Got Questions?

❓ What size backpack do I need?
For day hikes: 15-30L. Weekend trips: 30-50L. Week-long trips: 50-70L. Thru-hikes: 40-65L depending on gear. Choose based on trip length and gear volume.
❓ How do I measure my torso for a backpack?
Measure from the C7 vertebra (base of neck) to the top of your hip bones. Most packs come in S (15-17 in), M (17-19 in), and L (19-21 in) torso sizes.
❓ How should I pack a hiking backpack?
Heavy items close to your back and centered between shoulders and hips. Light items at the bottom and top. Frequently needed items in lid and hip belt pockets.
❓ What is the difference between internal and external frame packs?
Internal frame packs hug your body for better balance on trails. External frame packs carry heavier loads and allow more airflow but are less stable on rugged terrain.
