Forclaz 50L Best Budget Backpack?
I have hand this 50L backpack for about 1-2 weeks now and I thought sharing the pros and cons of this budget 50L backpack from Decathlon. Long story short, it's a 1.4kg backpack for €40, and honestly, I'm rather impressed with what you get for the money.

The 'useless' pocket on the front is quite useful if you want to dry ur socks while hiking.

It's not useless, but I just would've preferred a larger one. 😉
Been eyeing this bag for my upcoming backpacking trip. I guess I’ll purchase this one.
Just got mine! Eager to start trying it out 😁 - mine doesn’t have the front handle just the one on top. Also no small back pocket for passport etc. Mine is two-tone maroon/red with black interior. The price was right and good enough reviews for me. So far I’m just day hiking and looking to start multi-day hiking.
Great review. I bought this bag before wating your video. I think it's good value for money bag. Full zip is excellent idea. Coincidentally we also bough waist organizer.

Maybe it was a design choice so that then we buy more waist bags? 😛
Thanks for the review. I bought the backpack a week ago and used it on walks in the alps. I'm very happy with it although I'm 1.84. no torso length issue for me TBH

Its around 30$ in Malaysia . Even for Malaysian thats so cheap but still get 10 years warranty
I plan to walk about 300 km for 10 days, would you recomend this bag for that, im 190cm tall, also is there possibility to attach a tent for 4 person (59x20x18cm) on the outside of the backpack. Thanks in advance.
Good review. About that metal bar (spine of the bag); does the metal bar in your bag is a bit curved too? I bought the same Forclaz model online and the unit I received has that metal bar curved from the middle. I don't know if this is normal or my unit is damaged. Please confirm it.

The straps could be improved but it does the job I love the fact that the bag unzips entirely for easy access and for the money it's pretty good. But it isn't the best bag in the world neither.
Thanks for the review, maybe i missed it but can you lock the zippers with a small padlock? thanks for the reply in advance.

You can't really :/ even if you lock the 3 zipper together you can still open it, and there is always an acces by the top of the bag anyway
Hi i thinking buy this bag for Trekkig and Hiking 3 days maximum do you think it's enough for space in general? i have 1,85 cm I'm afraid of not fitting my hips and straining my lower back, what do you think?
@TheOneGoodRoad
Жыл бұрын
I myself found the bag on the longest setting not long enough to rest on my hips so be careful and try it in the store first if you can, worse case you can take it back. Maybe try the Ultralight series or they have the MT100 which has a larger adjustability.
for those that have bought this backpack, would you think it's suitable for backpacking in Asia? Where we will probably not be hiking with it for too long at a time, more for storing our things/living out of and in transit

If you just need to live out of it, and not carry it for hours, then a camping back is probably even better. As the reviewer said this is a hiking bag that is also suitable as a travel bag.
Would you recommend this bag for people looking to travel Europe for about a month?

I just got back from a 4 day 75k hike and it does the job. One of the main features I like about the backpack is that there's a zip that allows you to get quickly into the entire bag and then it zips up the entire bag again. It's not the best backpack it's definitely a budget backpack in terms of comfort but it does a job for most people.
Please review the regular backpacking version please!
