Main Material

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: the main compartment and all the pockets are filled with little balls. These balls are then emptied into a graduated container to get the equivalent volume in litres.

How is volume measured?

- Loosen all the straps (shoulder straps, belt, load adjusters)
- Put on the backpack
- Tighten the shoulder straps
- Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed

How to adjust your backpack

Put heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items.
Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece in an easy-to-access location.
Place small, frequently used items in the pockets (sunscreen, map, glasses, etc.). Put your water bladder in the compartment provided along the back and water bottles in the external pockets.

How to pack your backpack

The backpack’s components are validated in the lab: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, and zippers. For example, we test the fabric’s resistance to abrasion and tearing, colourfastness when subjected to UV light and washing, and waterproofing. We also check the resistance of its construction using a dummy that reproduces a hiker’s movements to replicate several years of wear and tear.

Tested for durability and optimal resistance

Thanks to your feedback, we have improved the design of our NH 100 20-L (4.5 gal) backpack.
The main zipper on this new backpack has been improved so it’s easier to open. We have also added a compartment and a zippered pocket in the main pocket.

Hiking Backpacks and Travel Bags

Flexible material with a rounded shape to reduce noise and absorb shocks.

Cushioning

100% rubber material with a knobby pattern for grip and traction.

Grip

Designed to last. Abrasion- and perforation-resistant rubber. 

They fit Quechua and Forclaz poles. Do not come off while walking.

Red so that it's easily spotted if it comes off Knobby pattern indicating wear

Prevents the tip of the pole from causing injury or damaging belongings.

Content protection

Designed to protect a hiking pole tip from wear during repeated impacts on the ground.

Entirely designed and validated during a one-year collaboration with 14 users, from the drafting of the specifications to the prototype validation tests, including the choice of the colour.
Thank you to Serge, Evelyne, Olivier, Thomas, Perrine, and everyone else!

Design

We worked on its durability by choosing a rubber formulation that is highly resistant to abrasion and deformation.
Our laboratory tests show that it wears 3 times less than the previous model (average abrasion at ambient and hot temperatures).
To maximize durability, we also opted for a deep knobby pattern.


In addition to its durability, the rubber material of this cap has a higher grip coefficient on hard ground (road, stones, tree roots).
The V-shaped knobs are designed to provide good grip on soft ground (dirt, mud).

Our other technical choices

Push the cap forcefully onto the tip so the flexible material adapts to the tip. It is important to hit the ground hard 2 to 3 times to ensure full insertion.
The grip on the pole tip has been designed so that the cap does not come off easily when walking. The grip is best on a clean tip but decreases if there is any dust or moisture on the tip.
To remove it, pull it off with a twisting motion. This will make it much easier to remove.

How to fit this cap on Quechua and Forclaz poles

How to adjust your pole

-> The minimum setting of 75 cm (30”) is suitable for a child who is 100 cm (3’2”) tall on average.
-> The maximum setting of 100 cm (39”) is suitable for a child who is 145 cm (4’7”) tall on average.

This is a general guideline only and may vary from one child to another.

Which size to choose for your child?

Before leaving on a hike: always check that your poles are properly assembled.
When going downhill or when the climb is very steep, you can make your poles longer.
When going downhill, remove the wrist strap so that the pole doesn’t get in your way in the event of a fall.
   

Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, this pole is manufactured by our suppliers in Vietnam and China.
We collaborate closely with these partners who have specialist knowledge in manufacturing poles. 
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.

Where do our poles come from?

We guarantee that our suppliers comply with our code of conduct. These suppliers are often located in developing countries where our presence helps to create jobs.
By conducting audits and having teams on site, we make sure that the working environment of the employees meets certain quality standards in terms of human respect, personal fulfilment, and environmental protection.

This durable hiking pole is designed to support you on long hikes.

Foldable

Designed and validated on real hikes: Mont Blanc in France, Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
The pole’s durability was also tested on 550-km test missions on the Canary Islands and in the Pyrenees (GR10).

You go hiking to enjoy a break from civilization and get out in nature. You may carry your belongings for several days. That’s why you need a reliable pole.
We selected wider tubes in the highest grade aluminum. We secured the pushpin area with internal reinforcement. Compression test results (pressure on the pole axis) show that this model can support 560 N (~56 kg) per pole.

Why did we work so hard on durability?

Before you begin your hike, you might have to travel by bus or plane. You’ll also have to carry all your equipment in your bag. Compact poles are easy to pack. When collapsed, this pole can fit in the side pocket of a hiking backpack.

Why focus on making it compact?

We chose EVA foam, a soft material that’s resistant to perspiration and doesn’t tear easily.
We added a long grip below the handle for a lower hold when walking uphill and on banking terrain.
The knob is the most comfortable in the product line, with its elongated round shape and soft material. It is easily gripped from above.
The wrist strap is not too thick and has fewer seams, to prevent blisters.

How was the handle designed?

Using the pole: Extend the pole until the pushpin clicks. Refer to the instructions attached to the pole.
To adjust the length: While holding the grip of your pole, your arm should bend at a 90-degree angle. 
- open the outer lever
- slide the tube to the desired length
- close the lever
Never go past the Stop line, which could cause the pole to break.

How to adjust your poles to the correct length

This hiking pole is designed to help you balance, propel yourself, and distribute weight between arms and legs.
To be on the safe side, check before you set off and at regular intervals that your pole is locked in place by simulating heavy bumps. If you notice that your pole keeps sliding out of place, the locking mechanism turn ring needs adjusting. Open the lever and turn the knob a quarter to a half turn.
Do not put it on your backpack in case of a storm.

Directions

Proper maintenance of your pole will ensure that it functions optimally and that it lasts longer.
After use, if water has penetrated the pole, remove the strands and allow them to dry. If necessary, clean the dust or mud with water or a dry brush. Once dry, you can reassemble the strands.
We recommend that you do not attempt to oil or grease the mechanisms.

Care instructions

Decathlon sells hiking and trekking poles individually. This is because they are used in different ways. Some people prefer to use only one pole. For users who prefer to use a pair, they can replace one broken pole without having to buy a new pair.

Why is the pole sold individually?

The advantage of buying Forclaz hiking poles is that you have a wide choice of compatible accessories and spare parts. This lets you enjoy it for as long as possible.

How to use the SH 100 Easy Snowshoes

Choose snowshoes based on the wearer’s weight (including the weight of their backpack) so they remain on the surface of the snow. This is known as lift. Different snowshoe sizes are available for various user weights and hiking practices.
Our advice for the SH 100 Easy Snowshoes: 

40 to 75 kg: medium deck, size M
60 to 90 kg: large deck, size L

Choose snowshoes according to your weight:

Size M
Width: 19 cm. Length: 48 cm. 
Size L
Width: 20 cm
Length: 56 cm. 

SH 100 Easy Snowshoe dimensions

We strongly recommend that you use poles for better stability when snowshoeing, especially if you intend to walk on slopes (uphill, downhill, etc.) or on powder snow where you could sink. There are 2 types of baskets. Choose large baskets so the poles remain on the surface.

Using poles for increased stability when snowshoeing

We tend to overdress when hiking in the snow because we don’t want to get cold. However, once you get moving, you will heat up quickly.
Use the three-layer technique. 
This technique keeps you comfortable whatever your level of intensity: remove clothing when it’s warm and put it back on when it’s colder or during breaks. If you are too hot, you will sweat more, which will cool you down during breaks or when hiking downhill.

Choose breathable clothing for snowshoeing

Whatever your cold-weather activity, use the three-layer technique:
Layer 1: A high-tech base layer to wick moisture away from the body and keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: A fleece or sweater to provide warmth and transfer moisture outward.
Layer 3: A jacket to protect against the elements (rain, snow, and wind). 
To eliminate moisture, the whole outfit must be breathable.

Dress using the three-layer technique

For snowshoeing, you need warm, waterproof, breathable high-top hiking boots. Choose boots with good grip for areas where you will remove your snowshoes (in the parking lot or if there is not enough snow).

Choosing your footwear

For off-piste hiking, make sure you are equipped with maps, a compass and/or GPS, an Avalanche Victim Detector, a shovel, and a probe. This equipment allows you to be found if you are caught in an avalanche or if you need to search for a victim. Do not forget to review safety basics.

Safety first!

How to choose your snowshoes?

Dense foam grip, long 3D design. Comfortable knob. Soft wrist strap.

Inside screw adjustment system. Unlockable anti-shock system. 105 to 130 cm. 

3 telescopic sections. Collapsed length: 64 cm. Collapsed width: ~5 cm.

7075-T6 aluminum. Tube diameter 18/16/14 mm. Tungsten tip.

Summer basket supplied. Many accessories and service parts available separately.

This anti-shock pole was designed for hiking and trekking enthusiasts who practice intensively on rough mountain terrain.

This model was designed and validated by our Mont Blanc team.
To deliver on our anti-shock promise, we chose to integrate a spring into the screw tightening system.
Next, we added a handle that’s powerful and comfortable regardless of your hand position: along the tube for climbs and steep terrain, with the wrist strap for efficient pushing, and on the knob for descents.


How it was designed

While holding the grip of your pole, your arm should bend at a 90-degree angle.
To do this: - Unscrew the middle section, find the length of pole you want, and screw back tightly.
- Tighten further (a half turn) if you notice your pole is collapsing.
- Do the same with the lower section.
Never go over the Stop line to avoid breaking the pole.

This hiking pole is designed to help you balance, propel yourself, and distribute weight between arms and legs.
To be on the safe side, check before you set off and at regular intervals that your pole is locked in place by simulating heavy bumps. If you notice that your pole tends to collapse, tighten it further by a half turn.
Do not put it on your backpack in case of a storm.

Directions for use

At Decathlon, we decided to sell our hiking and trekking poles individually. This is primarily because of how they are used. Some people prefer to use only one pole. Also, if one of your poles breaks, this means you only have to buy one and not a complete pair.
