How to choose the right hiking backpack?
Before we attend to go and choose a backpack you need to know for what purpose you will use it. Either it is a day or multi-day hiking. Knowing that will help you by choosing the capacity. The rest to choose from are the backpack features and choosing the one that fits you the most.
Types of backpacks?
In general, there are three types of hiking backpacks by capacity:
-weekend backpacks with capacity 30-50 litres. That kind of backpack is appropriate for 1 to 3-day hiking
Tip: if you are attending to climb the most popular mountain in Slovenia Triglav in the summer this is the type of hiking backpack we would recommend.
-Multiday hiking backpacks with capacity 50-80 litres. Are usually used by multiday hikes and cross-county trekkings. In case you are planning to sleep outdoors and you need more equipment this is also appropriate for 2-3 days trekking.
Tip: if you are taking a multi-day hike in Julian Alpes, attending some tour skiing or winter ascent to Triglav mountain this is the type we would recommend.
-Extended-trip backpacks used for travelling 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 important especially by multi-day hikes Third-lots of attachment points that allow you to attach stuff on 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 also a hydration reservoir is quite practical so you don’t need to stop every time you want a sip.
