Maybe you are a hiking lover like me, having a lot of knowledge about hiking bags, or maybe you are an illiterate person in this area, all of which doesn't matter. Today I will offer you some general information about hiking back packs in guiding you to make a good choice.
Generally, your hiking type will determine which kind of backpack to choose. If you are taking an overnight or weekend hiking, an ultralight, simple daypack or hydration pack is enough for your necessary gears. However, the full-sized hiking backpack is needed for your multiday hiking trip. As is known, internal frame backpacks have been the mainstream of the backpack market, and it deserves our full attention.
Backpack Construction: A hiking backpack can be deconstructed into a simple bag with several compartments, shoulder straps, hip belt, chest belt, pockets, and some affiliated designs, etc. Most hiking backpacks have more than one compartment that means you can arrange your belongings according to your preference orderly and neatly. But if you have no many gears to carry, a simple bag with one compartment is ok. The shoulder straps take the main responsibility to hold the weight and attach the pack onto your back to keep balance. Padded shoulder straps will lessen the pressure on your shoulder. Hip belt is a revolutionary design for the reason that it disperses the weight originally on the shoulder and back to the hips and legs, and lessens the total weight of the bag in some sense. Chest belt will keep the backpack sticking onto your body in case it can bounce up and down. Pockets in different sections may be designed for different purpose. In brief, pockets can make your hiking convenient. Some hiking bags have ventilation system and suspension system for user-friendly goal.
Size: The size of the hiking back pack is often measured by cubic inches and liters (usually 61 cubic inches equals one liter). Most packs come into two or three sizes to fit different people. When you buy a backpack, you will notice that most packs have a label of number, such as 65 or 4000. This is the volume of bag, and a 65-liter bag has a appropriate volume with a 4000 cu in bag. On most cases, the medium backpack can meet the need of most people for their most purpose. In addition, you must take your hiking days or weather into consideration when you select the size. If you are hiking in the cold weather or for several days, you must take more clothes or gears with you, then a larger pack is necessary, but if you only take a one-day hiking in the warm area, then an ultralight pack will do you a favor in your hiking. So just select a suitable backpack for your hiking according to your reality.
