How to choose a rucksack for a trek
Choosing the right rucksack for you next adventure or your next trip is crucial to make your travels easy and comfortable. Here are a few considerations to choose a rucksack
-
Different Sizes
Calculate how much luggage you carry depending on the duration of the trip/trek. Hiking backpacks are available from 10L to 75L sizes.
-
Hiking backpacks are single-door as well as multi door.
On simple or one-day hikes you might not need everything to carry. A single-door bag with a small capacity will work, but on multiple-day hikes, you might need a multi door rucksack, so you can pull out a sleeping bag or shoes without disturbing anything in the backpack.
-
Multi-pockets
Many rucksacks offer different pockets for those things you need to carry for your hike. Such pockets will help you keep things organized and easily accessible every time.
-
Multipurpose straps
The use of multipurpose straps allows you to attach extra items to the bag like a cap, sleeping mat, shoe bag, ice axe, tripod, etc.
-
Hydration bag
Some rucksacks come with a small hydration bag inside and many have a special compartment inside to house the hydration bag and for a mouthpiece on the strap. So, you don't have to open a rucksack every time you are thirsty.
-
Hip belt and other adjustments
Most rucksacks come with hip belts and some heavy rucksacks even have adjustable belts for the chest as well as an adjustable back harness. These belts will take some of the heavy load off your shoulders and help you travel for a longer time.
-
Waterproof/Rain cover
Most trekkers use the same rucksack for all their treks in all seasons. If you are one of them, you must check if its fabric is waterproof or if it comes with rain cover as we usually trek in heavy rain in monsoon, and keeping everything dry is a great task.
-
Addition bag attachment
Few rucksacks even come with straps/buckles to attach additional backpacks. If you are traveling with so much luggage for a long duration trip but don't need everything every day, this small additional bag will be easy to carry with things only needed on that day and easy to attach to a big rucksack when traveling with all luggage.
