Decathlon Quechua Rolltop 23L Escape Review

[@lorimcpherson591]

I have this bag and love it. I use the front pocket for my ipad and book on flights. Perfect size for an ipad.

Thanks for the detailed review! I saw this backpack almost a year ago but almost no videos on it. Now I can really see the space inside.

[@PackingLess]

I'm glad to help, Its actually kind of hard to get into the inside because of only has the single zipper on one side

[@MinishMan]

Woah this bag looks great! My 'everyday' bag gets used for everything, from commuting with a laptop, carrying a load of supermarket shopping, some casual hiking to being a flight carry-on. That's a really hard set of requirements to achieve in one bag. Looks like this hits every box for me and thank you for the extremely comprehensive review! I'm going to go try it on tomorrow

[@PackingLess]

Youre welcome, I hope you love it :)

I like the side zip idea. But ive never used a rolltop much to know if the reason why IS that i need zippered access. I love the idea of sizeability of a rolltop and that ultimately if im overfilled inside i could probably still strap a jacket over the top. It seems that maybe they should have made the inside pockets more diagonal to face the side zip access. Or just simply open those pockets on the outside of the main compartment and into the outer "dump"pocket.

That’s one of the cooler rolltop designs I’ve seen, but I agree, I find accessing roll tops really frustrating

Thanks for this video. Very helpful. Made me realize I’m not a fan of roll tops so I might opt for their other bag

[@unaminhkavanagh]

I don’t have a roll top but I do have a Patagonia that opens solely from the top. Personally i got used to mine pretty quickly but I definitely understand that it’s not for everyone who wants to grab things more quickly (also this roll too makes it feel a bit awkward and flimsy! Accessing by the side was definitely a strange design choice 😅

[@PackingLess]

Yeah I have seen other roll or flap tops that have a zip either side and flap down, that is much prefered

[@arijeanz]

thank you so much for the video! it's not covered very much online so I'm glad to see a review. i think I'll be getting one

[@darioprime]

The price is great but that main zipper is too thief friendly. I do like the side waterbottle pockets and that it is not black on black.

[@arijeanz]

thinking of getting this bag and I'm pretty sure ill just sew the bottom zipper (the one that zips upwards) to the backpack or break off the puller or something like that so it can't be used, because i personally don't have any use for it

[@bloodyysweet]

I use this backpack still like new to use rolltop properly you need to tighte the strap as well so it won't look saggy.

[@PackingLess]

Thats true, but I still find the single strap a bit messy looking

[@bloodyysweet]

@@PackingLess there is a most popular version of quechua backpack nh escape 150 16l square no one has uploaded anything on KZbin about its review etc.

[@PackingLess]

Great review!

[@Zsolto66]

A really good video with some excellent explanation and demonstration thank you. Much as I like this colour it went a long way in convincing me that rolltop backpacks are not my thing :) I repeat, your video and review was excellent and a great help, so thanks again, Packing Less :) Zs

[@PackingLess]

Glad I could help, personally rolltops arent for me, but I know they have a place and a following

[@KapilKumarEngg]

Which brand are those toiletries pouch from? Looks nice and sturdy

[@PackingLess]

Its the PGYtech one, I reviewed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIi5eKehbJV5hq8 and you can buy here: amzn.to/3tJUuZR

[@JrKinabalu]

Amazing presentation

[@sifathossen5134]

If i buy 32l will it good for putting good amount of clothes?

[@PackingLess]

Depending on how much you bring yeah. Make sure you roll the clothes and for best results use a packing cube

[@arijeanz]

i have a 30l schoolbag and i think from anywhere to 2-4 days you should be fine. i just make sure to wear my jeans and coat (bulky items) and i only use one pair of shoes. you might even get up to a week if you keep your outfits simple and stuff the bag.
