I just bought this today for a projected 4 day hike to the Grand Canyon. I immediately put into it: a tent, a sleeping bag, a rolled up sleeping pad, a cooking pot. When I actually take the hike, i still have to carry hiking socks, shorts, extra pair of shoes for night-time, hiking poles, food, water bladder, first-aid/cleaning hygiene, jackets. It seemed to carry lightly, without effort. It seems spacious and durable.

Is it possible to take a lock to close up the main pocket?

Looking spectacular Ravi! Clear and concise points! Kudos to taking massive action in creating the video! Looking forward to your future product reviews!

Hi, as this is a trekking focused bag. It doesn't have a suitcase style locking facility. However I suggest to get a plane cover that you can cover the whole backpack if you are planning to take flights, trains or buses. Not only the plane cover will keep everything secure due to the lockable zips but also all the straps of the bag that can get caught in places will also be hidden. Hope this helps.

Info: the 10 L dayback is no longer easily detachable, and it doesn't come with strap. That part has been discontinued. I bought this rucksack yesterday, anyway. 🙁

@takeme2themountains

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks :) Sorry had to keep the video as short and crisp as possible, hence couldn't show all the how to's. However adjusting this bag is a piece of cake. It's very similar to the existing range of Forclaz backpacks available at Decathlon. You just have to pass the flat strap through the webbing located on the spine of the backpack and secure it. Here is the link of official Quechua- how to guide kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJuL1aOFndjFfrw.html. Regarding the comparison with Lowe Alpine Diran, I really can't say much as I haven't had my hands on that bag yet. Though with the videos on KZread I can say the padding looks good but as it lacks the internal compression straps and shoulder width adjustment that Trek 900 has, the weight distribution may not be as good. But only a real test with weights can tell the truth. Hope that helped. Cheers! :)

Hi Ravi, This is an excellent bag review. I am an extensive traveler and I do take a lot of flights where I might have to check this bag in. The video doesn't show how the main bag looks like after detaching the top sling bag. Will the rest of the main bag be exposed with just the tethers to tighten it or it should be acceptable to check-in at the airport? I'm not too concerned if it will be safe from theft because virtually all bags, even with locks are not safe. I am only concerned if airlines refuse to check in the baggage because of the top part which may look very open with just tethers to tighten it and may not hold the content within. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you very much!

Hi Manj, apologies for the delay in responding. KZread took a backseat. Anyway I am very sure you probably already have sorted your bag questions by now. But just an update the revamp model doesnt come with removable top part as it was not used by people as much as the company thought it would be during the time of conception so they chose to remove it and the lid now is stitched permanently. Also I noticed the bag was going quite tall above the head(especially the 90l version) after stuffing something between the lid and the bag in the previous version so I think it's a good improvement. Makes the bag more stable. Anyway do let me know where all did you go with your new bag and how it felt?

Sadly this bag can't be locked as such however you can get travel/plane covers which are more practical solutions as you put the whole bag inside and no hassle of straps loose outside, bag getting dirty or someone breaking a buckle due to mishandling. Of course you can lock the cover too.

Hi Sina. Hope you doing good. Apologies for a massively late reply. The numbers on the website are guidelines for users who want to know how much weight they should carry. You probably know this already that an average trekker can carry comfortable weight of 20-25% of their body weight. But then Nepali sherpas carry 70 to 90% of their body weight. So an 80kg trekker might carry only 20kgs before he/she starts to feel the load on back and knees especially if the trek is a multiple day trek in difficult terrain. To make it easy for first time buyers the weight guideline is there. This bag won't tear of you stuff it with 30kg and carry it. Of course it all depends on weight distribution too. Let me know which bag did you decide on and what you discovered during your research. Would be nice to learn something new. Cheers!

How is this different from the similar looking trek 700

@takeme2themountains

6 жыл бұрын

Hi Ivy, the trek 900 is made with heavier(bigger zips, straps, buckles and 600 denier fabric) materials for heavy duty use. A user who wants to carry everything on their own in the mountains for many days. This type of user would carry anything from 15 to 25kgs( max weight you want to comfortably carry is 1/3 of your body weight, people do carry more at times but that's their choice). The trek 700 on the other hand is for a user who may be going hut to hut and might not carry everything or even if they do, the key thing on their mind is lightness. This type of user usually would carry from 8 to 15kgs. Hence the choice of materials for trek 700 is different. It's 300 denier rip-stop fabric(much lighter than the trek 900 fabric which ultimately makes the bag much lighter than 900), with one less bottle compartment on the side, top lid doesn't become a separate messenger bag, back adjustment system is different, doesn't have the shoulder width adjustment and a few more differences. I may do a review soon on the 700 too. Hope this was helpful! Happy trekking :)

The topper bag cannot be removed now I believe .. I have recently purchased this bag. This is quite disappointing.. and also this bag should have been given atleast locking system. When you are spending so much money. Atleast it should have been provided with locking zips which forclaz fails again. You know how bad things might happen when you are solo traveller on train when you take some washroom breaks or at airport when you can’t carry this bag with you due to its height.
