The perfect backpack for a hike: 9 main selection criteria

Going on your first camping trip? Most likely, he will be walking, plain and not very long. However, the question arises: how to choose comfortable travel backpack?





1. The volume
For a week-long Hiking trip you'll need the so-called "trekking" backpack with a volume of 70-75 HP Its curb weight won't exceed 15 kg (if on the route there are water sources and it is not necessary to drag on itself).

2. Weight
The heavier an empty backpack — the heavier the overall campaign. His own weight must not exceed 1.5 kg.

3. Material
Durable. The denser the fabric feels, the larger the scar, the better. Water resistant. Polyurethane or silicone impregnation to protect your load from instant to dry, and most water resistant should be the top valve ("cap") and the bottom.

4. Armor
Otherwise, the frame is built into the back of a backpack. Allows to better distribute the load and to transfer part of her from the shoulders to the waist. Made from aluminum (sometimes from fiberglass, but this material can withstand less stress).

5. Belt
The belt system secures the front, are needed in order to when walking backpack is not fought on your back and waist, and tightly to him fit. Always fasten and tighten it.

6. Partition
Divides the interior space into upper and lower compartments. At the bottom is convenient to store a sleeping bag or shoes, not to search through all the content in their searches.

7. Pockets
Outside pockets are not needed — in the course of them still do not get it. In this sense, a separate Fanny pack and cargo pants more comfortable.

8. Suspension system
Must be adjusted for growth. Straps have a curved anatomical shape to properly distribute the load and not to RUB shoulders.

9. Clasp
Usually this type of fastener fastex ("Trident"). They must be made of durable plastic, so, snapping it into position one, pull straps to the side struggling nothing should neither break nor tear.

THE THREE MAIN RULES OF WEARING
1. The backpack should not protrude high above the head. Otherwise increases the load on the neck, and high center of gravity prevents to maintain balance.

2. Between the back and the backpack should be no clearance backpack always fits tightly to the body. Otherwise, the load is distributed incorrectly, you get tired and injure your back.

3. When you sit down, the backpack needs to "sit" with you, that is, it should not hinder you to sit or to remain in the air.published
