Hiking Backpacks FAQs
For multi-day excursions, try a durable technical pack that is super lightweight like the Summit Series Phantom 38 Backpack.
If you're headed out on a day trip, a smaller packable daypack is ideal for camping (or commuting) on a daily basis.
If you need to really go the distance, a large or extra-large backpack is built to comfortably take on larger hauls.
A fully loaded hiking backpack should not exceed 10% of your body weight. If you're in it for the long-haul with a multi-day backpacking trip, your fully loaded pack should not exceed 20% of your body weight when you hit the trail.
Generally, we recommend picking the lightest backpack possible that meets your needs. The lighter the backpack construction, the more space there is for you to store all of your essential gear while on the go.
The type of backpack you pick will depend on a few factors, namely the length of your trip, how much gear you are likely to carry, and your own personal preference regarding size and weight distribution.
If you tend to multitask to the max, go for a simple top-loader daypack that's durable and built to handle anything life throws your way.
If you're looking to level up your hiking gear, go for a state-of-the-art pack that's literally built to go the distance. Plus, the top-notch Phantom backpacks come in multiple sizes so you can find the perfect fit in minutes.
Consider the equipment and gear you want to take with you on your next excursion. If trekking poles, extra clothing or carrying a sleeping pad are factors, a back pack with lots of storage - either a large main compartment or lots of external pockets - can help you keep everything organized.
For the young hikers in your life, we've also got plenty of options for little adventurers. Our Youth Mini Explorer is specifically designed for toddlers who love to explore.
When you're out in the wilderness, bright colours are a must-have if you're trekking alone. We recommend bright orange, bold red, or rich blue hues that will make you easy to spot while tackling the trailhead.
Of course, it also all comes down to style. If you're looking to move from work to the weekend with ease, a more simple colour scheme (and professional daypack) may be more your thing. While we offer classic hiking packs that are built for adventure, and also have more modern and minimalist hiking backpacks that are packed with functional extras with a sleek look.
