Quechua NH550 20L Hiking Backpack – Lightweight & Durable for Outdoor Adventures

Our motivation? To offer you a comfortable, accessorized backpack to make the most of your hikes! You will find a pocket to keep your picnic cool and a telephone pocket.

Our team of hikers designed this NH550 20 liter backpack to go with you on your day-long hikes in the forest or along the coast!

How is 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 these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in liters.

How to adjust your backpack?

1 – Loosen all the straps (straps, belt, load adjuster straps)
2 – Put on the backpack
3 – Tighten the shoulder straps
4 – Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed

How to fill your backpack?

Put your heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece within arm’s reach. Place small items for daily use (sunblock, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets. The water bladder will be placed in the compartment provided along the back, and the water bottle in the outer flask holder pockets provided for this purpose.

Developed based on your feedback, tested with hikers

This bag was designed based on all the customer feedback and hikers’ observations.
Indeed, the idea is to separate and keep your picnic cool when hiking, while separating it from other belongings (clothing, wallet, telephone, etc.).
This bag has been tested by many hikers and has enabled us to test its functions and make a few improvements.

Laboratory tested

We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag’s components: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zippers. For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, colorfastness when exposed to UV light and washing, and waterproofing. We also conduct tests to check the resistance of assembly using a dummy that reproduces the movements of a hiker to replicate several years of wear and tear on the bag.

Eco-design

We used environmentally responsible processes and components to design this backpack.
The inside fabric is greige (undyed) but retains its strength.
The outer component uses a dyeing process that requires less water depending on the colors (dark gray).

A score for comparing the products’ environmental impact

The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire lifecycle and using various indicators. A score from A to E is provided in order to easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks). Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental information of its products.
