Highest Rated Trekking Packs 2017
When going on a multi-day hike, you’ll need to bring a lot of gear with you. Items like a first aid kit you hope you never have to use. If the worst case scenario happens, it pays to have prepared ahead of time.
Most day-hike bags don’t have enough volume to carry everything necessary for longer trips. Trekking packs on the other hand are purpose built to carry large loads of gear and supplies. They can go by many names: multi-day, excursion, expedition, or even internal / external frame packs.
Arguably the most important feature is overall comfort. Over a multiple day trip every little ache or discomfort will only get progressively worse. Internal and external frames will offer different types of comfort and you may find you prefer one type over the other.
The next major feature to consider is capacity. You’ll want just enough room to fit your gear, rather than choosing the biggest pack you can find. You’ll appreciate not having to carry excess weight.
