How to Choose a Backpack for Hiking: The Ultimate Guide

February 16, 2022 by David Nolen

Are you planning on going on a hiking trip and don’t know what type of backpack to bring? You’re in luck! In this blog post, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to choose the perfect backpack for your hiking needs. We’ll go over different types of backpacks, how to measure your torso size and other factors that you need to consider before making your purchase. So whether you’re a beginner hiker or an experienced outdoorsman, read on for the best tips on choosing the right backpack for you!

When you’re choosing a backpack for hiking, there are a few things to keep in mind. The first decision is how big of a pack do you need? Depending on the length and difficulty of your hike, you’ll want different supplies and gear with you, so your pack’s size will vary.

– Next, decide what type of backpack you need. There are three main types: frameless, daypack, and extended trip pack. A frameless backpack is good for short hikes or when you want to carry as little weight as possible. Daypacks are perfect for shorter hikes or if you only need to bring a few supplies with you. Extended trip packs are larger and have frames, to carry heavier loads and protect your back.

– Lastly, how much are you willing to pay? You can find a backpack for as little as $30 or spend hundreds of dollars on one. If you’re going on short hikes in the woods with only a few supplies, then an inexpensive pack will do just fine. But if you’re doing multi-day hikes or backpacking, you’ll want to invest in a higher quality pack that will be more comfortable and last longer.
