Buying Guide for Hiking Backpacks

When selecting a hiking backpack, consider the duration of your trips and the gear you need to carry. For longer adventures, a larger capacity bag like the Vango Contour 65 might be suitable. Day hikes may only require a smaller daybag such as the Thule Chasm. Ensure the backpack fits comfortably and check for features like hydration compatibility and organisational compartments.
