How to choose the right hiking backpack?
Before selecting a hiking backpack, it’s essential to know what purpose you will use it for. Will you use it for a day hike or a multi-day trekking adventure? Understanding this will help you determine the ideal backpack capacity. Once you have identified the capacity, focus on the features that suit your needs, such as compartments, straps, and waterproofing. Finally, choose a backpack that fits you comfortably to ensure an enjoyable hiking experience.
Types of backpacks?
In general, there are three types of hiking backpacks by capacity:
–Daypacks have a capacity from 10-30 liters and are used for short hikes and casual outings.
-Weekend backpacks with a capacity of 30-50 liters. That kind of backpack is appropriate for 1 to 3 days of hiking.
Tip: if you are taking a multi-day hike in the Julian Alps, attending some tour skiing, or winter ascent to Triglav mountain, this is the type we would recommend.
-Extended-trip backpacks used for traveling and winter mountain adventures.
What features should a hiking backpack have?
The most important features are easily accessible pockets so you can organize your packs easily. The second feature is ventilation, which is important especially for multi-day hikes. The third feature is having lots of attachment points that allow you to attach stuff to the backpack and gain some extra space. Last but not least, a rain cover because you never know when it can catch you so it is better to be ready.
Nowadays, a hydration reservoir is quite practical, too, so you don’t need to stop every time you want a sip.
