Weight

The shelter, sleeping bag, sleeping pad and the backpack will be the heaviest pieces that you will be carrying for the hiking trip. Therefore, it is so important to have a backpack that is light so that you can reduce the overall weight you will carry.

Price

It is important to take good care of your backpack so that it lasts many years. Therefore it is essential to invest in a high quality backpack that will accompany you to the hiking trip. Make sure to invest in a good quality backpack that is cost-effective as well.

Inside Frame

Lighter backpacks always have a less bulky frame which is designed with modern materials and has a great appeal. Basic backpacks have simple frames and can carry load up to 35lb. Ideally you should look for big backpacks that has an extra padding to keep them comfortable with big loads and they’re generally built with more sturdy materials because of the extra stress and wear they get.

Materials

A good quality lightweight backpack is made out of two main types of materials. The Tyvek has the characteristics of environmental protection, waterproof, super light, non-toxic, tear resistance, soft touch etc but much more expensive, and the ripstop nylon is heavier but cheaper. You won’t go wrong with either choice since the materials are very durable and functional and there are some great lightweight packs made from them.

Design

The primary purpose of your backpack will be to carry your equipment in a way that’s comfortable and non-damaging to your body. If you are looking for specific features like zippers, compartments, straps and clips all over the bag then look for such bags that add a functional edge to the design.
