Every self-respecting backpacker needs a practical and durable backpack to fully enjoy their trips in all circumstances. Whether you have already hiked with a bag on your shoulders or are planning to organize a trip without a suitcase, then you are in the right place to discover the essential technical characteristics of a travel bag!
Follow the guide to find the perfect backpack to go on an adventure and explore the world around you without compromising on your passion for sport and your freedom of movement!
What criteria should you prioritize when choosing your future travel backpack?
We all know the backpack in its most classic version, the one that most of us already had in middle school, high school or even university, for classes or for training sessions at the end of the day . Its improved version is the travel backpack, an XXL and ultra-versatile model for short getaways or a real world tour.
Because a travel bag should never be chosen lightly, here are the parameters to take into account when selecting a model suited to all your roaming needs.
An all-terrain backpack
Invest in a cost-effective travel bag by choosing a model that fits all situations. Neither too small nor too large, the ideal multi-use bag is one that is suitable for both hikers and air travel regulars.
So pay attention to the capacity of your future bag to benefit from versatile luggage capable of accompanying you on a large number of trips across the country, the continent or the world. As a general rule, a 55 to 75 liter bag is considered optimal for a 2-week stay away from home.
Warning: some empty travel bags sometimes weigh very heavy! A 60 L model can reach 2 kg without any stuff inside, hence the importance of carefully checking the technical sheet of a backpack before purchasing.
An all-terrain bag is also luggage resistant to life's small accidents. Thanks to strong stitching and zippers, your future bag will travel with you from one hemisphere to another for a long time. As a bonus, prioritize luggage with a good level of waterproofing to travel the world without ever worrying about damaging your clothes and personal belongings.
A comfortable backpack
When we talk about comfort for a backpack, we refer to the adequacy between its size, its weight and the body shape of its owner. The size of your back should in particular be one of the elements to take into consideration when choosing your future travel bag.
Also opt for a backpack with a high-performance adjustment system (load reminder straps, waist belt, etc.) to be perfectly comfortable during your trips on foot and other hikes in the great outdoors. In particular, padded and padded straps allow you to carry your bag comfortably on your shoulders.
An effective ventilation system should also be integrated into your bag if you are used to sweating and/or traveling to hot countries. Experience impeccable hygiene during your outdoor adventures to feel clean and fresh all day long.
A backpack equipped with storage spaces
The ideal travel bag has strategic pockets:
- 1 or 2 easily accessible pocket(s) with a good closure for maximum security
- Some secret storage spaces to hide your most valuable personal belongings (keys, ID card, wallet, etc.)
For even more practicality and better distribution of weight on your back, give priority to a model composed of both a lower compartment and an upper compartment. Optimize the storage of your clothes, hygiene products and electronic devices to make it easier to find your belongings when needed.
Should you choose a specific travel bag as a man or a woman?
Differences sometimes exist between so-called female baggage and so-called male baggage. For example, we observe dissimilarities in the height of the back, the shoulder straps or the chest strap.
In principle, women's travel backpacks come with a shorter back length or narrower straps at the chest level for better adaptation to the shape of women.
However, more and more brands are manufacturing luggage items that are adjustable down to the smallest detail to match the greatest number of morphological specificities. At Feelfree, backpacks are suitable for all travelers at heart! All you have to do is select yours on feelfree.fr.
