What Is the Difference Between a Hiking Backpack and a Trekking Backpack?

Hiking backpacks are designed for day hikes and short tours – light, compact, and flexible. Trekking backpacks offer more volume and additional features for longer trips with lots of luggage.

How Many Litres Should a Hiking Backpack Have?

For day trips, we recommend a volume of 20 to 30 litres. This gives you enough space for snacks, water, clothing, and your essentials. Good backpacks for day trips include the Kapten & Son Yoho or the Kapten & Son Banff.

What Should Not Be Missing in a Hiking Backpack?

Hiking through nature is great fun and also good exercise. And as you surely know, you quickly start to sweat during exercise. So make sure you have a well-filled water bottle and snacks for an energy boost. Weatherproof clothing, a first aid kit, sunscreen, and sunglasses should of course not be missing either.

How Much Weight Should a Hiking Backpack Have?

The weight of a hiking backpack varies depending on the model, capacity, and purpose. Small daypacks can weigh 0.5 kilograms, larger trekking backpacks can easily weigh 2 kilograms. More important than the backpack’s own weight is the total weight of your luggage. Your packed backpack should not weigh more than 10 - 20 percent of your body weight. For a body weight of 70 kilograms, the backpack should therefore weigh a maximum of 7 to 14 kilograms.
