If you’re searching for the perfect backpack to take on your next long hike, you’ve come to the right place. Our team has years of experience in different terrain using different equipment and completely understands how challenging it is to find the gear that you can trust. Here are some of our top picks for the best backpacks that you can invest in according to your priorities!

Price

A good, lightweight backpack should be affordable enough for you to make the decision of getting it, but it’s wise to invest in something that can reliably stay with you through thousands of miles. One of the best budget packs that you can invest in is Aarm’s Liquid Agility. It’s one of the best choices for active hikers, bikers, and cross-country skiers. It makes use of our patented system—Flow-Motion—providing additional comfort along with an auto-mold frame and auto-form hipbelt that helps users keep their balance. It can also convert into a daypack with its sternum and shoulder straps!

Volume

Most backpackers carry 40-50L packs, but you might want a larger one to carry more items. It’s also wiser to get a bigger pack if you’re hiking in the winter to accommodate bulky, heavy gear. The Natural Balance pack is an award-winning bag with 59-67L of space and has attachments for trekking poles, ice clippers, caritools, and ice axes.

You can also use balance pockets to achieve greater balance and stability while using this pack. It helps reduce fatigue and strain on your back and shoulders. This upper lightweight pack feels like you aren’t carrying anything at all, so you won’t have to worry about the extra weight on your back while hiking up a mountain.

Weight

Your backpack is one of the heaviest pieces of gear that you carry on hikes, so it’s important to keep it as light as possible. The Hydro Light is only 11oz and is extremely compact. It hangs from the user’s shoulders and molds to the contours of their body to flow along with their body. The pack features chest straps and auto-molding mesh shoulder straps for ultimate comfort and stability.
