What is a backpacking backpack?

When choosing a backpacking backpack, it is important to consider the size and shape of the pack, as well as the type of weather and terrain you will be using it in.

The bottom line on the best backpacking backpacks

When you’re looking for the best backpacking backpack, it’s important to remember that there is no single “perfect” backpack out there. The best backpack for you will depend on a number of factors, including your body type, the type of hiking you’ll be doing, and the amount of gear you need to carry. With so many different backpacks on the market, it can be tough to know where to start your search.

That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you find the best backpacking backpack for your needs. We’ll cover everything from how to choose the right size backpack to what features to look for in a great backpacking pack. By the time you’re done reading this guide, you’ll know exactly what to look for when shopping for your new backpack.

When it comes to finding the best backpacking backpack, size is one of the most important factors to consider. You need to make sure that the backpack you choose is big enough to comfortably hold all of your gear, but not so big that it’s cumbersome to carry. The best way to determine the right size backpack for you is to take some measurements before you start shopping. Start by measuring the length of your torso from the top of your shoulders down to your hip bone. Next, measure the circumference of your chest at its widest point. Finally, measure the distance around your waist at its narrowest point. Once you have these three measurements, consult a size chart to find the right backpack size for your body type.

Another important factor to consider when choosing the best backpacking backpack is the type of hiking you’ll be doing. Are you an avid hiker who likes to tackle long, difficult trails? Or are you more interested in shorter, easier hikes close to home? The type of hiking you do will dictate the type of backpack you need. For example, if you’re planning on doing a lot of long-distance hiking, you’ll need a larger pack with more space for gear and food. On the other hand, if you’re mostly interested in shorter hikes, a smaller pack will suffice.

Finally, consider what features you need in a backpacking backpack. Do you need a lot of pockets for organizing your gear? Do you need a built-in rain cover for inclement weather? Do you need a hydration system so you can stay hydrated on the trail? Once you know what features you need, you can narrow down your search to find the best backpacking backpack for your needs.
