Hello /out/
I am in search of a good hiking backpack around 48-55L
should be suitable for a 4 day-ish hiking trip in the alps
I have used my sisters' REI Co-op Trail 40 Pack for a couple of trips but I finally want to get my own one that's bigger and more suitable for longer hikes
where I live doesn't have a lot of stores that sell these, so I'll probably have to get them from amazon or something
all recommendations are welcome~

I already owned some backpack and I'm really satisfied with this one.

how is the build quality? I know some decathlon stuff can be subpar, I am aiming for something that will last

A 10 years warranty, that should answer your question.

This backpack is better than the osprey exos for a bit cheaper.

I bought it for my trek in the Pyrénées the next year.

I have the Forclaz 70l backpack, I'd say it is very high quality for the price. It goes for 100€ now, but I think I got it for 90€ more than two years ago. I've used it for travelling with a fully loaded pack with more than 20kg in it, so it can definitely take a beating. If this bag is anyhow average for Decathlon, I'd say they make the best cheap shit you can get in Europe. You could probably order some stuff from AliExpress or get lucky with random retailers like Lidl or Aldi as they sometimes also sell cheap camping gear that isn't far off from Decathlon.

I want a 45-55L middle ground ultralight pack. Customizing a ULA CDT with the Ohm frame/suspension/removable belt/bottom straps/compression straps would be perfect but they want like $350 is there a cheaper good option.
For ultralight section hiking my pack weights are very low but I need a frame because le bad back.

Have you considered something like an Osprey Exos, Gregory Focal, or ZPacks Arc Haul?

get someone's used ula ohm for $100-150 on reddit ulgeartrade board you may just have to be a little patient for sizing or options you want cause they're customizable. look for one with bottom straps for a tent.
they're cheap as fuck if you're not picky and autistic like me.
the decathlon and ohm'll both do you up to like 20-25lbs before they get uncomforrable and 30 max. both will be very sameish but the ula will weigh 2.1lbs vs 4.4lbs because its better designed. but you need to go through the hassle of buying used to get it as cheap as the decathlon. i would highly recommend ohm if you have the time to buy second hand, its known to be thru hike quality and shug approved.

if you have time to shop around second hand buy a ula ohm instead of the decathlon pack. they're virtually the same in comfort weight, max weight, capacity, durability etc but the ula is 2.1lbs and the decathlon is 4.4lbs.
you can get ohms all day long for $100-150 on plebbit /r/ulgeartrade just look for the right size and look for one with the external carry straps for a tent underneath.

yeah the decision has been "mini ohm with all the design flaws fixed custom" vs arc haul 50L so far.

i wonder if zpacks would sell me one with stretchy mesh instead of the style they use. and real ice axe loops, it may as well be useless to me without a good ice axe loop.
