Backpacks fit for the job
Choosing the right camping backpack comes down to comfort, capacity, and features. For day hikes, a 20–35 liter pack is plenty. Weekend trips usually need 35–50 liters, while multi-day adventures call for 50–70 liters or more. A good fit is essential—look for a backpack that matches your torso length, has a padded hip belt to carry most of the weight, and adjustable straps for a customized feel. Internal frame backpacks offer the best balance for most hikers, while external frames are great for heavy loads and frameless options suit ultralight travelers. Key features to look for include a hydration sleeve, ventilated back panel, rain cover, and gear loops. Durable, water-resistant materials like ripstop nylon will go the distance.
