The most inquisitive, optimistic, lively and adventurous people are tourists. A tourist is an incorrigible romantic and at the same time a very practical person. After all, you can fully feel the beauty of the surrounding world only when you have everything you need for the normal organization of camping life at hand. That is why, going on a trip, every traveler first of all chooses a hiking backpack, which will easily and conveniently accommodate a lot of necessary, useful and, in the end, vital things.

The easiest way is to go to the store and buy any backpack you like. Camping experience, however, proves that the matter must be approached more thoroughly. Based on the purpose of the trip, the nature and length of the route (especially on foot), the time spent away from civilization, we must impose certain requirements on the main tourist equipment.

So what should a backpack be like?

1. It is necessary that its volume corresponds to the number of things needed on a hike - no more (a half-empty backpack is very uncomfortable) and no less (everything you need will not fit).
2. It is important to have at least two compartments in it: for things,that are important but not required every day; for something that should always be at hand at any time. Patch pockets are welcome.



3. When choosing a hiking backpack, pay attention to the system of belts and handles for carrying and the presence of special inserts or a frame that evenly distributes the weight. This is especially true when preparing for a long journey on foot. Easy-to-adjust straps allow you to fit your gear to your height.
4. Since we don't choose the weather, we need to be prepared for any changes in it. Therefore, a hiking backpack made of durable, wear-resistant and waterproof fabric is the best choice. At the same time, pay attention to the fact that there is ventilation on the back side - this will greatly facilitate the difficulties of a long transition.
5. Fittings (buttons, hooks, fasteners), comfortable and easy to fasten, become important when in a difficult situation you need to get the necessary item very quickly. Don't forget about it.

In our market, hiking backpacks are presented in a very wide range. The main companies producing this equipment are Nova Tour, Tatonka and Bask.

A quality hiking backpack is half the success of a long journey. After all, when you have everything you need behind your back, the whole world is ahead!
