Choosing the style and size of bag that is right for you depends on what you plan to use it for.
For a short walk a bumbag or waist pack will allow you to carry the essentials of water, a mars bar and a lightweight waterproof.
For a day hike a knapsack that is 30 litres or less will be ideal, but do bear in mind that it will be uncomfortable if you overload it.
For weekend trips and camping, where you need more equipment, a rucksack of between 30 and 60 litres will give you the space for additions such as a sleeping bag and straps to attach a tent.
Lightweight Backpacks
When heading off backpacking or on longer expeditions large packs of over 60 litres will give you the space that you need. Do remember however that the less you pack the better. It is always a good idea to lay out everything that you think you need and then pair it down to the key essentials. Think about multi use of clothing, for example shoes that you can both walk and in and wear to dinner.
In this section you will also find our child carriers when it isn’t just your packing that you need to carry!
