The FORCLAZ 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack is one of the lightest, most budget-friendly packable backpacks on the market. FORCLAZ made lots of sacrifices to reduce the weight and costs of making this pack. We’re curious whether the price and weight make it worth it or whether we’ll miss the luxuries of offerings from brands like Matador. Let’s dive in!

External Components

The primary pack material is 100% polyester. It’s extraordinarily lightweight and has the feel of ‘90s wind pants. Ask an older family member if you weren’t alive to remember those. They probably still have theirs!

The material has a polyurethane coating on it, although it’s hard to notice that it’s there. The exterior feels like polyester, not much more. With that said, this fabric does an excellent job of keeping your gear dry. It will get wet if you get dumped on, yet it will weather the storm in most conditions.

Since it’s a packable bag, it stays wrinkled for a while, creating pools for water to hang out if you get caught in the rain. Once you’re out of it, give the pack a shake to eliminate any water pooled in nooks and crannies created by wrinkles.

There are only two zippers on this pack—both from KCC. We don’t have much experience with KCC zippers, though they feel adequate. As we continue to test this pack, we’ll update the Usage Timeline below if we have any issues.

The pull on the main compartment zipper is a paracord-like material knotted at the end. It’s easy to grab onto in all weather conditions and doesn’t add much weight to the pack.

We’ve got the Black colorway on hand, and at the time of writing, there’s a Purple colorway available too. FORCLAZ is a Decathalon product, and we’ve noticed that their options and colorways change frequently, so it’s worth checking back to see what’s available.

There’s a black FORCLAZ logo on the front of the pack. It’s secured with a few thread stitches and looks a little DIY. We dig the look, though it might not be for everyone.

Forclaz 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack Detail

Apart from that, there isn’t much happening on the exterior of this backpack. There are no water bottle pockets, external compartments, or loops to attach gear. It’s as simple as it gets and comes in at just 1.6 ounces to make up for it. This thing is wicked light, and we’ll get into how packable it is in a moment.

Forclaz 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack Side By Side

The shoulder straps on this pack are basic. There’s no padding, aeration, sternum strap, or attachment loops—it’s just a double layer of the thin exterior pack material.

When you cinch the pack tight, there’s a fair amount of leftover strap material. There aren’t any strap keepers, so it just blows in the wind.

The adjuster stays put reasonably well while you’re wearing the pack, although we’ve noticed it moving around a bit when you put on or take off the bag, especially when carrying heavier gear.

Forclaz 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack Side Outdoor

The back panel is just as simple as the shoulder straps. There’s no padding, no aeration, and no channels for airflow. Whatever you put inside the back becomes the back panel, so we recommend putting flat, soft items on the back side to ensure your carry is comfortable.

The pack is comfortable, like feathers, when empty or filled with lightweight gear. Once you get into medium weight, the shoulder straps start to dig in slightly. For most uses, it is a comfortable-enough carry. We’ll get into that shortly, though.

Inside The Pack

We’ve got just one secondary compartment to work with, and it’s the stuff sack, too. This minipocket is on the back panel when the pack is in use. It’s pretty small—not even large enough for a modern smartphone. You could slide a wallet or set of keys here, though you’ll feel whatever you slot here on your back since there’s no back panel padding.

Forclaz 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack Packed

To stow the pack in the stuff sack, force all the materials inside. We recommend loading the shoulder straps first because if you leave them until last, the straps like to poke out and get in the way of the zipper track.

The stuff sack has a small logo, a picture of a backpack, so you know what’s inside, and “10L” printed on it. Decathalon and FORCLAZ make a few packable pieces of gear, so the information ensures you know what you’ve got in your hand. There’s a small attachment loop, so you can hook a carabiner or strap through it and clip it onto your pack or sling .

When stowed away, the pack fits into the palm of your hand. You can compress it even more by applying pressure. It will fit in your pocket, sling, or between items in your daypack without much fuss.

Forclaz 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack Stuffed 2

Transitioning back into daypack mode, all 10 liters of storage come into play with the main compartment. It’s an ample open space with no organization inside.

It does better with lightweight items because the exterior materials don’t offer much structure. If you were to throw a couple of potatoes inside the pack, the entire thing would look stretched and awkward. The odds are that you won’t do that, though any small and heavy item will have the same effect.

You can fit a good amount of gear inside. However, there isn’t any way to organize the bag once it’s there without using external help from packing cubes, and we feel that defeats the pack’s purpose. It’s a packable daypack to save space; if you need to add packing cubes, you should go with a more heavy-duty packable backpack.

You’re best off using this as a just-in-case daypack for trips where you’re trying to save weight. At 1.6 ounces, you won’t even notice this is in your pack. We wouldn’t recommend using it on a few-mile hike.

Forclaz 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack Back

Still, for an adventure around a new place, it’s a versatile piece of gear to throw in your pocket or sling just in case you buy something, you want to take off your travel jacket because the weather warms up, or you want to stop at the local market on the way back to the hotel or Airbnb. Plus, at the time of writing, the pack comes in at under $10. If you lose it or it rips, you won’t be out of a ton of cash!

Usage Timeline

Condition: Excellent

  • Extraordinarily light materials are excellent for packability but give us durability concerns
  • No padding or aeration to speak of
  • At under $10 USD, you’ll be pressed to find a cheaper option
  • Materials have held their own—no issues with tears, rips, or abrasions
  • Not the most comfortable pack, but it works well for lightweight items
  • We worry about the longevity of the hanging loop—but no issues so far

Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L: Comfort & Efficiency for Weekend Backpacking (Decathlon)

' src=

On a recent overnight in Wyoming’s Wind River Range, I tested the Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack by Decathlon which proved a lightweight and comfortable option.

The thought and care put into designing this pack to make it efficient in terms of both features and function is evident. Here are some of the features that stood out:

Easyfit Adjustability

EasyFit Backpack Straps

I took the Decthalon Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack on a trip to Wyoming’s Wind River Range. I’m always wary when trying new packs out as they often pull and tug at my shoulders, but I was pleased with how the Forclaz sat on hips.

While carrying a heavy set-up with a full rack and rope, the pack comfortably distributed the load in the proper places.

Pull Tab Backpack Adjustment

The shoulder straps are adjustable and can be adjusted by sliding them on the aluminum plates on the back of the pack. The red straps on the side of the pack can be pulled while wearing the pack which made for easy adjustment on the trail.

Compartment Layout

Opening Inside of Backpack while Backpacking

The Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack boasts a thoughtful compartment design. There are five separate compartments in the pack not including the water pouch storage on the side which securely holds a liter bottle. I was most impressed with the center compartment which zips down from the top; this made packing and unpacking gear easy and effortless.

The compartment on the hip belt was the perfect size for snacks and can hold a phone or small or other small personal items for easy access. It’s also worth mentioning that the water bottle pouch on the side was made to last.

Hip Belt on Hiking Backpack

It is made with the same durable material as the rest of the pack and securely holds a Nalgene sized bottle (no need to worry about losing your bottle on those steeper, scrambly sections).

Overall Impression

Decathlon Forclaz Trek 100

Overall, I appreciated the simplicity of the pack and I truly felt the layout of the compartments made organizing gear a smooth and satisfying process. The Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack is a lightweight pack that is an ideal option for anyone looking for a comfortable pack for a weekend backpacking trip. The pack can be purchased here from Decathlon for an astoundingly reasonable price of $119.00 .

Camping in Wyoming

This pack is well worth the money. The Easyfit design feature allows the user to adjust the pack to fit securely, and allows for an enjoyable experience on the trail. This feature along with the compartment design and durable materials make the Forclaz Trek 100 a great addition to any backpacker’s arsenal of packs.

Our Verdict

Compare to similar products, our analysis and test results.

The Decathlon Forclaz MT500 Air 50+10 is a very well-designed backpack. We've seen packs that cost more than twice what this costs that aren't as well thought out. It has top, center, and bottom access points to the main compartment and has nine pockets in addition to the main compartment. This is far more pockets than most other packs we tested, and, at 3.7 pounds, it's not nearly as heavy as we'd expect given all those zippers.

Performance Comparison

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - this pack performs as well on the trail as some packs we tested that...

The MT500 Air is one of the most comfortable backpacks in our budget backpacking packs review . It has a full-framed suspension system that can handle moderate loads. This isn't the pack to carry 50+ pound loads with, but for loads less than 35 pounds, we found it to be one of the most comfortable.

Its suspension system has a mesh trampoline-style back panel. This keeps the main pack body from resting directly on your back and increases airflow to your back, which is important because a sweaty back can lead to chafing and other discomforts. Happily, some air can get between you and this pack with its suspended mesh back panels that helps to reduce back sweat.

The MT500 Air has an aluminum frame that wraps around the perimeter of the pack's main body under the mesh trampoline back panel. This frame wraps around the top and bottom of the back panel, effectively connecting the shoulder straps and hip belt. By loosening the shoulder straps and load lifters, we were able to effectively load all the weight of the pack onto the hip belt.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - the mt500 air has thick padding on the shoulder straps where you...

The shoulder straps on this pack are very plush and the thickest at the point where they rest on your shoulders. These shoulder straps are much thicker than many of the packs we tested. The mesh material on the underside of the straps is comfortable to wear. The sternum strap has a small section of elastic. This is a minor detail that you don't often see in budget backpacks, but it makes the sternum strap much more comfortable.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - this small piece of elastic on the sternum strap makes it much more...

The hip belt on this pack is made of a stiff material sandwiched between the outward-facing material and layers of comfortable, cushioned foam padding. This makes the hip belt slightly rigid and, therefore, more supportive. After hiking for a few hours without taking this pack off, we didn't have any hot spots or chafing.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - the hipbelt is more rigid than many we've tested, which feels more...

Ease of Use

The MT500 Air has some of the most features on a pack we've seen. A minimalist hiker who prefers a simple pack with only a few pockets would be overwhelmed by the number of places to stash gear on this pack. If you're looking for organizational options, this pack is a great choice.

This backpack has a total of 10 pockets if you count the water bottle pocket and the main compartment. There are two pockets on the pack lid, two side pockets, and two hip belt pockets. There is also a large pocket on the backside of this pack for stashing a jacket or other items you want to be able to grab quickly.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - the front pocket is great for stashing a coat to grab quickly later.

The pack's main compartment is accessible from the top, the bottom, and the front. The top uses a cinch closure that is covered by the brain. The front opening unzips to access stuff in the middle of the pack. When you unzip this front panel, it exposes three pieces of webbing with buckles and cinch closures. You can use these to laterally compress your gear in the pack.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - you can dig into the middle of the main compartment through the...

The bottom of the pack has a zipper-accessible sleeping bag compartment. If you want a dedicated place to store your sleeping bag, this is a great spot for it. If you prefer to stuff everything into one compartment, there is another zipper to open this bottom compartment into the main body of the pack.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - we loved this side water bottle pocked and wished there was another...

There are two external pockets that can be used to store a water bottle. On one side of the pack is a pocket with rigid material and elastic sewn around the top, making it easy to slide a water bottle in while wearing the pack. It has just a strip of webbing across the bottom of the bottle, and an elastic cinch cord loop secures the bottle in place. On the other side of the pack, there is a second pocket made of stretch mesh that easily fits a 20-ounce water bottle or any other items you may want on the outside of your pack. There is also a water bladder sleeve inside the pack.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - the sleeping bag compartment unzips to provide quick access to your...

Weight-to-Volume Ratio

The MT500 Air weighs 3 pounds, 11 ounces. With an advertised capacity of 60 liters, this pack has a weight-to-volume ratio of 0.99 ounces per liter. This is not the lightest, but not particularly heavy either. When you consider all the features this pack has, this is a very respectable weight. Zippers weigh a lot, and this pack has plenty of them.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - the mt500 isn't the lightest, but it's light enough to keep us...

Adjustability

The MT500 Air only comes in one size. However, this one size has 6 inches of adjustability in torso length. By our measurements, this pack will fit anywhere from a 14-inch to a 20-inch torso. There is also 22 inches of adjustability in the waist belt (11 per side).

While this pack can fit a wide range of torso sizes, it would be improved if it came in two sizes. This way, it could fit people with larger than 20-inch torsos and less than 14-inch torsos. However, we think 14-20 inches is going to fit the majority of male bodies for whom it is designed.

decathlon forclaz mt500 air 50+10 budget backpacking pack review - the mt500 air only comes in one size but the torso length is...

Should You Buy the Decathlon Forclaz MT500 Air 50+10?

The Decathlon Forclaz MT500 Air 50+10 is an excellent deal for an affordable and high-quality backpacking pack. This pack is inexpensive enough to fit within most budgets and performs better than many more expensive packs. While we haven't thru-hiked thousands of miles in this pack, it's held up to plenty of use and abuse. As long you aren't carrying more than 35 pounds or looking for an ultralight option, this pack will probably work for you.

Travel gear review: quechua forclaz 40 air backpack 7.

The Quechua Forclaz 40 Air backpack in 3 different modes: compressed to cabin-size luggage, with the included rain cover, and expanded to full hiking size.

A few months ago I replaced my Cabin Max Metz cabin-sized backpack . The Cabin Max was spacious and ideally suited to carry the maximum amount of hand luggage on a low-cost flight , but it wasn’t very comfortable to wear. I wanted a backpack that was useful for transporting my stuff by plane without checking it, but that I could also carry for hours when hiking. After some research I bought the Quechua Forclaz 40 Air hiking backpack. I’ve taken my new backpack on four trips now, each of between five days and three weeks in length, and that has given me enough experience with it to write a review.

Carrying comfort

The Forclaz Air 40 is made for comfort . The back panel is spaced about 3cm from your back by a polyester mesh with 6 foam spacing blocks. This allows air to circulate and keeps your back from getting all sweaty. I found that the spacing blocks would at times exert slightly more pressure than normal on points of my back, but this is more made up for by the improved air flow.

Load it from the top…

There is a padded hip belt which comfortably puts most of the weight on your hips rather than on your shoulders, which is important when you’re carrying a heavily loaded pack for more than an hour. The shoulder straps are also well padded and don’t chafe against your skin. I did find that the backpack seems aimed at people who are shorter than me. I’m 1.86m tall (6’2″), and unless I adjust the shoulder straps to maximum length it feels like the weight is transferred from my hips to my shoulders. It’s still confortable enough to carry the pack adjusted this way, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone taller.

Organization

The backpack is very easy to access. Technically it’s a top loader, but because there’s a two-way zipper running all the way down along the front of the pack, you can access any part of the main compartment without taking out all of your stuff . One might argue that it’s a little too easy to access the backpack, especially when walking around in crowded urban spaces. Avoid putting any valuables in the front part of the main compartment.

… or from the side.

The main compartment is one big space with just one internal pocket directly against the back panel. This pocket was designed to hold a camelback water sack (like the Platypus ), but I use it to store my laptop. Since my laptop is usually the heaviest item I’m carrying, it’s ideal to have it as close to my back as possible. Also, it makes it impossible to take out the laptop without me noticing it.

On either side of the pack you’ll find a long zippered compartment . These are ideal for items that you need readily accessible. I tend to use one for computer gear (cables, chargers, removable media, etc.) and the other for outdoor gear (my Swiss army knife, rope, headlamp, etc.). On each side you’ll also find a stretchable mesh pocket that easily fits a small water bottle. Finally there’s a handy small pocket on the hip belt , which can just hold a smartphone, a set of keys, and a folded map.

This backpack clearly wasn’t designed for the urban traveller. There is no organization for things like passports, pens, paper, and other small office items. You’ll either have to bunch them together in one of the smaller pockets, or provide your own organization sleeve to put inside the pack. Still, unless you’re packing for a day full of business meetings, the pack is sufficient to secure some office supplies.

Packing space

Because of the 3 cm airspace between the back panel and the mesh, the Quechua takes up relatively much room for the amount of space inside the main compartment. Compared to a pack like the Cabin Max Metz , you’re sacrificing some packing space for greater wearing comfort.

The secure top compartment. (And am I crazy or does anyone else see a frog eating my passport in this picture?)

What I absolutely love about the Forclaz is the top compartment . When empty, it rests nearly flat against the backpack, allowing it to fit within airline maximum carry-on dimensions. But when full, it gives the pack another 8 litres or so of packing space . Because of the adjustable closing strap on the front, the top compartment fits snugly in any configuration. You can also easily stow a jacket or sweater under the top compartment for easy access.

On the under-side of the top compartment you’ll find a thin zipped mesh compartment for papers. A back-facing zipper with an extra velcro-closing inner pocket creates a safe space for your valuables . Altogether you get 40 litres of packing space when the bag is fully expanded. On top of that the pack features some elastic straps that allow you to attach a sleeping mat or tent. This should be enough for a catered hiking trip or extended urban travel.

The Forclaz Air 40 comes with a rain cover to help you keep your stuff dry when walking in the rain. It’s also useful to protect your pack when checking it into the hold of a plane or bus. The rain cover is separate rather than integrated, so you can choose to leave it at home when travelling to the desert. You could easily buy a separate rain cover for any backpack, but the advantage of the one that comes with the Quechua is that it fits snugly. Also it saves you $20 or so.

This backpack is available in two colors: mint-and grey or black-and-red. I like neither. The black/red one is too conspicuous, while the mint/grey one looks a tad girly. I bought the girly one, choosing functionality over looks, but Quechua could have done a better job on this.

In Europe the Quechua is sold by Decathlon for 50-57 euros, depending on your country (about $63-70). Unfortunately they don’t ship to the US, so you’ll either have to pick it up on a trip to Europe, or buy it on Amazon at the local price of $110.

The Quechua Forclaz 40 Air is an excellent hiking backpack for shorter trips that don’t require cooking, camping, or heavy outdoor gear. It’s size is just about perfect. When compressed it’s small enough to be taken as hand luggage on board an airplane, while when fully expanded it offers plenty of space for all your packing needs. The bag could have featured some more internal organization, but even without that it’s a fine choice for the light traveller. At $110 it’s worth the price difference with cheaper backpacks like the Cabin Max Metz for the added comfort.

Don’t you experience the extra zippers as a weak point as well?

' src=

@Mo: The zippers on the top, hip, and side compartments never get any real tension, so they are ok. The only potential weakness is the zipper all the way along the front. If the backpack is loaded too heavily, this zipper is put under some stress. It’s fine as long as the zipper remains closed. but if you try to open or close the zipper while under tension, it may be possible to damage it. This hasn’t happened to me though.

' src=

How lowest high of this gear? I wanted the carry-on backpack and the airline carry-on luggage dimensions is less than 54cmx38cmx23cm. Can I get this gear?

@Mullika: The minimum height of the pack is 54cm. That is if you leave the top compartment empty and folded flat against the main compartment. The width is about 33cm, so on that end you’re fine. The depth can be compressed down to 23cm, but it requires a bit of creative folding and not packing it to the rim.

I’ve used the backpack as carry-on luggage on European low-cost airline (Ryanair and Wizz Air) flights, and it was fine.

Questions & Answers

Questions & answers +.

Look for product information, frequently asked questions, opinions...

Q uestion :

Will you offer any of the 40L travel bags in the US soon? For example, the forclaz travel 100 40L or the forclaz travel 500 organizer 40L.

We are working very hard to enlarge our backpacks collection. We will be increasing our backpacks assortment to the full extent by the middle of next year.

Does it have a metal frame and is it removable?

No, it does not.

What is the recommended weight capacity for this pack? If it is not stuffed full, can it be compressed to fit as carry-on luggage? Thank you.

We do not have recommendeds weight capacity for our backpacks. However, the fabric of the bag is ultra resistant and Decathlon is proud to offer this warranty for any defect that could appear in the next 10 years. We recommend checking with the airline of your choice since the requirements can change from one to another. Dimensions: 24.4/” x 12.6/” x 9.4/”

Customer Reviews +

Product customer reviews.

The top strap comes off easily, so I started tying it in knots. But it's great, I've already used it on more than 10 trails, it carries a lot of stuff and it's very comfortable and resistant.

The backpack looks really stylish compared to many others. However, 50L is not enough for a trip lasting several weeks, so I returned it. The price/performance ratio is great, though. I will opt for a larger model.

Everything is ok, but the waterproof case is not included.

It's value for money Like the product & recommend to buy

Perfect beginner bag

It's very good, multifunctional

If you say 50 liters is enough, there is more than 50. Price performance 5+5 stars

Good quality bag, used for trekking and fits perfectly. +++

Great storage capacity and easy to store due to the shape of its opening, good quality and a very good price.

I have been using it for years, it is a reliable equipment. It hasn't shown any wear yet. The capacity may not be sufficient for long-lasting nature sports. If you are going to carry a sleeping system and tent with you, you should look for 60L+. Other than that, it is a very sufficient and sturdy bag for day trips.

perfect backpack for small and big hikes

Bag used for traveling but not tested hiking. The volume is confirmed, the pockets practical. Overall the quality is good and will do the job for short hikes.

Additional Product Information

Product information +, composition.

Main fabric: 100.0% Polyester ; Lining: 100.0% Polyester ; Webbing: 100.0% Polypropylene ; Coating: 100.0% Polyurethane

How do i fill my bag for optimal comfort?

Put your bedding at the bottom. Put heavy gear (tent, camp stove, food) near your back. Pack your clothes around these items. You can place mats under the flap if there is no space inside; Keep a rainproof jacket and fleece close at hand. Keep a rainproof jacket and fleece close at hand. Place small items for daily use (sun cream, map, glasses etc.) in the pockets. If carrying a hydration pack (water bladder), this should be placed in its special pocket along the back.

How to adjust your backpack height?

Set the bag for the height you think will be correct and then adjust it (see. InchHow do I adjust my backpack?Inch). With the belt on your pelvis, put the straps around the front part of your shoulders and the load adjuster straps (which are sometimes also height-adjustable) at an angle of around 45° (they should never be horizontal or vertical). When trying it on, if the back seems too short or too long, readjust and try again until you are satisfied.

How do i adjust my backpack?

First, loosen all straps (shoulder straps, belt, load adjuster straps). Put the backpack on. For backpacks with a capacity of 50 L or more, place the hip belt correctly (it should sit over the pelvis) and tighten it. With smaller size bags, place around waist. Tighten the shoulder straps. Finally, adjust the load adjuster straps as needed.

How is bag volume measured?

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standard method: we use small balls to fill the main compartment as well as each pocket. We then empty these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in litres, with a tolerance of a few percent.The weight indicated is that of our benchmark sample. There may be slight variations.

10-year guarantee

The guarantee covers any backpack faults, except those caused by normal wear and tear and improper use. This special 10-year warranty will only be granted upon presentation of the receipt and the product, if the product is covered by warranty, it will be repaired or exchanged, free of charge. This commercial guarantee does not exclude the legal guarantees applicable depending on the country and / or state.

Water compartment

The bag has an inner compartment to store a water bladder. This is sold separately from the backpack.

Protect your bag from the rain

The backpack is not waterproof. We recommend you kit yourself out with a rain cover, available separately, if you predict threatening weather conditions.

All the backpack buckles can be repaired and are available as spare parts if broken.

Product testing

Using lab and field tests, we check the bag's resistance to abrasion and tearing, its colour-fastness under UV light and washing, and its water resistance.Then, the weighted backpack is placed on a dummy that simulates ageing by replicating thousands of fast walking movements, to check the durability of assemblies.The components (fabrics, buckles, straps, foam, zips, etc.) are also tested separately so that we can guarantee these bags for 10 years.

Storage instructions

Store your backpack in a dry place.

Your location: City , ST

Please enter a valid city with state or zipcode. Example: San Francisco, CA or 94101

    In this video, I am going to review the FORCLAZ 40L TRAVEL 100 Backpack. I think this is the best travel backpack for a minimalist you can buy. It's great va...

  2. Is the decathlon forclaz 40l worth it? : r/onebag

    I've had Forclaz 40L travel pack for about six months now. I find it's perfect for longer trips (more than a week) where I don't have to take a laptop with me. I've taken it for hiking holidays in Europe, to jiu-jitsu training camps (where it easily holds bulkier items like a training gi), and just general backpacking trips.

  3. A cheap onebag option

    Enter: this forum! But, being short on time to research and funds, I needed something cheap. The Forclaz 40L was an excellent purchase. It's basic, but costs only £35, an absolute bargain! Pros: Crazy cheap price, obviously. This bag is tough. It still looks new after three months of rough treatment!

  6. Decathlon Forclaz Backpack Review: Budget-Friendly and Versatile

    The Forclaz MT500 Air tips the scales at 3.7 pounds, which is about average for a pack of this type and great for folks who aren't obsessed with ultralight travel. Decathlon suggests a maximum of 33 pounds of gear in the pack, so if you're a "kitchen-sink" type backpacker, you may want to look at some other options from a different brand.

  7. New travel backpack from Decathlon

    Just 10 days ago I was writing to this subreddit about new duffel/backpack from Decathlon. It was decent, but had some problems. But Decathlon managed to nicely surprise me with release of new backpack, this time dedicated much more for traveling. I stopped in my nearest store for quick look.

  8. FORCLAZ 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack Review

    The FORCLAZ 100 Compact 10L Travel Backpack is one of the lightest, most budget-friendly packable backpacks on the market. FORCLAZ made lots of sacrifices to reduce the weight and costs of making this pack. We're curious whether the price and weight make it worth it or whether we'll miss the luxuries of offerings from brands like Matador.

  9. Forclaz Trek 100 Backpack Review

    The Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack boasts a thoughtful compartment design. There are five separate compartments in the pack not including the water pouch storage on the side which securely holds a liter bottle. I was most impressed with the center compartment which zips down from the top; this made packing and unpacking gear easy ...

  10. Decathlon Forclaz MT500 Air 50+10 Review

    The Decathlon Forclaz MT500 Air 50+10 is a very well-designed backpack. We've seen packs that cost more than twice what this costs that aren't as well thought out. It has top, center, and bottom access points to the main compartment and has nine pockets in addition to the main compartment. This is far more pockets than most other packs we ...

  16. Has anyone had any experience hiking with the forclaz travel 100

    Better to invest in a lighter, stronger pack. But for what I use it for: a long weekend once in a while or a 1 week/10 day hiking holiday during summer vacation it's perfectly fine. It's a budget backpack that goes great with their cheapest 2-person tent (it's pretty light without being an ultralight €700 tent and that for €30!), if you use ...
