four great tips for choosing outdoor travel backpack

Secret Tip 1: Choose a Backpack Based on Your Trip

For single-day excursions, cycling, or hiking, choose a backpack under 30 liters. For two to three-day camping trips, opt for a multifunctional backpack between 30-40 liters, such as the KingCamp Outdoor Backpack KB3291, which is lightweight and has multiple features like a sliding chest adjustment system, suspended air adjustment system, quick-adjust shoulder straps, and waist storage, making it convenient, practical, safe, and comfortable. For hikes longer than four days, where you need to carry a tent, sleeping bag, and moisture-proof mat, choose a backpack over 45 liters. Additionally, note that backpacks for general outdoor activities differ from those used for mountain climbing; climbing backpacks lack many components, so enthusiasts should take note.

Secret Tip 2: Choose a Backpack Based on the Number of People

When going on a solo excursion, choose a backpack around 25-35 liters. If taking family and children on a holiday trip, consider a 40-liter backpack to help carry items like umbrellas, cameras, and food for the family, with multiple external attachment points for convenience.

Secret Tip 3: Choose a Backpack Based on Your Torso Length

Before selecting a backpack, measure your torso length from the prominent vertebra at the base of your neck to the last lumbar vertebra. If your torso length is less than 45 cm, you should buy a small-sized backpack. If your torso length is between 45-52 cm, choose a medium-sized backpack. If your torso length is over 52 cm, opt for a large-sized backpack.

The standard to refer to is that when wearing the backpack, your hips and legs should be visible from behind. If only a large backpack and two small legs are visible, it is incorrect and dangerous.

Secret Tip 4: Choose a Backpack Based on Gender

Due to differences in body shape and carrying capacity between men and women, the choice of outdoor backpacks also varies. For short trips of one or two days, a unisex 30-liter backpack is suitable. For longer trips or camping lasting more than 2-3 days, men generally choose a 55-liter backpack, while women opt for a 45-liter backpack.

Additionally, try the backpack for style and comfort before choosing. Ensure that when looking up, you do not hit the frame or top pocket. All parts of the backpack that touch your body should have sufficient padding. The internal frame and stitching should be sturdy. Pay special attention to the thickness and quality of the shoulder straps, and check for chest straps, waist belts, shoulder straps, and their adjustment straps.
