Trekking Backpacks To Buy
We’ve got you covered when it comes to choosing the perfect backpack for your upcoming trekking adventure. Whether you’re setting out on a 4-day escape or a 10-day expedition, we’ve curated a list of top-rated backpacks that meet the needs of both casual and seasoned trekkers.
We understand that selecting the right backpack can be a bit overwhelming, so we surveyed experienced trekkers to get their honest input on the packs they trust most. Interestingly, the majority recommended backpacks in the 40L to 60L range—a sweet spot for both capacity and comfort.
This is great news if you’re worried about needing a massive 90L pack. A 60L backpack is typically more than enough for most multi-day treks and encourages you to pack smart and carry only the essentials.
Before we dive into our top backpack picks, here’s a quick suggestion:
If you’re new to trekking, consider renting your gear before buying. It’s a cost-effective way to access high-quality equipment without a big upfront investment.
However, if you’re a frequent trekker ready to invest in a quality backpack, the options below are some of the best available.
Please note:
These backpacks were recommended by real hikers based on their personal experience.

We’ve evaluated these options based on comfort, design, compactness, padding, and overall convenience.
Most of these are ideal for Himalayan treks and longer expeditions, rather than short day hikes.
