You don't have to cut the waist belt off. There is another brilliant feature that made me get it right away and I was passing this backpack just because of this... There are pockets just where these waist belts come out and you can tuck them there out of sight. This backpack is unbelievable
It is an AMAZING little rucksack which I have carried tucked up free as underseat baggage with compressed gear inside. I walked from Madrid north for two weeks with it on the Camino. The loops are good for pulling when you're bored and fed up with the position. I loved it and it was 17 euros. There is little not to like about this bargain. I hope Decathlon keep the model going.
Ive been Using one of these for over 3 years (older model, back part is slightly different). its definitely been on overnights!! love it and still going strong
This is my best day hike bag. Summer or winter. At this price point I absolutely love the straps for a mat and those trekking poles/ice axe Just today ordered another one in complete green and now I have three of these❤
I've been using the 20l one for years. I've not been very nice to it and used it a lot. So far NOTHING broke or even shows signs or wear. So I bought the 30l one and the 10l one. These backpacks are virtually for free and they last forever (at least my 20l one).
I got one of these and its dirt cheap and a good weekender bag that might pass on as a "personal item". Im planning to get another one which I could strap down my tent, chuck in my sleeping bag and some survival stuff and be my go-bag.
It's a brilliant bag for the money and decathlon really do make some brilliant gear for not alot off money trust me iv got alot of gear from this brand and it's all quality gear 👍👍👍👍
Hi Martin, I'm also wanting to carry my Lanshan 2 on the outside of my 34l Osprey as part of a lightweight summer kit. One question, which I am sure has a simple answer, is what is your method of carrying the (very slippery) Lanshan on the outside and keeping it in place?
Hi Paul, you know how the bag the lanshan goes in has the straps on it to comress it, they run down the length of the bag, i put the rucksack straps through them, i also use a caribiner to attach to the bag, that way i know not going to fall off without me knowing.
The answer to this question is what's brought me to this pack review. I've come across a forum where a reviewer said that this pack passed the size test whereas the Osprey incurred an extra fee. Any conformation?
If it’s not waterproof then you’ll have problems with the humidity and it will rot quickly, and depending what weight you’re carrying that could exacerbate the problem. These are built for day/overnight usage and I don’t think it’d be convenient for a 6 Month journey which I’m guessing will be fully laden weight wise.
Even with replenishing supplies every couple of days, I wouldn't bother with anything other than a 60l or more. This pack basically has to be combined with ultralight gear to work for an overnight camping trip. Two days? There isn't a light enough piece of gear to make that happen with this pack unless you enjoy eating leaves lol. You never know when a piece of gear will fail either. If a core component, such as your tent, fails mid trip, you will have to replace it with whatever you can find nearby. Usually that means a much larger, and heavier substitute. If you are maxing out a pack with light gear and you are forced to replace it with something heavy and bulky, your trip is over.
I’m smashed, and watching this. Every review by a guy with a British accent and dry British humor …. It’s great but it it isn’t , it good at this. But it isn’t . Maybe it’s ok for something else , no commitment , I think this is a great review

Hi is this backpack big enough for traveling 6 months through asia?
That’s hard to say as I don’t know how much gear you will carry

These bags are so good for the price. They might be selling these at a loss😂
You can't go far wrong for that kind of money!

Where? I think that it is more expensive now (in Decathlon Brasil)
Yesterday it increased to £38...
