QUECHUA by Decathlon Large 70 L Backpack TRAVEL BACKPACK70-LITRE  (Grey)

Our Forclaz 70 Travel Backpack is a bag designed for backpacking and traveling around the world. This rucksack with 70 litre of volume is a perfect choice in affordable price and best quality for the purpose. This Rucksack can also be used as a trekking backpack if you need to load your bags in a mule and not carry at your back becaus the back support system is designed for travel and backpacking and not for uneven mountain trekking trails. How to pack your bag for optimal comfort? Put your bedding at the bottom. Put heavier gear (tent, stove, food) closest to your back. Pack your clothes around these items. The groundsheet can be placed under the flap; the tent goes under the bag if it doesn't fit inside. Keep your waterproof jacket and fleece to hand. In the pockets, distribute the smaller items that you use during the day (sun cream, map, sunglasses, etc). If carrying a hydration pack (water bladder), this should be placed in its special pocket along the back. How to adjust the height of your backpack? Place the adjustment system at the height you think is correct then adjust the backpack (see. "How to adjust your backpack"). With the belt on the pelvis, put the straps around the front part of your shoulders and the load adjuster straps (sometimes also height-adjustable) at an angle of around 45° (they should never be horizontal or vertical). If during fitting, the back seems too short or too long, readjust it and try again, until it feels absolutely right. How to adjust your 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. For smaller backpacks, position the belt around your waist. Tighten the shoulder straps. Finally, adjust the load adjusters to suit. How is backpack volume measured? The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardised method: we fill the main compartment as well as each pocket with little balls. We then empty the balls into a graduated container to measure the equivalent volume in litres within a few percentage points. The net weight is that of our reference sample. There may be slight variations.
