Backpacker gear 360 review.

For the most part, down performs like down no matter what garment it’s packaged into, and the non-hydrophobic, 800-fill variety in the Trek 100 works just as well as it would in a jacket four times as expensive. (Decathlon, a European retailer, keeps costs down through in-house designs and sheer volume.) When the temps dropped into the low 40s while our tester backpacked in Alaska’s Caines Head State Park, it was all the warmth he needed over a baselayer. The Trek 100 scrunches down (in its own pocket) to the size of a football. It also slips in well under the 10-ounce barrier, which is mind-boggling given that it costs only $80. Thanks to a burly, 15-denier nylon face fabric, this jacket would have scored higher in durability if it weren’t for a dinky main zipper. We found it hard to use, especially in the cold, and prone to separating. (We fixed it easily with a multitool, though.) Feathers stayed in and seams stayed tight over a year of use, and a DWR treatment knocked back light precipitation. Features-wise, the Trek 100 comes with a snug-fitting hood (with a single cinch in back) and a high collar, zippered hand pockets, and a hem cinch. Our only complaint about the fit is that the cuffs feel a bit too tight, especially if you’re wearing a watch.

Robin Mino First of all, I’m totally psyched that there is a down jacket that doesn’t break the bank. It kept me nice and toasty on multiple backpacking trips here in Colorado when temps went down into the low 40s. There is a very generous length to both the trunk and sleeves, which is a feature I absolutely love. I’m happy to report the jacket did not allow that “bottom-of-your-back breeze” when I was bending over or sitting. It was a huge bonus on some brisk mornings. This is a solid jacket in terms of price, fit (no frills, and I like its simplicity), and performance. I would totally buy this jacket, as it performed much better than my other down jackets.

Decathlon Forclaz Trek 100 hiking boot review

The decathlon forclaz trek 100s are pocket-friendly, fuss-free walking boots for more casual use.

Advnture Verdict

A very pocket-friendly choice for casual or new-to-the-trails walkers, and a decent second option if you already own a more rugged and expensive technical boot that’s capable of hoofing at a higher level.

Great value for money

Waterproof enough to wear in rain

Decent grip

Not waterproof enough for prolonged bad weather use

You can trust Advnture Our expert reviewers spend days testing and comparing gear so you know how it will perform out in the real world. Find out more about how we test and compare products.

First impressions

Decathlon’s hiking boots offer some of the best value for money around, and these no-nonsense boots are our top pick from their women’s walking boot range.

The Decathlon Forclaz Trek 100 has a built-in waterproof membrane that we found offered enough protection from steady rain on shorter hikes or dog walks, and the good-looking leather outer material punches above its price point when it comes to suppleness and comfort.

A padded neck offers a nice sock-like fit around the ankles, and the soles offer good enough grip to see you through walks on flatter terrain in fair or foul weather.

The Forclaz Trek 100 isn’t the most breathable boot we tested, and your feet would definitely overheat on a blazing summer’s day, but for a smidge under £60/$90, they offer great value for money for cooler weather adventures.

• RRP: $90 (US) / £60 (UK) • Weight (per boot): 502g /1lb 1.7oz • Materials: Leather and PU upper; Polyester lining; Thermoplastic Polyurethane sole • Colours: Brown • Compatibility: A great first walking boot for day hikes and country bimbles

In the field

We tested the Forclaz Trek 100 from spring to autumn on trails and more relaxed path walking in the UK and Europe. It’s definitely not the most breathable boot we tested, and your feet would overheat on a blazing summer’s day, but it can certainly contend with more expensive casual boots in cooler weather. 

We reckon that on walks under the 10-mile mark the Forclaz is comfortable, bouncy despite its heftier weight, and rainproof enough that you don’t need to worry if the heavens open. There’s a nice flex to the design, and the boots feel like they mold to your feet over time. 

Grip is decent on well-made paths, but didn’t cut the mustard when we ventured onto slippy rock or tougher surfaces such as scree. We rated the cuffs on test, which are comfortable and really hug your ankles, with good laces that you can strap up tightly to two top hooks to offer good support.

For the lightweight pricetag, Decathlon’s Forclaz offers great value for money for cooler weather adventures – this a good casual boot to choose if you already own a more technical mountain-bound boot.

Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Backpack Review

On a recent overnight in Wyoming’s Wind River Range, I tested the Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack by Decathlon which proved a lightweight and comfortable option.

The thought and care put into designing this pack to make it efficient in terms of both features and function is evident. Here are some of the features that stood out:

Easyfit Adjustability

I took the Decthalon Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack on a trip to Wyoming’s Wind River Range. I’m always wary when trying new packs out as they often pull and tug at my shoulders, but I was pleased with how the Forclaz sat on hips.

While carrying a heavy set-up with a full rack and rope, the pack comfortably distributed the load in the proper places.

The shoulder straps are adjustable and can be adjusted by sliding them on the aluminum plates on the back of the pack. The red straps on the side of the pack can be pulled while wearing the pack which made for easy adjustment on the trail.

Compartment Layout

The Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack boasts a thoughtful compartment design. There are five separate compartments in the pack not including the water pouch storage on the side which securely holds a liter bottle. I was most impressed with the center compartment which zips down from the top; this made packing and unpacking gear easy and effortless.

The compartment on the hip belt was the perfect size for snacks and can hold a phone or small or other small personal items for easy access. It’s also worth mentioning that the water bottle pouch on the side was made to last.

It is made with the same durable material as the rest of the pack and securely holds a Nalgene sized bottle (no need to worry about losing your bottle on those steeper, scrambly sections).

Overall Impression

Overall, I appreciated the simplicity of the pack and I truly felt the layout of the compartments made organizing gear a smooth and satisfying process. The Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit 50L Hiking Backpack is a lightweight pack that is an ideal option for anyone looking for a comfortable pack for a weekend backpacking trip. The pack can be purchased here from Decathlon for an astoundingly reasonable price of $119.00 .

This pack is well worth the money. The Easyfit design feature allows the user to adjust the pack to fit securely, and allows for an enjoyable experience on the trail. This feature along with the compartment design and durable materials make the Forclaz Trek 100 a great addition to any backpacker’s arsenal of packs.

Forclaz Trek 100 Easyfit, 70 L Hiking Backpack, Men's

Co-designed with users in the French Alps, this bag offers simplicity and comfort without compromising on its technical features. An eco-designed bag with its bulk-dyed polyester and recycled buckles.

Our team of backpacking enthusiasts designed this easily adjustable 70 L backpack for men on multi-day mountain treks, seeking comfort and simplicity

Volume of 70 liters (4271.7 in³). The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: We fill the main compartment as well as each pocket with little balls. The balls are then emptied into a graduated container in order to determine the equivalent volume in liters, with a margin of error of just a few percentage points.

4.2 lbs The empty weight shown is that of our reference sample. There may be slight variations.

Height: 25.6" Width: 11.8" Depth: 11.8" Compatible with 2 x 15 L 1/2 moon storage bags

EASYFIT system

Our patented Easyfit system allows you to adjust the height of the back and tightness of straps at the same time by pulling on a single strap (on each side). 1. Put on your bag 2. Fasten and tighten the belt 3. Pull the straps (upward) And you're done!

How to pack a backpack

Put your bedding at the bottom. Place the heavy equipment (tent, stove, food) near to your back. Pack your clothes around these items. A ground sheet or tent can be placed under the flap or under the bag (add straps) if they don't fit inside. Keep a waterproof jacket and fleece at hand. Place the small items that you will need during the day (sunscreen, map, glasses, etc) in the pockets. The water bladder can be placed in the compartment generally provided down the back.

Why are our rain covers gray when some trekkers want them to be brightly colored?

The gray color is neutral and therefore uses less dye. The component is made of BITON: this process allows us to lower our carbon footprint and reduce the consumption and water pollution in comparison to the colored models. These small measures demonstrate the commitment of Forclaz to improve the environmental impact of its products.

10-year warranty

Our engineers have conducted tests simulating the aging of backpacks. These tests are conducted on the components, seams and finished product. Forclaz use the results to guarantee the tested bags for a period of 10 years, starting from the date of purchase indicated on the receipt

Forget the teton sports scout - decathlon forclaz trek 100 70l backpack....

Hey Luke. I liked your video on the Forclaz backpack. I wanted to buy one, but they are sold out at the Walmart and the Decathlon web sites. I was wondering if you knew of any other outlets that may sell them. Funny thing... I tried Ebay. They don't have this exact model, but there was another Forclaz model for $60. I got all excited until I saw the shipping was over $90! I saw another pack there for about $90 and the shipping was almost $300!!! Craziness! Anyway, love your channel. New follower. Watched the snow camping video with Suzie and noticed you were still using this backpack. So I figured it's probably worth buying. - John
