How to choose the right hiking backpack?

Key criteria for selecting your backpack

Before looking at capacity, three criteria deserve your attention:

• Adjustable back system: most technical backpacks feature an adjustable back length. This lets you set the distance between the shoulder straps and hip belt so the weight rests on your hips, not your shoulders.
• Hip belt: on a trekking backpack or a 40L backpack and above, the hip belt transfers 70 to 80% of the pack's weight to your hips. It should be padded and fit your hip size well.
• Back ventilation system: some backpacks feature a mesh panel between your back and the pack (AirContact system by Deuter, Airspeed by Gregory). This mesh allows air to circulate and reduces back sweat-ideal for long summer days.
• Men's and women's fits: women's backpacks (often labelled SL for Slim Line at Deuter) offer a shorter back length, curved shoulder straps and a hip belt shaped for female anatomy. This isn't just about looks-it's about long-term comfort.

The different sizes of hiking backpacks

The capacity of a trekking backpack depends on the duration and type of trip:

• Under 30L: ideal for lightweight day hikes. Enough for water, food, an extra layer and a first aid kit.
• 30 to 45L (40L backpack): the most versatile size. Perfect for weekends with overnight stays, 2-3 day hikes or technical mountaineering trips with gear.
• 45 to 60L (50L and 60L backpacks): for 4-7 day treks with all the essentials for bivouacking (tent, sleeping bag, stove, food).
• Over 60L (70L backpacks and above): for long expeditions, major crossings or hikers heading out for several weeks without resupply. Gregory offers models up to 100L in our catalogue for these adventures.
