What makes a great hiking backpack?
A great backpack should keep you organized, comfortable, and protected against the elements. That’s why our hiking packs feature padded shoulder straps, breathable back panels, hydration system compatibility, and multiple compartments for efficient storage. Whether you’re out for a quick hike or a multi-day journey, we have a pack designed for your route. For fast-access essentials, pair your backpack with a trekking waist bag to keep snacks, phone, and keys within easy reach.
Choosing the right hiking backpack
Your activity and trip length determine the best size. For day hikes, a 15–25L backpack offers enough capacity for water, food, and an extra layer. For overnight or multi-day adventures, 30–45L provides room for sleeping gear and essentials. If you need to stay extra light, consider pairing your main pack with a small fanny pack for minimal carry. For long treks and extended journeys, explore our travel backpacks that handle larger loads without compromising comfort. Need more detailed advice before making a choice?
