Hiking Backpack

What is a Hiking Backpack? 

Hiking packs are an outdoor recreation where hiking gear and hiking equipment are carried in a backpack. It is a type of self-sufficient backpacking that typically takes place in the wilderness on long trails, through forested areas, or otherwise remote areas and outdoor adventures. Generally, the hiking pack has a capacity of 20-75 liters. Just like any other hiking and camping equipment like trekking poles, hiking poles, rain covers, sleeping bags, and fold-out tools, it has to be chosen carefully to fit for your next adventure trips and great outdoors.

Hiking and travel backpacks are usually made of mesh and fabric, with a hard or soft shell coating that withstands dirt and water. Manufacturers designed them to carry any hiking and climbing equipment and gear conveniently. They also come in different shapes and types like wet and dry bags, hydration packs, waterproof and lightweight. The waterproof hiking backpack provides reliable protection, allowing you to confidently carry your items without worrying about water damage. 

That is why, when it comes to selecting hiking pack features, there are many things that any hiker needs to consider, including the frame, ventilation, storage, attachment points, padding, and rain cover.

 

Recommendations to Choose The Best Hiking Packs

When you're going hiking, you'll need a hiking backpack that is lightweight so that it doesn't wear you down while you're lugging all that hiking gear and scaling that mountain. It must be large enough to contain all your belongings and hiking essentials such as hiking tents, yet sturdy enough to last you for many happy hiking trips. Novaprosports stocks high-quality hiking backpacks considering lightweight, functionality, and value. Lightweight is a crucial factor when taking your belongings on your hiking trips. Our hiking backpacks are also well designed to have increased ventilation at the back so that sweat doesn't get trapped between the back and the hiking backpack. They also distribute the weight in the hiking backpack to provide excellent support to the back throughout your hiking journey.

Selecting the best hiking backpacks for your hiking adventure is crucial for a hassle-free journey and future expeditions. Make an informed decision when choosing your hiking backpack to ensure your safety and comfort.

 

How Big of Hiking Packs Do You Need?

How much volume should you get in a daypack, weekend pack, multiday backpack, or expedition backpack? We at Novaprosports understand that this might be a little confusing for some. Here are some volume guidelines and advice so you can start shopping for packs in the appropriate size range!

Overnight Travel Packs: Less than 35 liters

The smallest of the overnight workhorses, an overnight hiking backpack is designed to accommodate enough gear and food for a light packer for one or two nights. Our TPU Dry-Wet Separating Waterproof Bag 20L is perfect enough for your overnight packs! This dry sack includes a long sling for easy carry across your back, so it always clings on to you.

 

2-3 Day Hiking Packs: 35-50 liters

Efficient packers using newer, less-bulky gear can keep things light on 1 to 3-night trips by using a pack in this range. It would be best if you have everything you'd bring on a 1-day backpacking trip for a 3-day backpacking trip, except for a little more food, fuel, toilet paper to stay out an additional two days. Therefore, we recommend getting a backpack with 35 to 50 liters capacity to fit these all in. 

If you are planning for a 2 to 3-day backpacking, we are sure that you'll love this Hiking Backpack Lightweight 45L in Black. Weighing less than 2kg, this Hiking Backpack Lightweight 45L is a second-generation CR lightweight, comfortable bear technology that reduces 50% weight from the traditional aluminum bar designs, increasing 30% in weight-bearing efficiency.

When it comes to a lightweight hiking backpack, nothing is more crucial than its ability to distribute weight evenly throughout the body. Doing so will prevent injury and maintain energy levels throughout long hikes.

 

Multi-days Hiking Packs: 50-75 liters

A light packer will have ample room for five nights or more with a multiday backpack, typically a 50L backpack or larger. These are designed to carry more food and cooking fuel than a weekend pack and extra clothes and layers. These are the most popular backpacking packs sold at Novaprosports, and they're an excellent choice for warm-weather trips lasting three or more days. 50-80 liter packs are also used for backcountry skiing, day trips, day hikes, overnighters, and sometimes 2-night trips. If you are into these multiday packs, click here to our 55L Hiking Backpacks.
