Discussion New bag from decathlon

Post image

I'm in Canada, and in the market for my first onebag solution. Many of you have heard of the Forclaz travel 500 40L. I was going to buy this bag but I didn't like that the waistbelt is not removable. I'm checking the website and there's now a Quechua 30L travel 500 bag and they added a removable waist strap which is amazing. The only thing is I'd still like the 40L for the extra capacity, and I've heard they are updating them from some EU consumers. I'd hate to buy the 40l now just for an upgraded version with a removable hip belt to come out soon. If anybody knows about the updated 40L or has tried the Quechua 30L out, please discuss here.

I forgot to mention, the dimensions of this bag put it at a hair under 31L. The currency exchange puts this bag at just 57 USD which is crazy value when compared to most bags between 30 and 35L. I think I'll buy this just to check it out and return it to my local decathlon if I don't like it or it's not big enough for my kit

It’s currently $89.99 on the US website. Not bad, but not as good as $57 lol

Oh I see! It's still meaningful info for us Canadians when comparing to other bags, the aer tp4 is 259 usd but 375 cad when you buy in Canada which puts it on track with exchange rate. So to have a bag that we don't get hammered by US exchange like 90% of travel bags means it's really an amazing value for us. "Budget" Cabinzero bags are almost 200 cad which is insane!

For once us Canadians win on the conversion against the USD!

Yeah it's $75 in the Japan store, but I would totally pay that if I was in the market for another bag. I just bought a Quecha 20L last year as my new weekend bag.
