I bought the backpack for shorter multi-day hikes, but it also worked well on the camino. Although I would have appreciated a lighter backpack, in my opinion it is completely unbeatable for the price. It is very practical and thoughtfully designed. In particular, the slightly forward tilt of the bottle pockets makes it much easier to remove them even with a backpack on my back. The comfort of carrying is also excellent. Even with about 20kg of cargo, I had no problem carrying it all day.

I bought this bag for the El Camino. My luggage weighed 10kg including the bag, I walked in it for 3 weeks. I am completely satisfied. I am 180cm tall, so it was important to choose this model for tall people. I was able to adjust it well to my back. It is especially good that it has a built-in rain cover!

I bought this backpack with an aim for 2-3 day hikes in summer season. However, just used it for overnight backpacking in winter Sierras. And I totally happy with it. This backpack checked all the marks for me: - it's relatively lightweight but it doesn't look like cheap or flimsy. Time will show, but after 1 winter trip it looks as new. - It has good back frame and suspension, very comfortable to wear, even with a relatively heavy load. - Easy to use bottle pockets. I don't know why other brands still use `traditional` water pockets. It's so easy to grab a water bottle on the go and put it back, no need to stretch arms or take off the pack. - A front zipper and front load function. I was specifically looking for this as I planned to use the same backpack with photo storage compartment in summer time to easily access my camera. It has a J shaped zipper, which works well and opens up enough to reach to any stuff at the bottom of the pack. - Stretch front pocket worked well to hold avalanche shovel blade. And hence it's not designed specifically for that - it doesn't show any wear and tear. - It has loops at the bottom to attach your mat or whatever you want. Those loops are tiny, but will work with accessory cord or narrow straps. I used Matador gear straps and they fit flawlessly. - Many, no really, many usable pockets and attachment straps. You can use compression straps in different configuration, depends on your load and what you carry inside / outside the pack. - Built-in rain cover. I know many people prefer to use wetsacks instead, but for winter it's good to have an outside backpack shell , so that you can lie down the pack and use it as a seat, while chilling. - The price. It's really hard to beat the price for this pack. I don't know how they managed to make such a good pack for less than 100USD. I bought it even cheaper when on sale online. - Was delivered to doors in two days for free. Minor pita: - You can't remove rain-cover. It's sewed to bungee cord. But you can, of course, use scissors to solve this issue :) not a big deal for me. I read some people have issues with straps that tend to get loose over time, so you need to tight'em up again. It's difficult to say here, I personally didn't have any issues with straps, maybe Decathlon has addressed this issue, or maybe because it's still new and didn't see much of usage. I also usually do small re-adjustements every time I put any backpack on and never had any of my backpack's straps fixed for life. For reference: I'm 5'9" (175cm) and was using L size. Fits perfect. I didn't weight the load, but, as we had a winter overnight hike, I had way more stuff then usually I have in summer, including snow shoes, avalanche shovel, half of really heavy winter tent, sleeping bag, air mat and z-mat, two pots and multiple layers of clothes. Everything fit into this perfect pack. I had some space left if I want to add more. tldr; it's a perfect pack. Bravo Decathlon! you made it again

Very good

carried this on 3d2n hike in japan, walking around 3 hrs from point to point over hilly and flatter terrain, up and down buses. it was enough to carry all the clothes and gear i needed over those couple of days. as someone shorter and not terribly strong, this was a comfortable size and weight. will recommend!

I used this bag for a 1 month trip to the Philippines. Very good carrying comfort. The opening allows access without taking everything out of the bag. The rain cover is very useful to protect the bag in certain transport. No worries in hand luggage on regular flights. (

Bag recommended by a saleswoman for my multi-day hike. You can put the essentials in it without hurting your back. Too bad you can't tighten it more because for thin people it's just a bit too big but it still works.

This is my first hiking bag and I'm very happy with this purchase. There's a lot of storage and comfortable to use. I can easily access my things with side pockets and the back support is very good.

roomy, comfortable, well thought out pockets, handles

Been using 30l version for a few years, amazingly durable, incredibly good value for money. Very comfortable on me, I’m a tall woman so have size L.

Good value for money. Comfortable to wear. Closure buckles a little narrow

Good product
