good or better for less.
Currently Out of Stock!
I looked at many of their other product categories, and no stock, or low stock issues seem to be a general theme with Decathlon, depending upon your size.
I have six backpacks between 43 and 60 liters, plus several smaller day packs, or hydration type of backpacks.
Some are higher priced like the Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60, which I purchased on sale for around $200.
Most of my other backpacks were purchased in the $50 to $120 range, from companies like Gregory, and Kelty.
I keep trying to find the perfect backpack, and it seems the closest that I have gotten are the packs that have adjustable torso length, and harnesses like the Decathlon.
That would be my Gregory Stout 45, which I really like, and the Kelty Redwing 50, which is a little heavy, and though adjustable, the torso length adjustment does not seem as simple as the Decathlon 70.
I would like to try the Decathlon 70, but it seems quite heavy, so that is my only real caveat now.
I have heard that sometimes heavy packs like the Osprey Atmos 50 which is over four pounds empty, actually feel more comfortable to catty than a twp pound pack, because of a superior suspension.
Due to what I have heard from others, the Osprey Atmos 50 is also on my radar.
I'm currently starting to test the Granite Gear and Massdrop X 60 backpack collaboration, and the Dan Durston Design and Massdrop collaboration backpack which I picked up recently for a total of $210 delivered!
So far the Granite Gear pack feels real good, but need to test under a load while walking.
Maybe this will be the pack of my dreams.
Enjoyed the review to the point of looking up the pack on their site. Not really wanting a 70L pack was ok, they're not even in stock. The 60L that was listed is in the women's format? So I seriouly eyeballed the 50L. Looked good. Waited till this morning to give it another consideration...not even on there now?! Overnight, gone. Did ask for notification on the restock, but that was on the 70L. The restock notification wasn't available for the 50L.
Is this common for the company?
Thanks for all you do with outdoor gear reviews!
Hey, can you put golden retriever inside this backpack?
I do presentations like this for a living, and it's easy to overlook just how well Luke does these reviews. He has a mastery of every little detail and that, added to his objectivity, make this channel a delight.
Decathlon is one of the best-kept secrets for quality vs. money. Well done Luke!
The secret is out. 70L and 90L Out Of Stock
Yep, sold out confirmed, smaller sizes for the girls or kids still available though
@@mbarr1029 The trek 500 is not bad as well.
@@Doile911 do you have it? I just bought it online but can't find any real review about it
@@FrancescoStasi did you like it?
I used many products from Decathlon including backpacks, boots, fleeces, trousers, jackets. Rarely do they fail.
Overall great products and great prices.
Greetings from Romania, keep up the good work Luke, I love your content!
I picked one of these up after some research (including this vid) and I have been very happy with it, I retired my main use 80L bag as a result. I didn't notice any roughness on the shoulder straps/pads, I may have been wearing a thicker shirt but there were no issues my first time out. Very comfortable even at a higher weight as I tend to use the available space and it carried everything well. I forgot about the side zip pocket when I packed it the first time and found it a good place to store many different items from empty bags (pack out garbage bag) to water bottles when I rediscovered it on the trail. The inside of the lid with the rain cover is also large enough to place some items you may be looking to protect a little more, so it really acts like another protected pocket. Very happy with this pack and the 10 year warranty made it a good safe buy. - Excellent review and recommendation, very on the nose for this product.
love Decathlon. i picked up their trek 100 down jacket. incredible value, super warm and light and packable. will be buying their bigger winter trek 900
How compact is the trek 100? I got the trek 50 because it fits into the cargo pocket of any british military smock, or comercial lookalike. On the other pocket lives a buff, a pair of thin liner gloves, a beanie, and a neck tube (everything inside ziplock bags).
@@VictorGarciaR I'll use the universal measure for backpackers, and say that it pretty much compresses down to the size of a Nalgene bottle (same shape too) just by packing it into its own pocket. If you had a small compression sack, you could get it smaller, but I really hate to force things with products like that. Base layers? Press away bc I can find decent ones for $10. The $80 for this one is great, but you still don't want to be buying a new one every year because of abuse.
Also, despite what the size chart says, pretty much just order the size you usually order. I'm about 58" around the shoulders, so I wanted to err on the side of caution and went with the 2XL (US) size. I would have been fine with just an XL, which is my usual. When you're thick, though, you always worry a bit.
@@VictorGarciaR very compatible. Small as maybe a cantaloupe. Absolutely love it. Folds into its left pocket. Always in my pack
@@cobbler88 an absolute great example. Just about that size!
@@OutNaturing I've come to find that the Nalgene standard of measure is where metric, imperial and customary hikers seem to converge in a common language. ;)
Thanks to your video about this backpack I bought one!! Already did more than 30 miles with it! I'm loving it!
They have a very good range on prices for all their packs. From bare bones starter gear to more high end technical side. I've been using their 20Lt hiking pack for about 3 months and have about 150km on it in all kinds of Weather with zero issues. I look forward to seeing you review more of their gear.
I've obviously come to this two years later than the other viewers - but bought one the same day i saw your video and it is my best backpack ever (in 55 years of backpacking). Thank you
Best independent review channel out there. I always check out your gear reviews before buying. No personal preference BS, just the facts. Thank you for being the place to go to for straight to the truth answers. As a grumpy ole’ bastard that’s been hitting the less beaten path since the 1960s I bow to your heartfelt honesty.
happy new year all! as an european im so glad decathlon, is now in us. in this way, i can get honest review by by Luke on their gear. was always wondering how those brands he mentions compare to what i usually buy. thank you for this review
I bought this one and it is my first backpack like this so I was unsure if it was a good pick. But thanks to your review I am now happy that I bought it and feel comfortable it will be a good companion at my trips. Thank you!
Hey there Luke,
I am very surprised you guys have Decathlon in the States, I thought it's a predominantly EU oriented merchant. They have the best of quality/price products and I really like them. The Solognac hunting line has so many versatile and amazing clothing / boots / packs that I prefer for Bushcraft and Hunting and are quite affordable/durable. One pack I think you would really dig is the 50l+10l Forclaz TREK 900 SYMBIUM, it has everything I am looking for in a pack and more, in the perfect ~60l versatile size (4 season all around). So happy you are doing reviews on their products, they are worth it.
I wish you all the best to you and yours in 2021!
Greetings from Bulgaria.
Strength and Honor!
This is an amazing review, I wish I would have gotten this instead of my Teton 4100. If only this would have come out a month sooner, but none the less I will be purchasing it!
I heard about this pack and the apparel offered by Decathlon by surfing throughout You Tube. Apparently the company is well renown throughout Europe, Malaysia, South America and several other countries around the world. I bought a jacket from a FB source and discovered it is a Decathlon product. I paid 50 bucks for it and I can't compliment it enough for its performance and packability. The retail price was $139 I believe as the price was displayed with a line through it. Your review certainly confirms the fact the QA system at Decathlon is doing its job. Nice looking backpack and at 70 liters would be great for winter backpacking. Thanks for the review, Luke.
U can get lots of decathlon stuffs in singapore cheaper but the range is not as wide as most European countries.
Now re-branded to the "MT-100" I believe- just bought one and confirm it is amazing value for money.
I remember when Coleman offered their Peak line of upgraded products in the early 90s. When looking for packs for my kids in scouts I remember them having a similar pack and thought why doesn't everyone have the zipper down the center.
Decathlon is my ( not so ) secret weapon when shopping for gear like this
My daughter got me a Teton Oasis day pack for Christmas. The moment I put it on, I was like.... YES! It just fits me perfectly. It’s high on my back and comfortable. I’ve done a lot of hiking and I’m excited to hit the trail with this pack. I had been trying on day packs for months and, I was ready to buy, but nothing fit like this one.
Just got mine today, will be using it on my channel soon when we are allowed back out to play...Very pleased with the quality...
Decatholon, the Solognac line, Some nice stuff, I’ve bought a few things from them, dog mats, under layer, tee shirt, great stuff.
Great gear from time to time in Decathlon. The top end gear is really good... However they can be in some crazy colours.
I just sent a Teton 60L back because I couldn’t get a good fit and the adjustment buckles kept slipping. Might have to give this one a go.👍👍
U sold me on this when u first put the video out I got a email when it came back in stock I just ordered it cant wait to try it out this spring
Put me down in the "Yep, I love me some Decathlon" group: and I swear that some days my ENTIRE outfit, from undies to hat, is from Decathlon :-) It's great to see their gear featured on TOGR, thanks, Luke (I understand they've finally crossed the pond and are opening up stateside?).
I first went into one of their big box sports stores in France about 20 years ago and my mind was blown - they have everything for every sport you can think of. And 1700 stores in 57 countries explains why their prices are always so competitive, they have the buying power behind them. I also like how they generally have 3 different levels of gear, with 3 different levels of specs/price, for 'beginner', 'intermediate' and 'advance', so you can choose just how much into a sport/activity you are. And as they're French they're big on cycling gear, which is just great for me; I would say they're the most popular bike clothing company in the world, definitely in Europe, wherever I go I always see people on bikes dressed head-to-toe in B-Twin gear (their cycling brand).
I got the kids one of their tent and it survived a pretty wild storm does need one extra tie off on 3 sides be bomber then 27 euros
I like that pack I may have to find one of them asap it may be the replacement of my alice pack thanx for this one the price is really good
Gee Luke thanks, I bought the Teton because of you! Just kidding, I did make the choice after your review and it works for the reasons why I purchased it. Three years later something else comes out, that’s the way it goes. Great thorough review as usual. Thanks for both videos
Decathlon gear is great. Good quality and value for money. One thing you miss out on in the US is the full range of Decathlon gear. In Europe and parts of Asia the range is much bigger. For example the ultralight tents (not available in USA) are hightly rated and budget friendly. The merino wool clothing is also great.
Really do appreciate your honest reviews. In Luke I trust.
Thank you for review. today I purchased by looking at it ( not seen it before) and I am happy to see your review.
Decathlon's website definitely needs lots of work, I hope their backpacks and customer service is of a greater caliber. If it wasn't for this honest no agenda detailed review I would never considered buying a pack from them. Unfortunately Decathlon has raised their prices since making this video and now we can get name brands for the same price and with more features. Kelty, Gregory, Have you ever reviewed the Mardingtop 75L molle tactical backpack. I'm curious to see what your thoughts are?..
Thank you
Happy Holidays
🙏✌️🤙🌏
Just dropped on one of these after mulling it over for a long time. I had some decathlon vouchers so that brought my price down too.
That is a great review! instant sub half way through the video. I was in doubt of buying this model (I was looking for something in the 50L range) but now I'm certain to buy it.
Thanks. Been in the market for a new pack. This looks good. I don't like the color, but you can't have everything....
Whereas I am aware of Decathlon after watching some E.U . backpacking , bush craft , and our door channels . I have never bought any of their products . That said , I can't remember watching a video of any of their products that got a bad review . I guess they make excellent sleeping bags & clothes , tents . It is a VERY well known name in the E.U and used by many over there .. Gubs
Oh , and the pricing is always excellent !!
Loved the review ... I want to add something ...i think there is only 1 pocket on the right side of waist belt because Decathlon sales a camera bag that can be fitted on the left side of the waist belt ...
Wow, looks feature and quality rich, even if it were a higher price.
Thanks for your outdoor gears review. I appreciate your analyse and your recommendations. 👍
I just ordered the Naturehike Opalus 2 and Forclaz 100 50L for my camp at Lake Holon because of your channel. Lake Holon is known for its wild stormy weather. I was planning on camping with my sisters soon and wanted to bring one tent with two rooms so they wouldn't have to carry anything.
Can you review the Decathlon Quechua Hoop tent - Arpenaz 4.2 - 4 Man - 2 bedrooms
What do you think the maximum number of beers you can carry in this pack would be?
Décathlon added a few stores and a distribution center in Canada in the last three years. Very good quality over all but some products are definitively on the low-end.This being said, the price in $CA is the same as in $US for the Forclaz Trek 100 70L backpack, which is odd...
Be safe, be careful and keep up your excellent work!
Well I’m impressed with the back pack I would buy oneb
Currently Out of Stock!

Maybe this will be the pack of my dreams.
I got recently few clothes for winter hike from Decathlon and the quality is awesome considering the price.
In my country this backpack is € 79,99
I purchased my Scout 3400 for $45 but I would not have purchased it for $80. This seems like a great price for this Decathlon pack. Great features for the price.
As I said on your newer video, take a look at the Berghaus Bioflex system which was in production 15 years ago, its almost identical in its adjustment, I think Teton have copied it
Please do the Decatholon Simmonds Alpinism mountaineering backpack 33l please
Thank you for the review. i was looking for a good review on this backpack.
pretty cool if i was stuck for a bag i'd get this
Nice logo song ending.... u sure u not working fo dem 😅 so much praise
I bought one of these because of this video. $120 CAD is a bargain. Only nitpicks are no bottom straps, lid can't be raised, no safety whistle buckle
Most decathlon products are great for the price, some fall short in quality. Luke, have you come across OEX equipment. Again budget outdoor gear at reasonable prices. If you something might catch your eye to test. Go Outdoors store sell a lot of their products.
S&H. Look forward to next video.
It seems very similar to a mardingtop I have the mardingtop 65 + which is an excellent backpack there are many different variations of it seems like somebody's getting fabric for super cheap and spending the time to build quality backpacks while other companies are doing mediocre backpacks at three times the price
Can you make a review of the decathlon travel 500?
Oh, the only issue is fit, if you are an XL here in USA, you have to order XXL to get that, etc
Those orange things didnt adjust the torso length - they adjusted the shoulder straps.
Got mine today (after months waiting because its always sold out)
You should check our their jackets. I have one of the trek 100 synthetic insulation ones and its great, excellent for $40. Would like to know how it compares to other jackets like the TD Downrange.
How tall are you and whats your 10/10 backpack as in rebalancing the weight? :)
The Easy Fit system sounds like Kelty's .perfect Fit
I was thinking the same thing.
Decathlon likes to copy stuff.
@@DenisSolaro More manufacturers need to do that, IMHO.
My take: Decathlon's products are of very decent - GOOD - quality, & they are very REASONABLY priced.
I believe it's pronounced 'For-clah' but not sure. In Europe, especially France and Spain, Decathlon stuff is everywhere. On the Camino 50% of the backpacks are Decathlon. They make decent stuff at a great price. I use their clothing a lot and never had a problem. Their long sleeve hiking top, windjacket and grid fleece is my standard non-summer top half. £42 for 3 pieces, I've done hundreds of miles in them. I'm a little wary of the tents and backpacks because the materials can be a cheaper and the designs often unusual, but I'd be surprised if they're not mostly functional and great value. The only problem with Decathlon is that they destroy the competition, towards becoming a monopoly in non-high end outdoor gear in parts of Europe.
So it's a Kajka that weighs 3lbs less and 200 dollars less? Haha. I found a used Kajka for about this price but good lord it's heavy. This is a hell of a bag for the price!!
I still use the backpack that I had when I was in junior high school it's an old canvas JanSport.. LOL. The thing is dirty it's old it has been battered but it's still in one piece.. well almost I did patch a small hole that was in the side of the pack LOL.. this thing has taken quite a beating
I had a JanSport backpack that lasted for many many, years... not sure if that brand is even still around?
@@johndoe-lr9if I think I have seen the JanSport just not like what I have it's not nearly as strong.. prophetic stuff made out of parachute material. That nylon stuff.. it was not made out of canvas like mine is.. I guess the company just slid not in a good way either
@@karenlee3372 Yea the stuff they make too good: cars, shoes etc... always goes down hill in quality because they don't sell anymore :D I think I first had that janSport backpack in grade school and it lasted into my 20's before it fell apart.
@@johndoe-lr9if I still have mine and it's still in pretty good shape now I did fix a small hole in the side of the pack but I still use it.. why get rid of it when it's can still be used.. I also have a larger camouflage canvas backpack that I'm going to put some other stuff in.. you just never know with the way things that are going all of the bad news.. I don't know I want to stay packed up ready to go if I have to disappear into the woods..and yes I do have some experience I've been camping ever since I was 10 years old and I got a little bit of bushcrafting experience and I'm stuck in Arkansas right at this moment
Luke would you be doing other adventure soon as for the backpack it ok
Cool vid mate. Will you ever be reviewing the treck 900? There's not many reviews online plus I'm interested to see what you make of it.
Im torn between that and the Osprey Archeon 70.
Cheers👍
I just got the 50l hope it's big enough they were out of the 70
Hi! Great review. How much carrying weight do you think it is designed for? Did the padding soft reasonably after wearing, or is it a bit uncomfortable hard even now? Thanks in advance!
sold out one day after this vid got released 😶
Not interested in the pack, but wanted to know what you were shooting with? The resolution is great.
french design, lots of experience, a good business model... these are not my favourite packs but thank god we have Decathlon! so the people that are always short of cash can enjoy the outdoors anyway!
Great review on the backpack 😎👍
Get yourself a 100 litre Snugpack Bergen 70 litre in the middle with 2×15 litre rocket pockets 1 either side in one I have my sleeping mat poncho liner & tent boots the other has my Biolte kettle & inside that the Biolte Campstove 2 unit & burn chamber the waterproof cover is an extra purchase but why would you if you have the patrol poncho? It'll keep the wearer and there pack dry.
Can check out their tents they make very reasonable price point
Did you find any safty issues while travelling like anyone opening the zippers from the back to you know to "fiddle" around in your back pack.
I am currently torn between buying this pack and the osprey kestrel
Want would you say it can carry comfortably? I am needing to pack 6 days worth of food and some items for my dog so I expect to hit 30-35 lbs total weight and will be carrying it for 7-9 hrs a day.
Luke, have you ever review any Decathlon tents?
Thanks for the recommendation Luke! Was on the hunt for a quality budget backpack for some time now. I've just ordered one for 95$ directly from Decathlon.
Btw when it comes to the load lifters I noticed that they are "customizable". You can either use the top most clicky things (just like you in the video) or there are ones lower (around when the metal starts to show). What is the purpose of setting those either to the lower or upper clickers?
Keep watching this video a year later. Might have to pull the trigger unless anyone has a better suggestion that is in this price point ?
I'd like to see a video with your thoughts and advice on pack sizing. Which size do you use in different situation? I know some of that will depend on the gear you need to or want to pack but whats a good size for a day trip? Whats good for a 1 or 2 day? What's good for 4, 5 or longer trips? Are there any general rule of thumbs?
My take: 45 liters max, no more than 9 kilos. Keep it minimal, save your back, you only have one.
I trusted you sir 🖤✌️ i am going to buy this 🤜🤛
You didn't mention the length of the hip belt. Is it adjustable?
How secure do you find the zipper at the front? Also how water resistant is the zip?
Great review. Looks like a great if heavy pack.
What do you call the big waterproof bag of clothes that you have inside the bag's main compartment? I want one is those
My adjustable suspension keeps slipping. How do I keep it locked in same position?
Great review. Nice pack!
Thx 4 this
Take a look on Solognac brand in Decathlon. Great hunting/bushcraft gear for that price. Also, it's #gruntproof 😅👌🏻
Hi! Still feel the same about this backpack after 2 years?
Does it make sounds when you hike and wear it?
I am about to buy my very first "real" backpack, and this one is in my sights. Decathlon in my (European) country sells it for only 80.00 EUR (about 83 USD).
Two others that I am considering is the "Forclaz MT500 Air" (blue colour) and the "Forclaz MT900 Symbium" (middle grey). Both are 50+10 litre, and I am wondering how big the difference between 50+10 and 70 L is.
Does anyone know the "MT500 Air" or the "MT900 Symbium"? But I guess with these two being more expensive AND smaller, the choice is easy?
Hey Luke, saw your previous Teton videos...What ever happened with the Teton / Amazon backpack endeavor, about 1 year ago. Did Teton’s co-founder ever reach out? Were there products the same?
search "Teton Sports responds"
I have not found a single pack better than the ULA Circuit. Period.
How many lb do you think it will carry tell it starts to fail and having hot spots or buckle?
On the budget side, have you looked at any Mardingtop packs?
I’m thinking of getting but torn between this version and the 90l I’ve had cheaper backpacks and they seem to not be the litre size stated and want to be able to pack my down sleeping back and one Tigris Tangram along with usual mattress and stuff is the 60l big enough for this or would you recommend the 90l version ? The main reason for me is the lifting system and comfort due to back issues when I was younger. Look forward to your feedback and support on this one.
