There are many brands of backpacks on the market now, with a wide variety of types, so that many consumers do not know how to choose a backpack that suits them. Now I will tell you some of my buying experience, so that you can have some reference when buying a backpack. I also hope that what I have said can help you when buying a backpack.
When buying a backpack, in addition to looking at the brand, style, color, weight, volume and other information of the backpack, the most important thing is to choose a backpack that is suitable for the activities you will perform. At present, although there are many types of backpacks on the market, they can be roughly divided into the following categories according to their use:
This type of backpack is mainly used for mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing and other activities. The volume of this backpack is about 25 liters to 55 liters. The most important thing to pay attention to when purchasing this type of backpack is to look at the stability of the bag and Sturdy and durable; because this kind of backpack is to be carried by the user when doing large-scale physical activities, its stability is required to be very high, and when doing activities such as mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, etc., the surrounding natural environment is It is relatively harsh, so the requirements for the durability of the backpack are also very strict, so as to ensure that climbers will not cause unnecessary trouble when the backpack is not strong. In addition, we should also pay attention to the comfort, breathability, convenience and self-weight of the backpack. Although these requirements are not as important as stability and durability, they are also very important.
This type of backpack is mainly used to carry during normal sports, such as: running, cycling, skiing, pulley, etc. The volume of this kind of backpack is about 2 liters to 20 liters. When purchasing this kind of backpack, the most important things to pay attention to are the stability, air permeability and backpack weight. The higher the stability, the closer the backpack will be to the body during exercise. Only in this way can it not affect the bearer’s various actions; and because it is a backpack carried during exercise, and it needs to be close to the body, the requirements for the breathability of the backpack are very high, and only this design can make the bearer’s The part of the body that fits with the pack is kept dry so that the wearer can feel comfortable. Another important requirement is the weight of the backpack itself; the lighter the backpack, the smaller the burden on the wearer and the less adverse effects on the wearer. Secondly, there are also requirements for the comfort and convenience of this backpack. After all, if it is uncomfortable to carry and it is inconvenient to take items, it is also a very awkward thing for the bearer. As for the perspective of durability In other words, this type of backpack is not so particular. After all, these types of backpacks are all small backpacks, and durability is not a special consideration.
This type of backpack is what our ALICE friends often carry. This kind of backpack can be subdivided into two types, one is a long-distance hiking backpack with a volume of more than 50 liters, and the other is a short- and medium-distance hiking backpack with a volume of about 20 liters to 50 liters. The requirements between the two backpacks not the same. Some players now prefer to use ultralight packs for long hikes, but this is not true. Because the most important thing to pay attention to when hiking long distances is not the weight of the backpack, but the comfort of the backpack. When doing long-distance hiking activities, you will need to bring a lot of things during these 3-5 days or more: tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, change of clothes, food, stoves, medicines , field first aid equipment, etc., compared with the weight of these things, the weight of the backpack itself is almost negligible. But there is one thing you can’t ignore, that is, after putting these things into the backpack, when you are carrying the entire backpack, can you move forward very easily and comfortably? If at this time your answer is yes, then congratulations, your whole journey will be very pleasant. If your answer is no, then congratulations, you have found the source of your unhappiness, and quickly change to a comfortable backpack! Therefore, the most important thing for long-distance hiking is the comfort when carrying, and there are also considerable requirements in terms of durability, breathability and convenience. For long-distance hiking backpacks, its own weight and carrying stability There are no special requirements. The weight of the backpack is negligible when carrying the full net worth, which I have said before. Moreover, this type of bag does not need to be as close to the body as a sports backpack, so stability is relatively less important. As for another short- and medium-distance hiking backpack, this backpack is mainly used for 1-day outdoor travel. In this case, players do not need to bring a lot of things, only need to bring some food, field stoves, etc. Therefore, there is nothing special to pay attention to when choosing this type of backpack. Just try whether the backpack is comfortable and breathable, whether it is convenient to use, and the self-weight should not be too heavy. Of course, it is also possible to use this type of bag for urban hiking.
This kind of backpack is very popular abroad, but it is not very popular in China at present. In fact, this type of backpack is mainly designed for people who go out to travel, especially when they need to pass through airport security checks and other places, the advantages of this type of backpack are reflected. This type of backpack generally has a hand The lever design allows you to pull forward directly when the ground is over smooth. When passing through the security check, because of the neat design of the backpack, it will not cause the situation that the items outside the backpack get stuck on the conveyor belt and cannot come down. (In the past, when I used a long-distance hiking backpack to go through the airport security check, it happened that the backpack was stuck on the conveyor belt because the backpack buckles and hanging points were not properly placed. After getting off the plane, I searched for more than an hour before I found it on the conveyor belt. My backpack, when I found it, the backpack buckle had been broken by the conveyor belt, and I was distressed to death!). In addition, foreign travel now has a very strict system for luggage and weight limits, so choosing a suitable travel bag can also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble. Moreover, many travel backpacks now have a mother-in-law design, which makes you no longer need to carry a large bag around after staying in a hotel, nor do you need to bring an extra small bag to occupy space. The design of the mother-in-law bag makes it convenient to use. very. Therefore, when choosing a travel backpack, the most important thing to pay attention to is the convenience of the backpack, followed by the durability of the backpack. As for comfort, stability, breathability, and the weight of the backpack, you don’t need to worry too much.
