Three Factors To Consider When Choosing An Outdoor Backpack
When choosing an outdoor backpack, you must first clarify your needs. This time, I recommend entry-level backpacks. If you already have extensive outdoor experience, it is recommended to choose some professional brand backpacks, such as Kitty Hawk, Dot or Gregory, because a high-quality backpack may play a vital role in your exploration of nature.
First factor: The capacity must be moderate
Choosing the right backpack capacity is the key to outdoor activities. Carrying too many unnecessary items not only increases the burden, but may also affect the experience of the entire activity.
Light hiking: If it is a one-day hiking activity in the suburbs of the city, a backpack of 20L to 30L is enough. This capacity is suitable for carrying essential items and change of clothes, and ensures that the food and drinks carried are consumed as much as possible during a full day of hiking.
Heavy hiking: If you plan to go on a 2-3 day heavy hiking or camping in the wild, the backpack capacity should be between 40L and 50L. This capacity can accommodate enough change of clothes, food supplies and other necessary equipment. Usually at this capacity, the backpack may appear compact, so consider the expandability of the backpack when purchasing.
Long or long-distance hiking: For long-distance hiking of 5 to 10 days, it is recommended to choose a backpack of 50L to 65L. Although this capacity may make the backpack look large, sufficient capacity is essential for long-term or long-distance hiking. If your journey is longer, it is recommended to spend a little more money to choose a high-quality backpack. Although cheaper backpacks can also be used, high-quality backpacks can better ensure safety during the journey in terms of durability and reliability.
The second factor: performance must be excellent
The biggest difference between outdoor backpacks and commuter backpacks lies in its performance. One is that the fabric of outdoor backpacks will become very wear-resistant, waterproof and non-slip, and its carrying will also add additional skeletons or be more breathable, so that you can be more refreshed and comfortable during long-term carrying. So don’t think that outdoor backpacks look similar, but in fact each one has different core technical strengths. For example, friends who have carried the Eagle Airspeed Backboard say it’s good, and there is also Shennong’s carbon fiber skeleton. In addition, the chest strap and waist belt are also necessary, which can make your waist less stressed and less prone to fatigue!
The third element: the color must be bright
Outdoor backpacks must be brightly colored. Now that you are outdoors, you can see all kinds of colors. You must abandon the black and gray colors of your daily backpacks and try to choose bright red, purple, and green. This will make the photos more effective and easier for others (or small animals) to find you! Next, I will share with you three outdoor backpack OEM products that I found and think are worth buying. You can tell whether they are reliable or not by looking at them. Remember to like and collect them so you don’t get lost!
Choosing backpack brands and recommendations
Although there are many brands on the market that provide outdoor backpacks, the following brands are outstanding in quality and design, suitable for outdoor enthusiasts with different needs.
1.Aiwang
Aiwang is a brand that has not yet fully opened up the market in China, but is very popular in South Korea and other regions. The brand’s backpacks have won the favor of outdoor users with their high cost-effectiveness and reliable quality. Its backpacks are usually made of splash-proof, tear-resistant and wear-resistant materials, suitable for lightweight and medium-load outdoor activities.
For example, Aiwang’s 30L backpack uses an elastic suspension system to keep the back dry when carried, and is equipped with a comfortable waist belt, which is suitable for 1 to 2 days of hiking around the city.
Some user reviews mentioned that the elastic suspension system of this backpack can effectively reduce the pressure on the back, and it will not feel uncomfortable even if it is carried all day.
2.Decathlon
The outdoor backpacks provided by Decathlon are known for their high cost-effectiveness and comprehensive product line. Its backpacks are simple and practical in design, suitable for beginners and entry-level outdoor enthusiasts. Decathlon’s backpacks usually have basic waterproof and wear-resistant functions, suitable for various outdoor activities.
For example, Decathlon’s MH500 backpack is lightweight and durable, suitable for short-distance hiking and urban exploration. Although its material and structure may not be as professional as high-end brand backpacks, it is enough for entry-level users.
Many Decathlon users said that the MH500 backpack is very suitable for daily travel and short trips, and the carrying system is comfortable, especially for beginners.
3.Shiling Sennett
Shiling Sennett’s backpacks are suitable for outdoor activities that require more storage space and stronger functionality. Its backpack design focuses on practicality and has a large capacity, which is suitable for more complex outdoor activities such as long-distance hiking and camping. Although its design is relatively simple, its performance is not inferior, especially in terms of load-bearing and comfort, and it can provide better support.
Shiling Sennet users generally reported that the comfort and stability of the backpack are very good, and the carrying experience is also excellent during long-distance hiking, especially when carrying heavy objects, the design of the waist belt and shoulder straps can effectively reduce the burden.
Summary
Some friends are particularly fond of outdoor hiking and can’t wait to go hiking every weekend, while some friends think this is too troublesome. Why don’t they lie down at home and rest on a good weekend? However, for me, I like both. On a busy weekend, I like to carry my beloved outdoor backpack, bring some camping equipment and go camping on the beach or play in the water in a small ravine with my family. On a busy weekend, I like to stay at home, but I have to pack up my equipment, clean it and pack it up, so as to provide better service for my next trip.
