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 crucial to the success of your hike. A suitable rucksack is irreplaceable. Light weight, the right pack size and additional features are just some of the criteria you should consider before buying. A robust and lightweight yarn that can reliably withstand mountain and camping adventures and is also water and dirt repellent is essential.

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

Of course, the size, back system and features of backpacks vary depending on the destination, activity and personal 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 straps adapted to the female pelvis ensure a high level of carrying comfort. Chest straps and shoulder straps are also adapted to the shape of the body to ensure a comfortable fit. Shoulder straps are usually narrower to prevent them from slipping and the chest strap is higher so that it can be fastened over the chest.

Packing the rucksack correctly

Optimum weight distribution and not too much weight is particularly important on long tours. As a general rule, you should only take what is absolutely necessary. Less is more. 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 rucksack 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, of course, it depends on your own physical condition and capacity.
