Our hiking designers created this NH Arpenaz 50 10-litre backpack for your occasional hikes on lowlands, in the forest or on the coast.
Our motivation? To offer you a 10-litre backpack at an affordable price so you can carry essential items safely on all trails with gentle slopes.
- Carrying comfortPadded back and straps | Thumb rests
- Pockets1 main compartment with a double zip | 1 deep outer compartment
- Abrasion resistanceDurable, abrasion-resistant components and assemblies | 10-year warranty
- VentilationSimple back | No ventilation system
- Ease of useEasy access to the outside pocket by putting the bag horizontally when hiking
- The volume of each backpack is measured using a standard 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 litres.
- 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
- 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 (sun cream, map, glasses, etc.) in the pockets.
- The components of the bag are water-repellent so that you can temporarily continue walking/hiking in light rain. Caution: this backpack is not watertight/waterproof and it does not have a rain cover. If you want to continue walking/hiking in the rain and protect your belongings, we recommend the following model: "10 to 20L rain cover", which can be viewed on our website, item reference 8772113.
- We carry out several laboratory tests to validate the bag's components: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, zips. For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, colour fastness 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.
- Thanks to your feedback, we have improved the construction and design of our backpack. On this new model, we have added a double zip on the main compartment and a larger pocket bottom on the outside pocket. The aim is to not lose your belongings when opening your bag. Of course, we haven't increased the price!
- At Decathlon, all of our Quechua backpacks are guaranteed for 10 years against normal product wear and tear. In the case of a defect, we recommend its repair, replacement, or a refund. The guarantee covers the components from the zip to the seams: more information can be found on the support section of the Decathlon website.
