Why This £35 Hiking Backpack from Decathlon Is My New Favourite Tech Bag

An Unexpected Find!

A few months ago, I was out shopping to find a new backpack to take hiking with me.

After visiting numerous stores, I decided to buy the Quechua Escape 500 from Decathlon. Not only did this backpack fit my budget, but it also met my requirements in terms of size and pockets.

Little did I know, it was going to become my everyday tech backpack.

In this article, I will talk about how a backpack I bought for hiking trips ended up becoming my everyday tech backpack, and I will be sharing my thoughts and opinions on it.

So, without any further ado…

First Impressions

One of the first things that caught my attention when I came across this bag was the design. I thought it looked pretty cool, and it felt like a decent quality bag.

I liked that it had a lot of pockets including a dedicated laptop compartment as well as a smaller compartment perfect for an iPad. But I don’t think much of it back then as I wasn’t planning to use it to carry my laptop.

I also liked that including the laptop compartment there was also one big main compartment and a smaller one in the front of the bag.
