Product Customer Reviews
I did the third trip, the Camino de Santiago, with the 40L Decathlon Travel 500 backpack and it was incredible. It is robust, comfortable and very well designed for those who travel for several days carrying everything on their backs. The suitcase-style access makes organization much easier, and the compartments are functional and useful – a protective rain cover that also served to protect/transport the sleeping bag. The volume of this one can be a problem. The Decathlon quality is very evident and during the trip and in various conditions it did not show any signs of wear. Great quality/price ratio.
the best backpack ever for traveling. Large hand luggage size (trolley) but capacity for long trips. We did a month with it without problems
Nice compact yet spacious
comfortable, quite resistant and very roomy

I really liked this backpack! The coolest thing was that you could organize everything very well in the bag, so all your belongings were in order and easy to find. The only thing I thought could be better is that the bag felt a little heavy when empty. The inner compartments could also be a little deeper to have more space for your belongings. However, I would definitely recommend this bag to others! It is very practical and looks good too. I used it on my trip to Tenerife, and it survived all four flights without any problems. I could be sure of my belongings, because the bag is durable and high-quality. Plus, I didn't have to worry about rain, because the bag has water-repellent material and even a special rain cover! Overall, the price corresponds to the quality, I would even say that it is very good. The seams, fabric and zipper are of high quality and will probably last for many years! If you plan to fly, use it as hand luggage, you can't rely on these dimensions, all my flights were successful, but the last one made me check if the dimensions match, everything was compactly packed in the bag, so good luck!
The number of pockets and gadgets exceeded expectations. The cherry on the cake was the included rain cover.
Very practical and comfortable, the compartments allow for effective storage! You can carry the essentials for a week of travel! I recommend it.

Very happy with this backpack, nice design, comfortable & ideal with the layout!
The waist belt does not support the lower back correctly, not correctly transferring the load to the hips...
I bought it for both my son and myself. We will both use it for a 1-week trip this summer. Let's see.
Great backpack with its dimensions and layout, as hand luggage for the plane and for small hiking. Easy to carry thanks to the hip belt. Great compartment for a PC.
Very comfortable, well-proportioned bag for storing your belongings. To be completed with the set of 3 covers.
Excellent as a travel backpack with organizers where you can store your stuff in an "organized" and stable way. The containment nets make sure you can contain everything and the various sizes of the compartments divide what you want to carry in the right way, always knowing where to find what you put in the backpack without. Excellent book opening. But let's get to the 2 substantial flaws: 1) the waist belt for the lumbar support of the backpack, sewn to the backpack itself. I would have preferred it to be removable, fixed with Velcro and, if necessary, to be removed to have a more compact backpack with fewer fluttering appendages. I think it could be unstitched and fixed by a good tailor but the expense would be high and it would not be worth it. 2) lack of a compartment with zip pockets to store cables, glasses, cell phone or power bank and other small accessories useful for a trip, an accessibike compartment via a zip through which to access a container of smaller but useful objects quickly, when you are in the waiting room at the airport for example and you are looking for a cable or glasses. Last but not least, I would have also appreciated some "D" rings, some nylon loops through which to pass a carabiner to attach shoes or slippers or even a neck support when you sleep sitting down on the plane... In short, practical stuff that is always useful for those who really travel. Decathlon, I hope you will take the points exposed as suggestions to improve this excellent backpack and bring it to version 2.0

How to adjust your backpack?

Protect your bag in the rain
The backpack has a rain cover to protect the contents of your bag when it rains.
How to maintain your travel 500 backpack
- Empty the bag completely- Remove the foam and frames from your backpack if possible and if you are sure you are able to put them back again afterwards- Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust from the bag and the zips- Put the bag in a bath, shower or a wash basin- Use a stiff-bristle brush or a sponge if you have a small backpack- Wash the bag with soapy water and scrub any stains.
