Main Material

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.

Quechua backpack: 10-year warranty.

This backpack has a large compartment for your essentials, two zippered pockets, one with an inner pocket for your valuables. A stretchy mesh pocket on the side also fits your water bottle or umbrella.

What is its storage capacity?

By developing your product, we have enhanced the comfort with adjustable straps and vertical foam pads on the back. The ventilated fabric on the back and straps provides better ventilation. As a bonus: thumb loops.

How comfortable is this backpack?

This backpack is water-repellent. In light rain, water will roll off without penetrating it. However, it is not completely waterproof. If the rain goes on too long or is too heavy, water will seep through. For extra protection, choose our 10–20 L rain cover (ref. 8772113).

Built-in windproof membrane for maximum protection.

Protection from weather

Comfortable from 7°C to 10°C as a second layer. Brushed fleece on the inside.

Close-fitting cut. The jacket’s inner volume allows you to wear it over a thin second layer such as a micro-fleece.

Sizing information

2 hand pockets + 1 chest pocket with zipper.

Pocket system

The wind can make you feel considerably colder.
When the outside temperature is 0°C, winds of 20 km/h make the temperature feel like -10°C.
Windproof components fight the discomfort associated with this freezing effect. Windproof elements form a barrier against the wind and effectively reduce heat loss.

Thermal comfort and wind proofing

Jacket hem drawstring.

The main fabric used throughout the jacket, except at the sides, has a windproof membrane with a breathability of 2814 g/sqm for 24 h (according to the JIS 1099 A standard).

A fabric’s water repellency refers to its ability to shed water without absorbing it.
This keeps the fabric from soaking up water so the jacket stays lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface; however, this property may deteriorate with use.
 
 

Water repellency (different from waterproofing)

Waterproofing spray for leather and fabric.
 Wash-in waterproofing product restores the water-repellent properties.
It optimizes the performance of your garment throughout its lifetime.

Packaging

Wool fibres can store a lot of air and let water vapour escape, making wool an excellent choice for moisture management and thermal regulation. Wool’s ability to store and release moisture make it an insulating, comfortable material for hiking socks.

The properties of wool

The merino wool, from Spain, has been a carefully selected breed for generations because of its wool. It provides a softer fibre than traditional wool. After shearing, the wool is cleaned to remove impurities, then carded, spun, and finally used for knitting or weaving.

What is merino wool?

Merino wool offers an unbeatable experience: soft, lightweight, and breathable. Thanks to its fine fibres, it provides natural thermal regulation. It keeps your feet warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.

What are the benefits of merino wool?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend: 
- Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool). 
- Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and, to minimize moisture, make sure they’re breathable.
- Boot height: the height of your socks should correspond to the height of the boot: for more protection, choose higher socks.

How do I choose the right footwear for hiking in the snow?

These socks come in packs of 2 pairs of matching socks.

Pack of 2 pairs

The stretchy fabric means these socks conform to your feet and stay firmly in place. Given that the length, width and volume of our feet is always different, we advise trying on your socks in store before purchase, and testing them before going on a long hike.
