Backpack Buying Guide

Backpack_Buying_Guide.gifThere is no finer way (at least in my opinion) to spend a summer weekend than backpacking out in the wild. There’s something magical about packing all you need to survive, strapping it to your back, and heading out to see what adventures await.

Of course, if you’ve ever carried a heavy load with an ill-fitting backpack, you know discomfort can quickly ruin even the best backpacking trip. Lucky for us, backpacks have come a long way in the past several years. They’re more comfortable, distribute loads better, and some are even adjustable for a custom fit.

If you’re looking for a backpack, don’t miss the Backpack Buying Guide. From sizing, to fit, to frame, to features, we’ve detailed everything you need to know when choosing the right backpack for you.
