CHOOSING YOUR HIKING BACKPACK: THE ESSENTIALS

Hiking differs from trekking in terms of duration and distance covered. It can last a day or just a few hours. In this case, it's best to choose a lightweight hiking backpack that's comfortable to carry and has a special compartment for hydration. When hiking, you'll always need a water bottle and sometimes even a water mist to keep you hydrated. When choosing your hiking backpack, it's important to take into account its volume and the number of pockets and compartments. Special features such as a Smartphone pocket, pole attachments or ventilated mesh pockets are essential to make the bag as practical as possible. Backpacks from 5 liters to 20 liters are ideal for short hikes. Hiking backpacks with capacities ranging from 21 liters to 40 liters are ideal for long-distance hikes.
