Cheapest Forclaz Travel 500 50L Hiking Backpack for Men – Lightweight & Durable

A backpack specially-designed and developed for backpackers with a large integrated opening on the back of the bag, pockets that can be padlocked and a detachable shoulder bag.

Our backpack designers created this bag for going anywhere in the world on foot for weeks with complete peace of mind

How to fill my bag for optimal comfort?

Put your bedding at the bottom. Near your back, place heavy equipment (tent, stove, food). Pack your clothes around these items. The groundsheet can be placed under the flap; the tent under the bag if there’s no space inside. Keep a waterproof jacket and fleece to hand. In the pockets, place small items for the day (sunscreen, map, glasses…). The water bladder can be placed in the compartment generally provided down the back.

The Easyfit system

This intuitive patented system allows you to adjust your bag to suit your body shape, in a single step, without having to remove it: for maximum comfort.

How to adjust your backpack?

To start, LOOSEN all the straps (shoulder straps, belt, load adjusters).
Then, put the bag on and PLACE THE BELT ON THE HIPS (it must cover the pelvic bones around the hips) to TIGHTEN.
Finally, PULL THE EASYFIT TOGGLES and the shoulder strap block should position itself around your shoulders.
Finally, just ADJUST THE LOAD ADJUSTERS to get the perfect fit for your back.

Tests carried out by our Research and Development departments on the efficiency of the EasyFit system

User-friendly design: effective adjustment time 2.3 times shorter with the Easyfit backpack; and number of times you have to readjust = 0 for the Easyfit bag. Does not affect the quality of adjustment compared to a bag with standard adjustment: EasyFit was rated significantly more comfortable in the Friedmann statistical test, 4%; with 6 times as many backpacks correctly adjusted.

How is backpack volume measured?

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: we fill the main compartment as well as each pocket with little balls. Then we empty the balls into a graduated container, which gives us the equivalent volume in liters, with a tolerance of a few percent.
The empty weight shown is that of our reference sample. There may be slight variations.

A score for comparing the products’ environmental impact

The product’s environmental footprint is calculated over its entire lifespan using various indicators. An overall ABCDE rating is given to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing and contrasting products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.).
Decathlon actively promotes this environmental rating initiative.
