A backpack on wheels - a tribute to fashion or a necessity dictated by time? Choosing a good travel backpack. What you should pay attention to first: The best backpack with an easel frame

So you're going on a hike. The route has been chosen, the place has been booked, the tickets have been purchased, you are standing in the middle of the room, things are laid out on the floor, a backpack is in the center and the main question of any novice hiker is: “How? How can I put it all in my backpack?”

We will try to help you solve this problem and describe the most common principles in this article: how to choose tourist backpack ; how to properly assemble it, how to adjust it correctly, how to properly wear a backpack on a hike, and we’ll give you the most common mistakes, which beginners admit during preparations before the hike.

Our article will help you correctly choose tourist backpack so that you don't get confused when standing in the store and looking at huge selection all kinds of models.

We also note that a backpack, shoes and a tent are something we recommend not saving on and approaching the choice of this equipment with particular seriousness.

Experienced tourists will confirm our words that there is no universal backpack and every trip has its own nuances. The first backpack will serve you for as long as possible if, before you go to buy it, you already know exactly the schedule of your trips for the season. But even if you follow all our recommendations, only after walking a few tens of kilometers with a backpack behind you will you be able to understand exactly what kind of backpack you want to wear, and what features of it are especially important to you.

The first thing you need to know about a travel backpack is that backpacks differ in volume, which is measured in liters. In a specialized store you can find backpacks from 40 before 130 liters In addition, there are female and male models and models with different types designs.

You should also decide on the type of hike and the climatic conditions that will exist along the entire route.

So, for a winter hike you need to take more things, which means you need a larger backpack. The amount of things you need to pack on a boat trip is significantly different from a trip across the mountains and plains. Please note that, for example, climbing Elbrus begins in a temperature range of about +15 +20, and at the top it can be down to -20. We recommend checking this point with the organizers of your trip in advance.

What size backpack should I choose?

Of course, you can pack all the necessary things into a small backpack, but to do this you need to know how to pack equipment correctly and considerable dexterity, which comes with experience. In addition, with a small backpack, there is often a need to hang large items “overboard”, which can cause a lot of inconvenience. With a large backpack, the situation is quite the opposite: the temptation to put a lot of unnecessary things is too great and the weight of the backpack can become simply incredible.

Depending on the build and preparation, an adult going going on a weekend trip, a backpack is enough 40-65 liters

— hiking on relatively flat terrain men need from 80 to 100 liters, women – from 60 to 80 liters;
— for mountain tourism men should stock up on a backpack of 90 liters or more, women the same 60-80 liters;
— water tourism or hiking with skis requires the presence of additional gear and equipment, therefore recommended volumes are from 130 liters for men and from 80 liters for women.

These numbers are very arbitrary, but they will help you navigate in choosing the right backpack for your first trip. We should also not forget about the individual characteristics of each person. For example, a fragile girl can comfortably cover huge distances under a backpack of 80 liters, while young man Hiking can seem like hell with a 60 liter backpack. Everything is very individual and can only be learned through practice.

Some of the quality backpack manufacturers make backpacks in sizes (from S to XL) or with the ability to adjust the size yourself.

Types of backpacks:

Easel backpacks They have a strong frame in their design, to which a suspension (belts, belt, straps) and a bag are attached. This version of the backpack was very popular at the end of the last century, but now it is practically not used by tourists, because... The frame is quite heavy in weight and extremely rigid to use.

Frame backpack type is now the most popular type of travel backpack, thanks to the most thoughtful weight distribution due to special inserts made of plastic or metal. Most often, the plates are sewn into the backpack, but there are also models with removable “plates”, which makes storing the backpack easier (it can be rolled up).

Soft design backpack and is due to the absence of any rigid inserts. This greatly simplifies its storage (it can be compactly folded both on a hike if necessary, and at home when there are no hikes), however, such backpacks need to be able to be laid out correctly in order to make it rigid using your own things, and this is not an easy task for beginners.

Structural elements of a tourist backpack:

Webbing system– this is 80% of your comfort on a hike. The straps should be firmly attached to the frame of the backpack, be elastic and soft, all seams should be well stitched, not slip and not cut into the neck. When trying on a backpack in a store, pay attention to the buckles; they should allow the tourist to adjust the straps in an already worn and loaded backpack.

Unloading belt– redistributes the load from the shoulders and spine to the hips. The belt should be approximately at the level of the bones on the hips. Make sure that the belt is wide enough and soft. It is very important that a comfortable buckle is attached to it, allowing you not only to adjust it to the structure of your body as much as possible, but also to quickly remove the backpack if necessary.

Flap and pockets– used mainly for storing small items that are often needed while moving, or for those items that do not fit into the main volume of the backpack. And if all modern models have a valve, and also serve to protect things from rain, then manufacturers are increasingly abandoning pockets, because... By loading them, the tourist increases the volume and shifts the center of gravity of the load.

Additional loops, ties, fastenings serve to attach to a backpack necessary tools(for example, ice axes, rope, even a tent).

Lower entrance may not always be useful, especially if you have placed a rug around the entire perimeter of the backpack, so this detail may be considered “optional” when choosing your first backpack for a hike.

Waterproof cover Modern models often come with a backpack included. It protects your things from getting wet during a long trek in the rain, from dirt, and is even used to transport a backpack through water.

Your actions in the store when buying a tourist backpack:

• carefully study the design of the backpack;
• pay attention to the quality of fabric and seams;
• all buckles and fasteners must be strong, and ties must pass through them freely;
• the material on the back should be soft and, preferably, with a ventilating insert;
• the level of fastening of the straps on the back should be approximately in the middle of the shoulder blades; if this mark is noticeably higher or lower, then you should choose a different backpack according to size or height;
• adjust the loaded backpack, fastening and tightening all possible fastenings, until the ideal result.

How to pack a backpack correctly

The main rule here is proper weight distribution.

Before you start packing your backpack, make a list of the things you will need on your hike, lay the items on the floor and distribute them into groups: for example, things for sleeping, general equipment, heavy items, items often used on a hike, bulky items, clothes.

Try to use the entire volume of the backpack and leave no empty spaces, because... during movement, this will lead to a shift in weight in the backpack and entail a lot of inconvenience.

And now point by point:

• at the very bottom they put bulky things and things that will be useful only in the evening or while staying (sleeping clothes, sleeping bag), the tent and sleeping mat are usually secured from the outside;
• the heaviest things are distributed along the back, while trying to put soft objects between things and your back, this way you will avoid sharp corners that will fit into your back;
• It is better to pack the items of the group that were distributed to you in a separate bag so that you can get them out easily and not search for too long throughout the backpack;
• items that you plan to use frequently (camera, phone, map, medicine, water, protective equipment from insects, etc.) should be placed at the very top to simplify the process of accessing them;
• It is better to pack all small-sized items in a separate container or bag so that they do not scatter throughout the backpack;
• It is better to pack documents, money, phones, chargers and anything else that is a pity in waterproof bags;
• It is better to place fragile items and crumbling products as close to the top as possible.
  Once your backpack is assembled, put it on, adjust it, and walk around. You should be comfortable and comfortable. If this is not the case, try moving things around to equalize the center of gravity of the load.

How to properly adjust a backpack

When you have decided what to pack for your trip and have packed your things correctly, it is time to put on your backpack and adjust it so that the trip is as comfortable as possible and does not turn into a nightmare.

The first desire - to pick up the backpack and forcefully throw it over your shoulders - should be ignored. The weight of the backpack is quite significant and such an attempt may not be successful and may even lead to injury.

In order to correctly adjust a tourist backpack filled with things, you should loosen the straps and place it, holding it by the handle, on some elevation (at home it can be a chair, table, cabinet), and only then alternately put the straps on your shoulders.
If there is no elevation at hand, then you can use your own leg bent at the knee instead.

Adjusting the backpack should begin with the lower fastenings. Pull the weight belt so that the buckle is midway between your thighs. The belt should fit your hips as anatomically as possible and take up to half the weight of the backpack.
After this, start adjusting the shoulder straps. You should not pull them up too actively, so as not to transfer all the weight from the unloading belt to your shoulders, but not too weakly, so that the backpack does not tip back when walking. Make sure that the straps do not dig into your neck and that the chest strap does not interfere with free breathing and movement.
If this is your first experience of assembling and adjusting a backpack, then we recommend walking around the apartment in it or even taking a walk around the yard in order to fit it as accurately as possible. If you are not comfortable, you should take out excess items or redistribute the weight within the backpack space.

How to wear a backpack correctly

In order to understand how to wear a backpack correctly, just follow the rules that we stated above:

1. You shouldn’t skimp on a backpack, but we wouldn’t recommend thoughtlessly buying the most expensive first backpack either.
2. You shouldn't buy a backpack online. It’s better to spend a little time, go to the store, try everything on.
3. You need to choose a backpack based on: a) your own anatomical features and preferences (no one has canceled the concept of a “beautiful backpack”), b) hiking conditions (hiking, mountain, water, etc.), c) quality of materials, threads and accessories, d) own feelings.
4. The heaviest things in the backpack should be located along the back, the most necessary ones - on top, those that will be needed only in the evening - at the very bottom.
5. There should be no empty spaces in the backpack.
6. A correctly put on and adjusted backpack is comfortable to wear, does not move anywhere when moving, and fits tightly.
7. With an assembled, adjusted backpack, you should walk around, try to bend in different directions, and make sure you are confident in your movements.
8. Please note that personal belongings on a hike should not exceed 10 kg! Another 4 to 12 kg will be added to them (depending on the duration and autonomy of the hike and your gender). Normal weight a backpack for a hike of average difficulty for 10 days for a girl is about 17 kg, and for a man about 23 kg.

We wish you nothing but the most amazing backpacking experience and hope this article helps you choose your ideal first backpacking backpack.

We also have useful articles on choosing other equipment needed for hiking.

Experienced travelers never skimp on two things: shoes and a backpack. Their choice must be made with special care, since you will have to wear shoes all day, and you will have to carry a duffel bag behind your shoulders for many kilometers. There are no universal duffel bags, so it is important to know how to choose a backpack for a hike so that it does not become a heavy burden on the road.

You need to choose a backpack responsibly

Only recommendations and experience from the path traveled will help determine whether the right backpack for hiking has been chosen, and what features are important specifically for everyone. In order not to make a mistake, the choice of backpack should be made after you have decided exactly what area you are going to, what you will take with you and in what quantity. In addition, the climatic features of the area and the time of year for travel must be taken into account. If you have planned a winter hike, for example, decided to celebrate the New Year in Altai, it would be logical to choose a larger backpack compared to equipment for a hike in warm weather. The amount of equipment for a water trip differs significantly from the equipment for a mountain or forest trip. To go to the mountains, you need to take into account that the ascent can begin with a temperature of +20 C, and at the top the air temperature is -20 C. These and many other features are very important to consider when purchasing a backpack for a hike.

Bag volume

You need to decide on the volume of your backpack

With the proper skill and dexterity, even the most compact duffel bag can contain all the necessary things. But, as often happens, large items will be attached to the outside of the bag, which is not always convenient. A duffel bag that is too large creates the temptation to pack a lot of things on the road, which will make the weight of the equipment unbearable. Therefore, it is recommended that before packing, make an exact list of necessary things for the trip, and strictly follow each item, no more, no less. How to choose the right backpack size?

• 45-60 liters is a sufficient volume for an average-sized adult going outdoors for the weekend.
• 80-130 for men and 65-80 liters for women - the volume for hiking for a long time over rough terrain. These backpacks are designed for a trip that will last more than a week.
• 100-110 liters for men, 65-80 liters for women - the volume of a backpack for hiking in the mountains.
• A volume of 130 liters for men, and 80-100 liters for women is required during a ski or water trip.

The weight of the duffel bag is selected individually in proportion to the weight and body type of the tourist. When choosing the weight of hiking equipment, it is very important to take into account that the more pockets and other separate devices, the more the backpack will weigh. A convenient empty duffel bag weighs no more than 2.5 kg. Therefore, you need to choose a bag that has exactly as many pockets as are vital to have quick access to some things.

Design and type of bag

Exist different designs and types of hiking bags

Backpacks of different sizes have approximately the same design:

• Waist belt with waist stabilizers. It is equipped with a quick release buckle.
• Side ties
• Straps with guy lines. These are adjustment straps that distribute the load of the shoulder straps, and a chest strap to secure the shoulder straps.
• Top valve
• Back lining made of soft material.
• Lower compartment with separate access, dividing the interior space.

An important part is the wide waist belt, which takes on all the load if adjusted correctly.

It should be attached just below the waist. The straps should be wide and soft. The width between them should correspond to the width of the shoulders, otherwise they will slide or press. It is better to choose models with a quick-release flap than an unfastening one. The side ties should be long enough to accommodate a rug or small tent underneath.

There are three main types of hiking duffel bags:

1. Easel

Easel travel bag

Their design is based on a frame to which a bag, straps, adjustable straps and a belt are attached. It allows you to evenly distribute the load, but at the same time adds additional weight to the entire equipment. But easel backpacks are convenient for carrying heavy things on long hikes. IN Lately they are rarely used by tourists because the frame is heavy, and if it breaks during camping conditions it is difficult to replace or repair.

1. Semi-stationary

Half-stack hiking bag with sewn-in plastic elements

They have special plastic or metal inserts on the back that support the anatomical shape of the backpack and distribute the load as comfortably as possible. They can be sewn into it or be removable, then the duffel bag can be rolled up if necessary. They are most widespread because they are more convenient to carry, and the frame back conveniently distributes the load along the spine. When carried, its shape does not deform, and if desired, you can remove the frame plates, turning it into a soft backpack. However, the semi-stationary ones include the most expensive models. In addition, the frame adds weight to the backpack, and the shape of the frame allows you to accommodate a smaller volume of things than an easel or soft design.

1. Soft

Ordinary soft backpack

In other words, frameless. The pendant is sewn to the bag, which is very important to lay down correctly before the hike so that it is easy to carry. In addition, when carried, such a backpack becomes deformed, taking on a different shape than it had at the beginning. But they are lighter than frame ones, their cost is cheaper, and if necessary, such a duffel bag can be rolled up.

How to choose the right backpack

To choose the right backpack, you should consider the recommendations of experienced travelers:

• It is recommended to choose a hiking bag with a back made of ventilated material.
• The stiffeners must be sewn in.
• For ease of carrying, the straps should be curved, adjustable in length and no narrower than 6 cm.
• The bottom should be tight so as not to sag under the weight of the luggage.
• The best materials for hiking backpacks are nylon or polyester because they dry quickly.
• It is good if the duffel bag is equipped with a cover that protects from rain.
• Trying on the selected backpack must be done with clothes on, and you can walk around with it for about ten minutes to evaluate its comfort and suitable weight.
• It is desirable that the bottom is made of cordura fabric.
• The duffel bag should have easy access to things both from below and from above.

Hiking backpack

Hiking backpack

To hike on foot, it is recommended to choose expedition or trekking backpacks; this choice depends on the duration of the walking trip. Expedition backpacks They have a large volume, they do not have any external fastenings for additional equipment. If this is a long hike on foot over rough terrain, it is recommended to opt for a trekking backpack equipped with external mounts for various equipment.

The size of the bag will depend on the time of year. So, for a two-week summer hiking trip you will need a backpack with a volume of 55-60 liters, for a winter one – 70 liters. You should not choose a lightweight duffel bag if you are planning a hiking trip; it is made of lightweight fabrics that wear out quickly, and the lightweight design is inconvenient for long-term wearing because it has a weak and soft back and suspension system. A bag with two separately opening compartments, upper and lower, is very convenient when you need to quickly get something out. But it is best to choose a model in which the upper and lower sections are transformed into one common one in order to create the ability to carry large items.

Backpack for hiking in the forest

Backpack for hiking in the forest

If the purpose of a forest walk is to pick mushrooms and berries, with the possibility of a one-day overnight stay, you should opt for a bag for equipment of a small volume (up to 40 liters), of a soft design, since during this trip there is no need to carry a large amount of things with you, besides , a heavy backpack will interfere with the main purpose of the hike. If the goal is hunting or fishing, for a trip to the forest you should choose a trekking backpack equipped with various fastenings for external equipment, and additional pockets for carrying various items and accessories used for fishing or hunting.

For hunters, there are special tactical backpacks with a capacity of up to 80 liters, designed for a hike lasting 2-3 days. This is an easel or semi-easel duffel bag in camouflage color with a high-quality fastening system, wide straps, a reinforced bottom, and a belt equipped with fastenings for cartridges and a gun.

Backpacks for hiking in the mountains

Backpack for hiking in the mountains

An experienced mountain traveler chooses an assault backpack. This is a small structure with hanging systems. Their volume is 20-50 liters, they are very durable, made of fabric resistant to external influences and mechanical damage, with a minimum number of pockets, duffel bags. In accordance with the specifics of mountain hiking, backpacks have a streamlined shape with a minimum of protruding parts. Often models for mountain climbing are equipped with a system for drinking water using a straw coming from the backpack. Summarizing the characteristics of what a backpack should be like for a short or long climb into the mountains, we can say: it should be a backpack made of special durable material, small in volume, light in weight, extremely comfortable, so as not to catch the edges on stones and attach all the necessary equipment to external fastenings.

A separate group is worth highlighting backpacks for freeriders and back-country lovers, whose goal is not only to climb the mountain, but also to descend it on skis or snowboards. The main difference between these backpacks is the presence of characteristic design elements: the presence of special pockets and compartments for a ski mask, an avalanche probe, a snow shovel, an avalanche beeper, and a first aid kit. An important element of a freeride backpack is special back protection.

In our mobile age, more and more more people want to go on a trip on their vacation. In order to always have the necessary things at hand, many tourists use backpacks on wheels. Travel essentials easily fit into the various compartments of these spacious bags, and the design features make it easy to forget about the considerable weight. However, long trips- this is by no means the only case when a backpack on wheels can fully demonstrate all its advantages. School models have proven themselves to be a necessary item for the modern student.

On wheels: pros and cons

To begin with, a number of orthopedic researchers are of the opinion that carrying heavy school textbooks in a familiar briefcase is risky because it can cause damage to the spine and lead to pinched spinal nerves. On the other hand, there are those who say that a backpack on wheels reduces physical activity, so necessary for a young age. In their opinion, wearing school supplies behind your back massages the spine when walking and improves blood circulation in the brain and back muscles. It is difficult to say whose point of view is closest to the truth. In this matter, everything depends on the individual physical characteristics of the schoolchild or schoolgirl, and parents themselves must decide what will be better for the child: a backpack on wheels or a regular school backpack with straps. Right choice requires taking into account many factors: certification, dimensions, length and width of straps, etc. To make the selection task easier, you can use the following hint: the maximum weight of textbooks and school accessories on the back should not exceed 10-15% of the child’s weight. If calculations show the opposite, then a children's backpack on wheels will be the best solution. Many parents and children fell in love with this thing so much that they can’t imagine how they used to get by with an ordinary backpack, which constantly chafed their shoulders.

Characteristics

First difference school backpack on wheels from travel bags is that they are made from stain-resistant polyester. This material is universal and can be used in any weather. Very often, a children's backpack on wheels is equipped with a durable waterproof plastic floor, a solid frame and a large volume for all kinds of school paraphernalia. Ergonomic straps provide pleasant wearing comfort. Every year such bags are constantly improved, becoming more elegant and practical.

Which model should you choose?

The Winx backpack on wheels is especially popular among little schoolgirls. It is based on the children's series "School for Sorceresses" and will be a wonderful gift for every young fan of this series. This backpack has an image of a fairy and the Winx Club emblem. There are many types of bags in this category. For a boy, you can choose a sports style wheeled bag. Spacious backpacks with racing cars and transformers are also popular among schoolchildren. Equipped with bright illumination, they are able to reflect active light, thereby providing an additional level of safety.

Any trip requires special equipment that can provide convenience, comfort and safety during the trip or hike. Even in the most difficult conditions, the traveler needs to eliminate unnecessary problems associated with carrying the necessary things. The rating of the best travel backpacks will help you choose the model that is ideal for its owner.

Hiking bags and backpacks have been transformed and improved over the years and today, thanks to modern materials and technologies, there is a large selection of backpacks with their own characteristics suitable for each type of tourism.

Camping backpack

Equipment of this type allows you to carry all the necessary things without problems and comfortably. Hiking backpacks come in two types - for weekend hikes and so-called assault backpacks. The first type is intended for a short and not very difficult trip - for example, on a picnic, fishing, hunting, or in the forest to pick mushrooms. This backpack is not equipped with additional functions necessary for a mountaineering trip or a long solo trip. Main features of a backpack for weekend hikes:

• small volume (from 20-50 l - women's backpack, up to 50-70 l - men's backpack);
• simple design;
• affordable price.

Assault backpack

So named because of its special design, which allows the most necessary assault equipment to be placed outside. Designed for small climbs, short hikes, but is designed for maximum extreme sports and is ready for severe tests. Externally, it has a streamlined shape and is not overloaded with a large number of external pockets, thereby eliminating the danger of them getting caught on protrusions or branches. Its features:

• small volume (20-50 l);
• high strength;
• not afraid of loads and mechanical stress;
• does not deteriorate under the influence of weather conditions;
• light and comfortable.

Mountain Hiking Backpack

This is the most expensive type of equipment. These also include “clothing assistants” for extreme skiing disciplines, such as freeride (skiing or snowboarding outside special prepared trails) and backcountry (on foot ascent and descent on skis or snowboard also on unprepared terrain).

Features of this type of backpacks:

• allows you to secure skis for carrying;
• has many special pockets for ski equipment and a first aid kit;
• special insulated drinking system;
• back protection;
• “Airbag” is a system for survival in the event of an avalanche.

Backpacks for trekking (hiking)

The most diverse type, with many options for designs, designs, various materials And individual characteristics. They are distinguished by practicality, versatility in use, convenience, indispensable when hiking in the mountains or wooded areas. They have wide choose volume (50-70 l, 60-80 l, 80-100 l and more), and also differ in design. Thus, there are easel backpacks with a rigid back (having an external frame) and anatomical ones (with an internal frame).

Easel ones are less popular and are gradually becoming a thing of the past, but are still widely used in short hikes, as well as speleological and water expeditions.

Features of the easel backpack:

• the frame is made of light alloy;
• has a suspension system (wide shoulder straps, soft back, waist belt);
• the ability to carry small but heavy items.

Anatomical backpacks, with a volume of 30 liters or more, are very popular; their designs come with soft and hard parts of the frame, complex and simple, and also with the possibility of customization (some parts of the frame can be detached). There are anatomical backpacks with an external frame, where the main elements are located on the outside, which provides additional ventilation to the back. However, this type is bulky, increases the load on the back and is very backward. In addition, the backpack configuration is inconvenient for packing large items.

Most modern backpacks, having complex designs created to suit all kinds of needs, may be at a disadvantage compared to simpler models that do not have a frame. And above all, this concerns weight and dimensions. Modern technologies, allow you to reduce the volume of things needed on a hike to ten kilograms, while a well-equipped backpack itself weighs about three, which significantly increases the total weight of the belongings carried on your back.

The frameless one is lightweight, its volume is no more than 30 liters, and the shape is a quite convenient and roomy bag. Moreover, it is made of durable material. Of course, there are also more spacious backpacks, which are something intermediate between a simple backpack-bag and a high-tech invention of our time.

How to choose the right backpack?

First of all, you should decide on its purpose, choose the type and then draw up the basic requirements for it. When choosing a backpack, it is easiest to navigate by the list of key criteria and selection parameters, including weight and volume, as well as price and functionality.

Therefore, it is worth making a choice in favor of reliability and quality and, of course, purpose.

*Review of the best sites according to the editors. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective in nature, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.

Backpacks today are not only a sports wardrobe item, they are in demand in the daily life of adults and children. Orthopedists approve of the choice of backpacks, because they are much safer for posture than bags with one strap, which often cause curvature of the spine and asymmetry of the shoulder girdle with frequent and significant loading.

How to choose a backpack

When choosing a backpack, in addition to the aesthetic aspect, it is important to consider:

1. Purpose. There are models designed for hiking, cycling, city life, and studying.
2. Size matters: for children and adults, backpacks differ in volume, it is important to take into account both the weight of the product and the expected load.
3. Waterproof important if the backpack does not have a protective cover, and the contents must be kept dry (gadgets, valuables). To make the bag, waterproof membranes, sealed pocket zippers, and separate film inserts are used. Hiking and cycling backpacks are often equipped with a protective cover.
4. Functionality is largely determined by purpose: models of individual groups differ in the number of pockets and volume, as well as fabric. So, you won’t be able to go to work with a hiking backpack, and a school one won’t be convenient for a bike ride or an outing.

A backpack is a solution for people leading an active lifestyle, for whom freedom of hands is important. Experts from the online magazine EXPERTOLOGY studied consumer demand for backpacks and, taking into account user opinions and the main characteristics of the models, compiled a rating of the best backpacks for different occasions.
