The importance of a good backpack when hiking

A good rucksack is essential for any hiker, as it has a direct influence on the comfort and efficiency of the walk. The right model distributes weight efficiently, reducing fatigue and increasing enjoyment along the way. Our selection includes ergonomic rucksacks like those from Osprey, which are durable and perfect for all types of trekking, whether short or multi-day expeditions.

How do you choose a rucksack?

Choosing a rucksack depends on a number of criteria, including size, weight, capacity, type of frame and materials used. For day outings, a lightweight bag of 20 to 30 litres will suffice. For multi-day excursions, opt for a model of 40 litres or more, with padded shoulder straps and a sturdy waist belt to distribute the weight more evenly. Our range includes backpacks with different adjustments to fit your body perfectly, guaranteeing comfort and support, whatever the weight of your load.

Ultralight backpacks: good or bad idea?

Opting for an ultralight rucksack is an excellent idea for hikers looking to minimise fatigue and maximise mobility. However, it's crucial not to sacrifice robustness and comfort for lightness. Before opting for an ultralight trekking backpack, be sure to reduce and optimise the weight of your equipment. Once you've done that, you can look for a lighter model. These are ideal for those who go on fast hikes or demanding trails where every gram counts. Leading brands include Zpacks and Hyberg.

Complementary accessories

To enhance your hiking experience, consider adding complementary accessories to your equipment. A rain cover (also known as a raincover), water pouch or equipment storage pockets are essential for keeping your gear dry and hydrated. Another good tip is to have waterproof bags or compartments to organise the contents of your bag and find the equipment you need without having to empty everything. As you can see, today's backpacks are well accessorised, but it's still possible to customise them to suit your specific needs.
