• Whether you are planning to go for a full week
  trekking to the hills and mountains or just a
  short weekend hike beyond the outskirts of your
  city, the right lightweight backpack will help
  you cover those few extra miles and conserve your
  energy. A backpack is one of the very first gears
  that you would need for your hiking trip.

• It is important for you to find a backpack
  that suits you and that you are comfortable with.
  Investing in a personalized backpack is a great
  choice when searching for the perfect one.

• Here are some pointers which might help you
  to find your Personal backpack.
• Find the right shop A good place to start is
  shops that specialize in outdoor pursuits. They
  can give you personalized advice. There are a few
  good supplier sites on the web, but it's always
  preferred to try before you buy.

• Backpack weight and size A crucial thing to
  consider is the weight and size of your backpack.
  When contemplating on the size, imagine you being
  tired to your core and carrying that backpack
  with its full weight. Map out your road trails
  and routes of your hike and pack accordingly.
• Padding and support Backpacks usually have
  either an internal or external frame. The
  thickness and quality of the padding found in the
  back panel, and particularly the shoulder straps
  and hip belts, is an important consideration in
  choosing a pack. The ones with an external frame
  are generally good for attaching sleeping bags
  and tents.

• Belts and straps It is advisable to get a
  pack with a belt. This belt takes a huge amount
  of weight off your back and redistributes it to
  the hips. Straps that tighten and loosen helps
  you adapt and fit the pack.
