Suitable backpacks for hiking and trekking tours

Regardless of whether you are planning a day trip or are out in nature for several days - the right equipment is a key factor in whether the hike is successful. A suitable backpack is indispensable. Low weight, the right pack size and additional features are just a few of the criteria you should consider before buying. A robust and lightweight yarn that can reliably survive mountain and camping adventures and is also water and dirt repellent is essential.

For a day trip, a small backpack is usually sufficient, as you can easily store suitable clothing, provisions and maps. If you also have a sleeping bag, stove and other camping equipment, you will of course need a large backpack that is comfortable to carry even when fully loaded. Securely securing equipment is essential. Holders for hiking poles and gear loops or a compartment for hydration bladders are features that make hiking holidays easier. With a good ventilation and carrying system, you can avoid fatigue and back pain. Well-padded shoulder straps and hip belts, as well as suitable chest straps, are also essential. Many hiking backpacks also have an integrated rain cover so that everything stays dry even in rainy weather.

Of course, the size, back system and features of the backpacks vary depending on the destination, activity and your own requirements. With these tips and suggestions, we want to give you a little help in making the right choice. Have fun browsing, shopping and discovering!

backpacks for women

Many manufacturers now offer backpacks that are adapted to the anatomy of women. A shorter back length and hip belts adapted to the female pelvis ensure a high level of comfort. Chest straps and shoulder straps are also adapted to the shape of the body so that they sit comfortably. Shoulder straps are usually narrower to prevent slipping and the chest strap is attached higher so that it can be closed over the chest.

Pack your backpack correctly

Optimal weight distribution and not too much weight is particularly important on long tours. Basically, you should only take the bare essentials with you. Less is more here. Heavy items should be carried close to the body, lighter items such as clothing should be packed on the outside. It is important that there is freedom of movement and that the backpack does not get in the way. The rule of thumb for the weight to be carried is that it should not be more than 20-25% of your own body weight. Here, too, it naturally depends on your own fitness and resilience.
