Part 2:The Complete Guide on Choosing Your Backpack for Backpacker

# 3. To try them!!! And so choose according to the comfort

This is the basic criterion that should set your final choice. If you are not comfortable with a bag, do not buy it, you will find your journey long and arduous. And how do you know if a bag is comfortable or not? We must try it. Several stores offer this service and allow you to choose bags and fill them with weights to see how you feel with the bag on your back. Do not hesitate to try 10, if necessary, because your bag will follow you everywhere then!

Check that the shoulder straps are padded and padded (very important) and that the belt is also: all the weight will go to these places, and you really do not want to feel the pressure of the straps on your shoulders. In fact, one-third of the weight goes on your shoulders, and two-thirds on your hips, about. So make sure you are comfortable.

Also, check that there are different adjustment straps to allow you to spread the weight comfortably on your body. Good bags offer a lot, and it's very convenient.

Personally, there was a bag with lots of storage and a load from the front that I liked a lot. However, when I tried it, I had pain in my lower back after only 5 minutes. So I had to choose another brand, which did not offer as much storage and was less convenient for loading, but with which I was so much more comfortable. Comfort is not to be neglected, it is the basic criterion which should fix your final choice, I repeat.

# 4. Ensure the quality of the bag

Is the fabric waterproof? Do the seams look solid? Do zippers look solid too? Check the build quality of the cheap backpacks. You really do not want a zip break in the middle of your trip, especially if it's the main cover! Also try to see if the interior seams are embroidered, ie if they are covered with fabric to slow down wear. This is an important detail.

Tips in bulk

1. We sell net backpacks, that is to say, a bag that does not stick directly on your back to allow you to be less hot when the temperatures are high. Other bags do not offer this but instead, offer more compartments and more pockets. I advise you to prefer the compartments to the net bag. I chose the net bag, and let's be honest ... when it's 40 degrees, net net net, it's hot.

2. Do not necessarily trust the brand or backpack that all your friends have. So according to you, and depending on how you feel with the bag.

3. Do not skimp on the price! Your backpack will follow you everywhere and you should not stop your choice on a bag for the simple reason that it is $ 20 less. In fact, you should not even look at the prices when you buy.

4. Take the time to choose the right bag and shop! It is by trying them all that you will be able to choose the bag most adapted to your morphology and your needs.

Part 1:The Complete Guide on Choosing Your Backpack for Backpacker

This is a question that comes up very often, and I thought I could give you some tips for choosing a backpack. Your backpack, on your trip, is a little like your friend who follows you everywhere ... So as well choose it as it is necessary, and love it! There are so many brands, models, and sizes that it's very easy to get lost and not know where to turn. For shopping my backpack last year , here are my tips to choose the backpack best suited to your style of travel.

# 1. Choose the size of the backpack

40L, 50L, 55L, 60L, 70L ... What to choose? It all depends on the type of traveler you are. Do you usually sleep under the stars or under a tent when traveling? If so, you will probably need to bring your camping gear, which will take up space in your backpack, of course. If you are more the type of traveler in hostel or guesthouses, you can reduce the size of your bag.

My advice

Do not take a bag too big. Why? Because if it's too big, you'll fill it. It often ends (very often) like that! This way, you will drag more weight than you really need, and you will end up bringing in too much. Travel light, as much as possible.

Size of my bag: 55L. I consider it the perfect size for the type of traveler that I am: if I travel less than a month, I do not fill it, because often it is a sign that I will stay in almost the same place and that I will have only one season to brave. On the other hand, if I travel for more than a month and have to deal with cold and hot temperatures, I have enough space in my bag to bring winter/spring clothes and summer clothes. With a 55L KAKA backpack, I managed to pack all my life for 75 days of travel, with clothes to brave temperatures ranging from -2 degrees to 40 degrees. And ... I had room left when I left Montreal. Well, that's the size of my bag, but go according to your needs! This is only indicative.

# 2. Check the type of storage offered by the bag and the number of compartments

There are some bags that are loaded from the top, others by the front. I strongly recommend the bags that are loaded from the front. I bought the top loader, my boyfriend bought the front loader, and I must admit I was jealous of his bag all along our trip. He could open it like a suitcase, while I still had to struggle to find stuff at the bottom of my bag. The only advantage to having a top loading bag, and you still have to say it, is that it is made stronger (yay).

Also prefer a bag with several pockets, where you can store for example your shoes or underwear, or your wet clothes.

3 Reasons To Adopt The Men's Backpack

The time when the backpack was reserved only for sportsmen or tourists is definitely over. Thanks to the new modes, any man can quickly access a bag as practical as trendy. Models, there is something for everyone. If you still have some reservations to buy your new backpack, here is a small list of the main reasons to pass the course.

1 - A practical accessory

Even if you are in the habit of putting all your stuff in your pockets, it is not necessarily the best solution. Indeed, by exposing your keys, your phone or your wallet in this way, you run the risk of making them steal or to make them fall. By opting for a backpack, you will be able to put them safely in a place that closes well. If you are used to cycling, the backpack is definitely the accessory you need.

2 - The backpack for optimal comfort

It is not by chance that hikers or frequent travelers all have this type of bag. Unlike a shoulder bag, although these are certainly aesthetic, you do not carry all the weight of your business only on one shoulder. It also differs from the briefcase, which is certainly practical but can quickly become embarrassing when you have to carry heavy objects. By choosing a backpack, you make sure to spare your back to the maximum while enjoying the resistance that will allow you to take with you everything you need.

3 - The bag of the modern man

Models of backpacks are modernizing more and more and come to seduce modern men. For example, by offering more and more colors, shapes, patterns, KAKA Backpack knows how to charm its audience. Rates are also adapted to meet all requests. In addition, the traditional models that adapted to sports, for example with "gourd-holders", are also transformed. Do not be surprised to see some bags specially designed to tarnish a MacBook or have specific storage for smartphones. On some models, there are even padded compartments to better protect your computer.

Do not drag your briefcase behind you when you have to walk long distances, thanks to the backpack, you offer both a practical accessory, comfortable and trendy. You will not hesitate in the morning for long hours because you can not take all your stuff for lack of space. The backpack will bring you many benefits. The only downside is that there are so many models that your choice may be difficult. Note that if you are looking for a bag only for your keys, your phone, and your wallet, you can opt for a small bag that has just as many benefits.
