Thanks to your feedback, we improved the design of the 10 litre Arpenaz NH 50 Hiking Backpack.
We added a double zipper 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. 
And of course, the price hasn’t increased!

Your opinion is important to us!

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?

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.). 

How to pack your backpack

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 our website.

Quechua backpack: 10-year warranty

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

Tested for optimal durability

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

How to adjust your backpack

The water-repellent components allow you to continue walking or hiking in light rain for short periods. Note: This backpack is not watertight or waterproof and does not come with a rain cover. 
To keep your belongings dry on longer walks or hikes, we recommend the following product: 10 L to 20 L Hiking Backpack Rain Cover (reference 8772113), which can be found on our website.

Zipper Type

Fleece with large plush loops called "brushed fleece" can trap air. The natural insulating power keeps body heat in. The additional benefit of this fleece: its high collar keeps the neck warm.

Why does a fleece keep you warm?

We carry out 2 types of thermal testing:
On the fleece materials and with a thermal mannequin in a climate chamber. The comfort of this sweater is between 7 and 10°C.

How is warmth measured?

The fleece is equipped with a breathable component. It can effectively wick away perspiration while keeping you warm. This means you stay dry and comfortable even during intense exercise.

Why make a breathable fleece?

This fleece jacket has a fitted cut without being too tight. For optimal protection from the cold, we recommend wearing a technical base layer underneath. It is worn under our windproof and waterproof jackets. Choose your usual size. 

What is the fit of this fleece sweater?

We test the durability of our fleeces to guarantee:
- Resistance to abrasion from your backpack and arm movements to delay pilling
- The durability of the seams
- Durability after several washes
- Colourfastness (washing, UV, sweat)

Was this fleece’s resistance tested?

What sizes are available?

To machine wash your fleece without damaging it, choose a 40°C max. temperature. Turn inside out before washing. Don’t exceed a 1,000 rpm spin cycle to protect the fabric. Do not tumble dry.

Care

Moisture management

The synthetic fabric wicks moisture and dries quickly.

Stretch knit (without spandex) for greater ease of movement

Ideal for regular hiking. The breathable fabric wicks away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Customization

This T-shirt has a slightly fitted, athletic cut to wick moisture to the outside of the fabric. Choose your usual size or one size up if you prefer a looser fit.

What is the fit of the MH 500 short-sleeved T-shirt?

Different criteria are used to measure the fabric’s ability to wick away perspiration and dry quickly: fabric absorption power, quick drying, etc. 
Level 1/5 is suitable for low-intensity activities that don’t generate much sweat. All our hiking T-shirts have a performance between 3 and 4/5. This MH 500 T-shirt has a performance of 4/5.

How is the moisture-wicking capacity of the MH 500 Hiking T-Shirt tested? 

Double-sided fleece (200 g/m²) offers insulation from the cold. High collar.

Breathable polyester knit allows perspiration to evaporate. Full-length zipper.

2 zippered hand pockets to safely store personal items.

This thin, compressible micro-fleece takes up little space in your backpack.

Its high collar and double-sided insulation keep you warm in cool temperatures between 7°C and 10°C.

This fleece sweatshirt is fitted yet comfortable. We recommend wearing a technical undergarment as a base layer for added protection from the cold. This fleece sweatshirt was designed to be layered under a windproof or waterproof jacket, such as our Women’s MH 100 Hiking Jacket. Choose your usual size.

The fleece component is designed to trap air, which acts as a natural insulator to keep the body warm. 

How does the fabric insulate you from the cold?

We perform two kinds of tests to measure the warmth of our fleece:
- a material test 
- tests on a thermal manikin in a thermal chamber We reproduce wind (5 km/h), temperature, and humidity conditions typically encountered in the mountains on a 5 km/h hike.
These laboratory tests determine the design, which is then validated by field testers. 
This fleece will keep you comfortable at temperatures ranging from 7°C to 10°C, with no extra layer.

Our hiking fleece is tested for guaranteed durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to pilling due to backpack use and body movement
- durable seams
- resistance to washing
- colourfastness after washing, exposure to UV light, or contact with perspiration

How is durability tested?

Schmerber

The component isn’t the only thing that makes these pants waterproof: the assembly also makes a difference.
The overall waterproof properties of your rain pants are measured with a shower test developed by Decathlon that simulates rain of varying intensity.
The Raincut Waterproof Rain Pants protect you from small showers equivalent to 6 cm (2.4”) of rain in 1 hour.

To maintain water repellency, we recommend regular reactivation. 
Reactivate water repellency after three washes (remember to rinse thoroughly) or after using a dozen times in the rain. 
You can easily reactivate water repellency by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) - with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm (8”), twice
- with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

Performance in the rain

The fabric is breathable: RET = 12.
Component breathability is measured by thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
RET refers to a fabric’s capacity to let perspiration evaporate. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.   
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

Fabric breathability

This product is designed for hikes lasting several hours while walking at a pace of no more than 5 km/h (3 mph).
How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your activity.If the fabric isn’t breathable enough for the type of exercise, your perspiration will condense inside the item.The jacket will feel damp inside.This dampness is not rain soaking through the shell but condensation caused by perspiration.This means you need to choose rain pants suitable for your activity.

Choosing waterproof rain pants based on physical effort

The fabric is stretchy and very comfortable.

Durable fabric inserts. Ultra-durable Coats thread.

Light, breathable fabric in low-friction areas.

Dual-component structure

These pants have water-repellent zones (lower leg and seat) that prevent water from seeping through the fabric. This product is water-repellent, not waterproof.
The water-repellent pants don’t get wet too fast, but they won’t keep you dry in pouring rain. To restore the water repellent property, tumble dry on low heat for 10 minutes.
