How to choose a hiking backpack

If you don't know how to choose a hiking backpack, or if it's the first time you buy a backpack there are several aspects you should consider:

Choosing the right hiking backpack is very important. You carry your backpacks during the whole duration of hikes, be it few hours or multiple days: it holds all your resources hence you want it to be of the appropriate size, not too small nor excessively big.

Finding good backpacks for hiking requires you to do some research, spend some time and spot deals.

The type of hikes you do determines the type of backpack you should choose.

Do you need day hike backpack or a backpack for multiple days hikes? The size of your backpack depends mostly on this. If you are going for multiple days hikes your backpack will need to be bigger than the one you would buy for day hikes.

Moreover, for particular hiking trips like climbing or other special sports, you'll need particular backpacks with enough room and pockets to accommodate all your special gear and make it quickly available when needed.

Once you know what kind of hikes you are going for you will know what backpack to shop for.

Today you can find backpacks to accommodate any needs, from the smaller ones to the largest ones with multiple internal compartments, studied for day hikes, multiple days hikes, long backpacking trips, climbing, snowboards and many more types of hikes.

Backpacks are designed to fit specifically on women's or men's shoulders which are obviously different: this is another thing to consider when shopping for a backpack.

Price is obviously important when shopping for a hiking backpack, it is indeed one of the most important variables to consider. Once you have chosen the type of backpack you need you will find backpacks with very different prices.

For beginners it's not recommended to purchase an expensive first backpack, specially if you don't know if you are going to enjoy this sport and continue practicing it; a good rule of thumb is however not to settle for the lowest prices because of low quality materials.

Huge discounts can be found online so even better backpacks become affordable: shopping around you can find huge discounts
