Travel Gear: Quechua Rucksack

Summer’s upon us, and it’s time to escape to the hills. Why not take your hills escapade to the next level, literally, by throwing in some camping and trekking? If that sounds appealing, it’s a good idea to hit the nearest Decathlon store and drool over their collection of outdoor gear. We found one item particularly exciting: the Quechua Symbium Access 70L+10 hiking rucksack. Weighing less than 3kg, it has a capacity of 70 litres plus an additional 10-litre pocket, allowing you to carry pretty much anything you will need by way of essentials—and then some. It has foam for ventilation, and multiple straps, including a hip belt that will prevent the bag from feeling too heavy. It comes with a reassuring decade-long warranty. ₹9,999; decathlon.in
