Hi, thanks for stopping by!
To miss my nattering, go to 6.38 for footage of the bag 👍
I took the plunge and decided to Down size my Ruck Sack!!
I still love and will keep my Osprey Rook 65L, however with at long last a long hike & scramble with wildcamp trip approaching - I needed something a bit smaller.
After much deliberation I decided on the Forclaz Mountain Treck 100 50L bag purchased from Decathlon.
Take look at it with me as I show you some of the features on this ruck sack.
A couple of quotes about Decathlon & Forclaz on the video I hasten to add are courtesy of Wikipedia, so how true, perhaps enlighten me!
A full list of dimensions is near the end of the video - you will need to pause to read fully.
However probably easier to follow this link directly to the said bag!
www.decathlon....
I emphasize I do not work for Decathlon, and am not on any commision deal whatsoever. Indeed if I use this bag for the first time and it falls apart, I will soon let you all know!!
If you would like to support my channel, please buy me a coffee!
Would be genuinely appreciated!

Thanks again for stopping by - please look out for my next video when I actually use this ruck sack on it's first outing!
All the best

Without a doubt the best review I've seen on this pack, and mate you didn't say a word but explained everything. One of the biggest problems with so many of the Decathlon reviews is language, but as I said, you said it all without saying a thing, and you also packed your actual camping gear ripper review and so bloody well organised. Mate this was 2 thumbs up and 10 out of 10.
Wow Col that is high praise indeed! Thank you Soooo much - genuinely appreciated 😃 Adam 👍
Hello, I am writing from Turkey. This was the best bag review video I've ever watched, man, thank you.
That is very kind of you to say, thank you so much - regards to Turkey 😃
Thanks for review. Just picked one of these up - second hand but never been used - for £20. Happy days! Looking forward to trying it out.
I bought this backpack today and it's my first good quality hiking backpack. I hope I will not be regret about it and thank you for that video I've learned something from you.
I really hope that the backpack performs well for you, thank you for comments. Good luck Adam 🙂
Still happy with it?
Yes definitely
@@alperen.asci. iam thinking about buying it. iam 188cm 90kg.. Don't know if it still fits well.
I am 186 cm and 108 kg it fits well
The outdoorgearreview channel gave it a massive thumbs up two days ago. He was very impressed with it all the features including zips and back adjustment. He said it was the best back adjustment he ever saw on a pack. So you picked wisely
Hey thanks for this! That's good to know. I am no expert by any means, and in the few times I have used this sack, I have been more than pleased with it! Thanks for getting in touch - regards - Adam
Thank you so much for doing this review. Saved me some time in looking for a new backpack!
You are so welcome - I hope you have many adventures with your new backpack - All the best Adam
Thank you so much for this great review, nicely explained and demonstrated. also the fitting. So helpful thanks mate
Very welcome thanks for watching 👍
Great review. I was on the fence but I really like all of the features. Thank you so much
Hey you are very welcome, thanks for watching and comments 👍
Great video sir
Thank you 😀
Another fan of Decathlon. We found them years ago in France and now in UK albeit only England!
Always love a browse in there... Thanks for watching 😃
Good video, think I will go for this. Bottle holder reminds me of my ancient Pro-action hiking bag I used when I was in scouts. Did a good leg of walking with no hydration because I couldn’t reach the bottle, I thought I had dropped it, weren’t till I set up camp I found it!
Great! Thanks for watching - and comments, all the best - Adam 👍
Thanks Adam, the pleasure reading your review is all mine, absolutely spot on. Of course i can't divulge the pack I'm going to buy next :
thank you for your story, mr. McLaurin. May I ask your age? This happening 50 years ago, you must have been around for some time. Once again, thank you for your great advice and a little story to accompany it.
WOW! One - sincere apologies for taking so long to even acknowledge this fascinating story. And Two, again, wow. The irony being I actually work as a Paramedic, so am aware of the importance of time-critical situations, such as you describe. However, thankfully, hiking along the Pennine Way in the UK I am not aware of any Papuan Black snakes awaiting to snap at our legs - At least I hope not! But I absolutely take your point at First aid kits being easily accessible. Always amazed at the number of people that do not even carry first aid kits at all! A slip or a stumble can happen on the most local of dog walks! (But no I don't carry a first aid kit when I walk my dogs either!)
Anyway Col, thanks for your fascinating story - and for watching my video. Once again sincere apologies for the delay in even acknowledging it - Just on occasions messages get posted that - slip through the net so to speak - and this one did.
All the very best to you & regards
Adam 👍🏼
I bought this bag today I am looking forward to go hiking with it nice video thx
Very welcome thanks for watching 👍
Hello my friend ! you made a nice review here , quite interesting ! As a frenchMan, I am delighted to see how the brand is increasingly recognized for its quality equipment at reasonable prices, all around the world . ( have a look on the ESCAPE 500 BAGPACK) Honestly the treck 100 this bag is a bang ! 70 € here .. 1/2 of an osprey or deuter bagpack , with maybe a little bit less of confort. Oh and btw, we say "forcla" : it's a city in the high alps , not so far from Annecy .its a branch of decathlon, specialized in trekking and alpinism. take care !
Thank you so much for your kind words - Good to know the correct pronunciation as well! Sending you kind regards from our little island - All the best - Adam 😀
I got it two days ago, went for camping yesterday with it, jsut got home as I had to go to MRI scan but backpack is just giving me more and more trust in it. I loaded 18kg and it kept great, nothing loose, it feels great, no backpain although I didn't hike for years and I had a big steep hills yesterday to hike over. 5 miles hike but I would notice something already. Padding is just I like it, not too soft or firm and flexible. Adjusting it is easy as it can be. Everuthing is just so good I can't believe. My main concerne was a big zipp in front but it is sturdy af. Side pockets are great. Had a bigger sleeping bag and a mat and still has space in bottom compartment for a pillow and ultralight jacket. Pocket on a side I use for holding peperspray and one on a chest straps. I didn't have trekking poles but tent poles attached to designated place and kept them firm and not loose at all. I was testing big tent for a car travel so I mounted other part on a top and didn't throw me off balanve at all. Bottle pocket is something game changing, so so so easy to reach for bottlle, no shoulder cramps. 10/10 honestly, for that much money and what you got and how it performs
Fantastic - Thank you, that sounds as if it performed really well - So glad to hear that! Thank you for letting me know. Hope the MRI scan was ok - And may you have many new adventures! All the best - Adam
Excellent video! This was very helpful
thank you so much 😀
I just came across your channel and the name is so funny. I'm 51, so I totally get it. I started hiking again at 48 or so.
Also, I think that the biggest signs of a midlife crisis probably is calling it that. At 50, I'd be lucky to be halfway!
Glad you said that. Some people are saying 50 is beyond midlife! I am 54 and consequently clinging on to my 'midlife' as long as I can! But it's no crisis - I am loving it!! All the best - Adam
@@justgetoutthereguy IThanks for replying to my cmments! No, I don't really mind my age, but you do notice it. When in my twenties, I used the first few days of a hike to get into shape Two days of seven or eight miles plus a rest day and after that no problem doing 15. That's simply not something I can repeat anymore. On the other hand, I am much more at peace with myself now.
Fantastic video helped me a lot hope it’s treating you well
Thank you so much - Not getting as much use as I would want, but I will be back out there soon... All the best Adam
Wholesome review. Appreciate it.
Very welcome, thank you
Thank you for your well done review. I recently got the 70L version. Everything seems great just noticed there is a space area where my back doesn’t touch the backpack. Is this normal for telling backpacks? Just curious if that lack of support causes any back discomfort? Thank you.
nice presentation, thanks a lot
😀
Hey thanks! Very welcome 👍
10 KG is really good, especially with food and water on board, Now ya getting the hang of it.
I scaled down my bike packing kit by doing the 2 back panniers only plan. If it don't fit in it, it doesn't come with me.
I'm quite a fan of decathlon, iv'e only bought a few things from em so far.
A pair of lightweight trousers that can pack down to a size of a beer can.
And a helium pillow(big up) Love that thing.
There clothing range is really good, and way cheaper than the rest.
Good luck on your trip.
Thanks Gary, yes getting there but realised... No beer! So that might take me over the 10kg a bit... But gotta have a beer! Thanks as ever mate, no doubt will be posting up results hopefully soon 😜 All the best Adam
I'll do the tour de mont blanc with my wife in july so we need to get backpacks, thanks for this review! we'll choose this model, it seems to offer a good balance price/quality
Thank you Kevin! Sorry for delayed acknowledgement! Hope you got on ok with the bags - Adam 8
Great video, perfect review. Keep going.Tks 👏
I just ordered this pack. Looks better than I expected. Can't wait for it to arrive!
I hope you like it! Thanks for watching - Adam
Still happy?
Good review! Thank you.
Very welcome! Thanks for watching 😀
Great video Adam. I down sized my 3 season setup not too long ago (you can see the system on a test walk on my channel), but have yet to test it out in anger due to my ankles flaring up on that walk, and I haven't been out since. Now sat with my ankle on a stool following key hole surgery on Wednesday. Not had a pint in a week (due to the meds) and gagging for a swift one. All the best.
Thanks Andy, sorry to hear of your ankle problems - hope you have a quick recovery - Adam
Now I wonder if your knees are going to love you for it Adam? I'm certain they'll know. Great sack mate. You've sold it to me. All the best on that hike. Mark
Ha ha wish I was on commission! Well as they say, proof in the pudding and all that! Looking FWD to see how it performs! No doubt will post results asap!! Thanks Mark, hope you are well - ATB Adam 👍
@@justgetoutthereguy A pleasure Adam, yes, proof is in the pudding. Look forward to the test results.
Decathlon is typically my plan one for gear. If I find something better elsewhere and an willing to spend more, I will, but often, they hit the sweet spot for me.
Absolutely - I agree - I am like a kid in a sweet shop in there 🤣
@@justgetoutthereguyI too always love looking about in outdoor shops, especially if I find something small and nifty.
Looks the biz 👌 all the best mate.
Thanks Glen - all the best to you too 👍
Nice review. I don't think I could trust that zip in the back, get to the top of a mountain and wonder why me pack feels so light :)
Yeh fair comment... Perhaps back up straps always be advisable 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 in case! Thanks for watching and comments!
Great review.... Looks good 👍
Thank you - 🤞Hope it performs! Can't wait to find out - Cheers for watching 👍
Thank you for the great review. Are the aluminum stays removable (for washing and packability)?
Thanks for watching - my honest answer is... I am not 100% sure, as my daughter currently has the bag, but I am pretty certain they are NOT removable...
I think you've got yourself a bargain for £50 Mate. Looks very good and from the vid just the perfect size. Looking forward to seeing this one in action on a vid very soon. 👍
Hi Mark, yes really pleased with it, just hope it performs ok - loof fwd to finding out! See u still getting plenty of rides in! Must be super bike fit! So need to get back out on mine 🤔so much I need to do... So little time... 🙈 All the best mate and thanks - Adam 👍
@@justgetoutthereguy would you recommend it for taller guys? What are your personal top backpacks?
Great video man. Keep up the good job
Thank you so much 😀
Aaand remember,the bigger the backpack,the more you carry.Its really,that simple.
Very true...
Hello man, nice review, this is the same as the MT100 Easyfit 50L?, is another name for same backpack?
Hi thank you for watching - My honest answer is... I don't know! I have googled MT100 & from wot I see, they look similar - ATB - Adam 👍
Hey man great review, thanks for putting it together. One question I'd have now that you probably used it even more is : how reliable is that main zipper in terms of durability? I never used a system like this before and am concerned it might eventually fail during a hike leaving the bag useless to old my stuff. Esp due to the fact it can also be zipped from the bottom up.
Fair question and a worry I have had, but just went with the risk. I clarify it is not a heavy duty zip, so it is a genuine concern that it might one day fail - consequently I just use the zipper carefully - and although I have not used it as much as I would have liked, up until now, I have had no problems. The design of the pack is just so appealing with the ease of access, I am willing to take that risk! Footnote. If on a long trip I would possibly ensure I had a belt or strap... (Just in case!) I hope this helps thanks for watching 👍 Adam
@@justgetoutthereguy thanks for your honest point of view and insights on the matter! I might just give it a try too considering the very reasonable price! :)
Very thorough review, was great to watch you pack as I'm new to all of this so learnt about packing aswell as the bag. Think the womens version will be the one I get as my first backpack for no more than 2 or 3 nights at a time. Currently wondering if I will be able to carry this much weight 😄.
Aww thank you so much Emily! Good luck, I am sure you will have an amazing time! Thanks for watching - Adam 😀
Good honest review let us know how it performs in real life. Denise☺
Well I have used it a few times and I am genuinely impressed with it! It does encourage me to pack slightly less - something I find very difficult! particularly as I like to film my adventures, I do have a bit of camera equipment, chargers etc to pack as well - But generally - very happy with the bag! Thanks again for watching - Adam
This was excellent. Thank you for sharing. Just subscribed to your channel.
Very welcome! Thanks for watching 😀
Thank you for subscribing! Welcome along 🙂 All the best - Adam
Looks just the ticket what I'm looking for as well , love decathlon as well, spend hours when I get to go to one, same deal with wife and ikea😄 there gear is great, good quality and good price. Hopefully it does you well.
Cheers for that, it's served me well so far, not been out as much as I would have wanted, but hey 2021 is gonna be better... 🙏 Thanks for watching and comments ATB Adam 👍
Can be fit inside a fresh & black 2P tent if i separate poles and fold tent clothes
Should be no problem at all - thanks for watching - Adam
Seems to me there is still plenty of space! Come winter it will be full. Was not a light pack but value for money. Decathlon a good place for bargain hunting and beginners. Agree on the bikes.
Thanks - yes there is still plenty of room, just as well, didn't pack any spare clothing! Yes know there are lighter packs out there, but (weighed!) It up, and went for this one. Cannot wait to try it out. No doubt will post results 👍 Thanks for watching and comments - ATB Adam
Looks good mate, love a bargain! Stay safe next week and on the pesky few night shifts between now and then!
Pesky nt shifts indeed - dread them, but with hiking & Wildcamping as incentive, will soon be done! Thanks Harvey, stay safe yaself - all the best Adam 😀
Amazing review! Thank you :)
Thanks Josh, very pleased with it 👍 thanks for watching
First video of yours I’ve stumbled across. Subscribed : ) interested to see more of that little collapsible light if you have features it anywhere?
Welcome along Chris thank you 👍 This is the closest I have found, very similar - I do really like my collapsible light - reliable and handy! All the best - Adam www.gooutdoors.co.uk/15908582/hi-gear-collapsible-silicone-solar-lantern-15908582/?istCompanyId=c2ec8a5d-93c1-4850-a97a-f4d89d7c99c8&istFeedId=2755fba0-7dfe-46a9-bfd0-09b37aed8b93&istItemId=warpprpir&istBid=t&gclid=CjwKCAjwmv-DBhAMEiwA7xYrd3o72oNZsqiQJdY9mR4Lx0tNW14PsBf9NVBjSKXU-_01ctlkFnL_9BoCk28QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
l am about to buy this or other model, Are there zips round the side to get into the main compartment as only see access to main compartment fromt eh central zip and the hole at the top
Just the zip down the middle - thanks for watching hope you get on ok with it 🙂
there was still plenty of room to pack 2-3 sets of clothes as well right? Fleece pants/jackets etc
Im in doubt if i should get the 50L or 70L version of this bag for 2-5 day trekkings. I think 50L should do fine
great video. thanks
Welcome, thanks for watching 👍
Another good video, i always enjoy viewing them especially the wales trip and various trails, Tissington etc I appreciate all the effort you put in to make them detailed and informative plus the filming is always brilliant, well done and good luck, Tom
Tom really kind words, so gives me incentive to do more! Been ages since I have been able to produce a decent trip video - hopefully rectify that very soon. Really appreciate comments , all the best Tom - Adam 😀
I still don't understand what to do with the orange things! You simply tuck them away? You seem to have adjusted them for a second there, but I couldn't understand it. Never had a backpack like this, and so this sort of adjustment is new to me :)
The only downside here is the zipper in the front that hold the large area. Hope it last. Great Video!
Thank you so much 🤗😀
Is there any way to lock the bottom zipper at all? Thinking of getting the 70L but it'll have to go on a plane and knowing how they handle luggage it will just open if I don't lock it.
err.... Just been & checked - not really - there are little cord loops on each zipper, I guess you could pop a small padlock through to secure zips, but not exactly Fort Knox...
I like a browse of Decathlon too! We'll see how that goes in a few days :) PS. dehydrated food weighs a lot less!
I know, but I am greedy and dehydrated food just doesn't satisfy imo! I like my food too much! Looking forward to it my friend, bring it on 👌🏻😉
Start from 6:38
And miss my Rabbiting? No you are right, I do go on a bit! Thanks for watching anyway 👍
The only real issue I've had with this rucksack so far is the water holder.
Great review. I am really interested in the Rook 50 for my first backpack, as osprey’s antigravity system seems really good. I wondered if you missed it when you moved away from your rook 65 or if it’s a bit of a gimmick? Ideally I would of liked a pack with a bit more features, like deep side pockets, a stuff pouch on the front of the bag etc, so just checking alternatives before I pull the trigger.
Hey thank you. I still use my Rook, just when the load dictates - & when I do I really appreciate the comfort and feel of the Osprey. The 50 would be a great choice - however I really do like this Track pack, for the ease of access & pockets etc - but guessing for longer more demanding hikes - the Rook deffo has it for comfort - guess it's down to the wallet really...! good luck with your choice - regards Adam 😀
I like the 70 litre one......but can't justify it at the moment. Superb value. Thats a nice little "review", thank you. The only slight concern I might have would be with that otherwise excellent back zip. It needs some sort of flap, and/or a tensioning strap across ??
Opinion after 3 months? Have you used it?
@@Larrypint I have now bought a 70 litre version................looking really good, especially for the price. The back adjustment system seems absolutely superb
Do you suggest this one instead of the classic mh-500? I prefer this one of the video at a first view, but I don't understand why it looks more complete and it cost less 🙄🙄😅 what I am missing?
TBH I am unable to comment, I do not know this MH 500 - although I have just looked it up - But at first glance I still see the full length zip access as a big selling point for for this particular sack - Thanks for watching - Adam
That central zip makes me nervous. That thing faulters or gets caught mid trip, shits going everywhere & no "fail safe".
I am intrigued of the easy fit system though but that zip has me hesitating. What are your thoughts on it?
Think I actually mention that on the video. Yes. Concerned me too, but used the bag a few times with no problems. But yes, if that zip gives out... foobar. But alas still think it's a good quality bag for the money - thanks for watching 👍
If it does, you can wrap some paracord tight around to hold everything in place. Has a 10 yr warrantee so I think zip failure would be refund or replace.
Does the Decathlon store have a sale like many stores just after Christmas.
Quite fancy paying a visit to the store near me ... not that near really after 🎅 has given me some 💰
Hi thanks for watching, tbh not sure about sales, well worth checking out the website I guess - with everything going on - an online visit is probably the best option! Thanks for watching - Merry Christmas all the best - Adam 👍
I want a backpack for a 2-4 days hiking trips and I have the Salewa Denali II 2 tent(Pack Dimensions: 47 x 20 x 14cm). Osprey Talon 42L(69x 31x 27cm) is fine for me, but due to the cost I find that one as a very good option. But and the dimensions of Forclaz trek 100 50L, are 58 x 26 x 26 cm and I'm not sure that it will work for me. On the other hand Osprey's backpack is 6 liters smaller than this one, so Forclaz will meet me requirements. What is your advice?
Sorry for delay... Wow gonna be honest not sure, put it this way if it is a longer duration hike - sounds to me like you are gonna need max space, so possibly this 50L might not be sufficient. I have only used this for day or 1 nighters - anything more than that I would personally want bigger capacity! All the best thanks for watching - Adam 😀
nice review .. how is that central zip holding up? .... would be very interested to here your thoughts 18-ish months on.
Absolutely, good idea - although sadly I haven't been out n about as much as I would have liked - but as yet, still solid 💪 thanks for watching 👍 Adam
Good review
❤️
Are the metal bars removable and then wash it in machine?
Once you have the backpack on and tighten up the shoulder strap system does it stay locked or do you have to adjust it each time you put the bag on?
Sorry for delayed reply - you have probably already purchased - but yes once straps in place, remain in place! All the best 😄
Just love your handle, mid life crisis is where I am at too
..looking forward to learning more from you..if there's is a way to connect I'd love to, I'm in India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much - Hope you enjoyed the video - best wishes from the UK ☺️
This video really helped! Thanks alot man. What are your thoughts now after using this backpack? I'm concerned about the front access middle chain... Is it safe/strong?
Hey you are welcome! That has always been my concern, it is not a heavy duty 'zip' as we call them. But as long as you are careful, the times I have used this sack, up until now it has been ok. Thanks for watching 😀 Adam
i think im getting this one :).thanks
Hope you enjoy it Mark - All the best - Adam 😃
sad it's only available in black.
Thanks for watching
What do they mean by compatible with 2 7L 1/2 Moon storage bags? Where do those go if you buy them?
Hi Nathan soz for late reply - gotta be completely honest - I have absolutely no idea - where does it say that? 🤔
Hi Adam. Thanks for the helpful review. You tipped the scales for me and I'm going to order this bag to give it a shot. In your video you also mention a collapsable (& utterly brilliant) USB tent light. Which light is this?
Thanks Charlie, I hope you get on ok with the bag. Sadly the collapsible light I mention I do not believe is available anymore, I have just scouted Amazon & eBay with no luck - sorry! Thanks for watching 👍 Adam

@@justgetoutthereguy great! Thanks:)
Still happy with it?
Do you think the harness is not too narrow? I was thinking about a similar backpack (75-liter version) and it seemed to me that the shoulder straps narrow too quickly from the top.
Well personally I found it to be fine, but totally an individual thing, important you purchase what feels right for you. Good luck with your quest. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊 Adam

@@justgetoutthereguy thanks!!
How many days did you pack for? Because that food... that’s what I eat in half a day when hiking!!! I have a Decathlon backpack as well (among others). For the price I think there’s nothing wrong with them. It’s a shame sometimes how even grown ups who really should know better get brand washed and go for the name brand even if they know it’s snobbery. The one I have is perfect for traveling as it fits in the overhead compartment in aircraft cabins if you take the brain off. Well thought through for that... and I still did a few three nighters with it with about 45km a day. Wasn’t perfect for that but still better than some other packs that people drag around on the trail. The only thing I try to do nowadays is to find manufacturers who don’t exploit their workers. Not the ones in the retail stores, in the e-stores and not in the factories in the low labor cost markets. And even though Decathlon has moved into the right direction here quite a bit in the last few years, they are still far from fair and have little control over where what fabric or material is coming from. I’m willing to spend some more on a backpack now if a company can convincingly say they are trying to eliminate child labor and produce in countries where minimum safety standards are in place. Fjållråven or Patagonia are of course also trying to make a profit, and Wisport is only assembling in Europe - but it still gives me a better feeling. Good video!
Hi - Thank you so much for watching & taking the time for your comments and views. Yes, I am still really pleased with my pack, sadly due to the lockdown, I have been unable to use it as much as I would have liked. I respect your views on child labor, I confess I perhaps am ignorant of the knowledge of working conditions for a lot of the manufacturing sources of these companies, I like many other consumers, looking more at the price tags as opposed to the origins... Yes, I was a bit minimal on the food - however, the army rations did provide me with adequate sustenance for the one night out! Thanks again for watching - All the best - Adam
Is there too much difference between this model and the tour lite 40+10 from Deuter?
I got the 70 liter version of that bag xD hello weight xD
And that's without using the top straps and barely using the side straps...Impressive, I guess most people carry a bag that's too big.
Yes fair comment, plenty of scope for more... Thanks for watching - Adam
i wonder... where do you put the tent there?
Does it make noises when you hike? And, Does the flap on the top extendable?
No noises, and yes top flat expands with a bigger load - thanks for watching 😀
