16 L Hiking Backpack - NH Escape 500 Black

Good 👍

Very good school backpack, durable, many pockets

The weight of the backpack does not feel heavy with clothes, slippers, laptop and such! Love it!

I am very satisfied with this product the quality, storage capacity and price are excellent.

Excellent compact backpack with wide range of utilities

Perfect size for personal item when flying. Attaches to my carry on suitcase for easy transport. Good size for day use.

Firstly I loved the colour of this bag, and although compact, it has plenty of room inside for a day walk and isn’t cumbersome to carry. I like the outer pocket for carrying a drinks bottle, keeps it secure so it won’t fall out if running or bending over.

In late 2023, I purchased the NH500 16l backpack and found it to be an exceptionally good everyday use pack because of the multitude of pockets and the overall 16/17 l capacity. This also makes it a great personal carry bag for the budget airlines. I was so impressed that som

e weeks later, I bought the larger 23l version, which is equally as good but a bit hit & miss for personal carry due to the larger size depending upon the fastideoness of the check-in crew. In Jan 2025, I decided to buy another 16l also in grey but was very surprised to see that 3 pockets have disappeared when compared to my original. Another reviewer (Chloe) mentioned this but seemed to think that it only applied to the yellow version. Well, my grey one also has these 3 handy little pockets missing and although not a deal btraker I'm confused as to why Decathlon would have removed them, particularly the zipper pocket within the 1st folding flap which also had the key holder within it (as it made key storage much safer) and the little zipper adjacent to the bottle holder. I'm presuming that this is a redesign across the 16l range, presumably to shave off a bit of cost.

Great bag for gym and work

We bought this as a carry on bag for my son when going on holiday. It was perfect for the plane. He now uses it for school and the different compartments are great to separate his books, snacks and water.
