Backpacking Gear: Where Do You Start?
Introduction
Embarking on a backpacking adventure starts with choosing the right gear, with the backpack as the cornerstone. Everything you need will be carried in this essential item, making your choice crucial. Your decision on backpacking gear will depend on how often you venture outdoors, the duration of your trips, and the expected weather conditions.
Backpack Types: Frameless vs. Framed
When selecting a backpack, you'll typically choose between frameless and framed options:
1. Frameless Backpacks:
- Lightweight and affordable.
- Best for short, light activities.
- Not suitable for heavy or bulky loads.
2. External Frame Backpacks:
- Cost-effective with plenty of external pockets.
- Keeps the pack away from your body to reduce sweat and moisture.
- Suitable for larger loads, but may shift weight onto the hips and have a higher center of gravity.
3. Internal Frame Backpacks:
- Often more expensive but highly efficient.
- Conform well to your body for better movement and weight distribution.
- Offer better ventilation and are becoming increasingly popular.
Ensuring Comfort
The most expensive backpack isn't always the best fit for your needs. A knowledgeable salesperson can help adjust the backpack to fit your body, highlighting its adjustable straps, buckles, and features. It's crucial to test the fit by walking around with weights inside to mimic real conditions.
- Check Durability: Examine the fabric and ensure there are enough compartments for your gear, such as a sleeping bag and foam pad.
- Test Mobility: Move around to check for any tightness or restriction.
Safety First
Many people experience injuries from improper backpack use each year. Thoroughly inspect each potential backpack to ensure it suits your needs. Before deciding, visit the manufacturer's website to check for available replacement parts in case something breaks. Preparing for all possibilities is an essential part of the backpacking gear selection process.
