Men's backpacks: how to choose the right capacity? The capacity of a backpack, usually expressed in litres, is one of the key factors to consider when choosing a model for a specific activity. The final choice of backpack depends on the type of activity, the length of the trip and the amount of things you intend to take. Consider how much stuff you plan to carry in your backpack. It is a good idea to tailor the capacity of your backpack to your specific hike or activity. Short hikes require a smaller capacity, while for longer trips you need a larger backpack, but with good space organisation to avoid carrying unnecessary ballast. It is important to adjust the capacity and weight of the contents sensibly to avoid overloading and hindering you during the more demanding parts of your trip, whether on foot, by bike or on skis.
Here are some examples of how to adjust the litre of a rucksack:
day trips - for short trips such as day hikes in the mountains, walks or sightseeing, a smaller backpack with a capacity of 10 to 30 litres is usually sufficient. Such a backpack can accommodate essentials such as provisions, a water bottle, change of clothes and possibly camera-type equipment;
weekend trips - if you are planning a weekend trip such as a short hike or camping trip, a backpack with a capacity of 30-50 litres will be suitable. It will accommodate more things, including a tent, sleeping bag and other necessary equipment;
multi-day trips - for long hiking or cycling trips, including trekking, backpacks with a capacity of 50-80 litres or more are suitable. This capacity allows you to take more equipment, food, clothing and other necessary items with you;
backpacks for specialised equipment - if your trip involves a specific activity, such as climbing, skiing, photography or diving, you may need a backpack specifically designed to carry the relevant equipment. The capacity and configuration of such a backpack depends on the type of equipment you intend to take.
What to look for when choosing a backpack for the active man? The capacity of a backpack is just one of the factors to consider when making a purchase. Other important aspects include carrying comfort, carrying systems, number of pockets and compartments, durability and waterproofing, depending on the weather conditions you will be facing during your trip.
Here are some key aspects to consider when buying a backpack:
size - make sure the backpack fits your height and figure. Choose a model that has adjustable shoulder and hip straps to ensure a proper fit. Ergonomic design and padded straps can make it more comfortable to wear;
Carrying system - if you are planning long hikes or heavy loads, pay attention to the backpack's carrying system. An advanced carry system that distributes weight appropriately on the hips can significantly improve carrying comfort;
material and durability - choose a rucksack made of durable material that is weatherproof. A good quality zip and robust stitching are also important for the durability of the backpack;
number of pockets and compartments - consider how many compartments and pockets you need to organise your belongings. For many people, there is a need to separate wet clothes from dry clothes or carry a laptop in a separate pocket;
Waterproofing - if you intend to use your backpack in changing weather conditions or are going to areas with high humidity or frequency of rainfall, pay attention to the waterproofing of the backpack and the presence of a rain cover. This will protect your belongings from moisture;
additional features - some men's backpacks have additional features such as reflective elements for safety in less visible conditions, an opening for headphones, an anti-theft pocket for valuables or straps or straps for attaching external equipment (e.g. climbing helmet, tent, carrimata, etc.).
