Some practical advice on how to use the trekking transport bag

How to adjust the trekking travel bag

It is very important to adjust the bag when it is on your back to ensure that it fits properly, ensures the best possible walking comfort and does not damage your back.
Use the straps to adjust the bag so that it remains close to your back and doesn't swing about irritatingly as you walk.

How to pack the trekking travel bag

In order to pack the trekking travel bag properly, you must take care to follow the recommendations below:
- Do not store fragile objects at the bottom of the bag as they could get damaged when you put the bag on the ground.
- Do not load hard objects in the part of the bag that touches your back, as this will make the pack uncomfortable to carry.

At each end of the Duffel 500 Extend travel bags, there are 2 interior mesh pockets (3 on the Duffel Bag 900 Extend WP). They are useful for transporting and organising small objects. The Duffel 500 Extend also has an outside pocket.

What guarantees are there on my travel bag?

Decathlon backpacks are designed to be strong and durable and undergo extensive testing (components, seams and finished product) to ensure that they serve you for as long as possible.
We offer a 10-year guarantee on all our backpacks from the date on the receipt.

Is my travel bag waterproof and durable?

Most of our Duffel Extend 500 bags are water repellent but not waterproof. You can still protect your bags with a rain cover.

Only our red Duffel Bag Extend 900 WP 80/120L is waterproof (IPX4 waterproof level).

Our bags are particularly durable thanks to the special fabrics and reinforced seams in particular.

REPAIRING A HOLE OR A TEAR ON THE TREKKING TRAVEL BAG

If there is a small hole on the front or bottom of your bag, you can easily repair it by adding a patch or a piece of adhesive tape (rounded shape that is one or two cm longer than the hole). We advise you to apply it on the inside as well as the outside.
If the hole is bigger, go to a cobbler and take advantage of his expertise to give your backpack a second life.
