A tourist backpack is undoubtedly one of the most crucial pieces of equipment for hikes and journeys. The success of your trip depends on how well-chosen and comfortable your backpack is.
There is currently a vast selection of backpacks with different models available. Before buying a tourist backpack, it's essential to determine its intended use.
Types of Tourist Backpacks by Application Area:
- Day Hike Backpacks: Typically with a volume of up to 30 liters, these are lightweight and compact backpacks. They can hold snacks, insulation, and climbing gear - ideal for one-day trips.
- Trekking Backpacks (35-70 liters): Designed to carry all necessary items for multi-day hikes. These backpacks often feature multiple pockets and external attachment options. They also have an anatomical back and waist support for comfort during long wear.
- Expedition Backpacks (80-100+ liters): Intended for extended autonomous hikes and high-altitude climbs, these backpacks have larger volumes to accommodate all necessary equipment.
- Mountaineering Backpacks: Available for both single-day (20-40L) and multi-day (50-60L) climbs. They are lightweight, streamlined to avoid catching on terrain, and equipped with fastenings for tools and mountaineering gear.
- Climbing Backpacks: Light and compact, designed for rope work and rock climbing. Important features include a streamlined shape to avoid snagging on terrain and external attachment options.
Types of Tourist Backpacks by Back Construction:
- Framed Backpacks: Feature a rigid frame, often made of aluminum or plastic, providing structure and support.
- Frameless Backpacks: Without a frame, these backpacks are lighter, and the contents inside form a comfortable "frame." Proper packing is essential. Some models come with detachable frames for versatility.
- Backpacks with Adjustable Back Length: These backpacks have an adjustable back length, making them suitable for people of different heights. Non-adjustable backpacks should be chosen based on the user's size.
Tourist Backpacks with Anatomical Features:
- Men's Tourist Backpacks
- Women's Tourist Backpacks
Modern backpacks are designed considering individual body characteristics. Women's tourist backpacks differ with narrower straps and back, as well as a waist belt adapted to female anatomy.
Backpacks Based on Weight-Strength Ratio
- Durable Backpacks: Suitable for those seeking a backpack for active and prolonged use, where gear weight is less critical.
- Lightweight Backpacks: A smart compromise between lightness, comfort, and durability.
- Ultralight Backpacks: Ideal for alpinism, technical climbs, autonomous expeditions, and situations where gear weight is critical. Explore our Dyneema® Composite Fabrics backpack line for ultralight enthusiasts.
How to Choose a Tourist Backpack for Hiking:
Once you've determined the type of backpack you need, compare suitable models and choose one that fits you perfectly. Consider these factors:
- Volume: Ideally, the backpack should neither be too small nor too large. Fram Equipment backpacks are designed to compress to a smaller volume, ensuring items inside don't shift excessively.
- Weight: Given similar parameters, opt for the lighter backpack. A lighter backpack on your shoulders means less fatigue and a better hiking experience.
- Back Length: Backpacks with adjustable back lengths are versatile and suitable for people of different heights. Non-adjustable backpacks should be chosen based on the user's size.
- Details and Elements: Pay attention to equipment attachment features and the number of pockets. For instance, if you're planning a long trek, a backpack with attachments for trekking poles, long side straps for attaching a mat, and small pockets might be beneficial. If you use a hydration system, choose backpacks that integrate with it.
Backpack prices are also an essential factor. We offer quality backpacks for every budget, from simple and reliable models for beginners to specialized gear for demanding professionals.
Before purchasing a tourist backpack, we recommend trying it on with a load. This way, you'll understand how the model adjusts and whether it's comfortable to move with.
