In the "Backpacks" category you will find a range of packs designed for hiking, camping and travel. Choices include lightweight daypacks (10–30 L), technical hiking backpacks (30–65 L), multi-day and expedition packs (60 L+), child-sized backpacks and specialized cases for camera or climbing gear. Each type is built to meet specific load, comfort and durability needs.
Use cases vary: short day hikes, longer trekking routes, bikepacking, car camping, backpacking trips and everyday carry. Technical hiking backpacks typically include a frame or reinforced back, adjustable torso length, padded hip belts and numerous attachment points for trekking poles, sleeping mats or ice axes. Daypacks focus on accessibility and low weight for quick outings.
Key features and materials to consider: durable fabrics like ripstop nylon and Cordura, water-resistant coatings (DWR), taped seams, robust zippers, ventilated mesh back panels, padded shoulder straps, removable rain covers and hydration reservoir compatibility. Volume is measured in liters — 15–30 L for day use, 30–50 L for overnight or short multi-day trips, 50–70 L+ for full camping setups including tent and sleeping bag.
How to choose the right backpack: determine trip length and expected load, try packs on with a simulated weight, adjust torso length and hip belt so the hips bear most of the weight, check for good ventilation if hiking in warm weather, and consider pack weight and compression options. For children, choose smaller, ergonomically shaped packs with secure straps and reflective details.
