Choose a hiking pack by volume and trip length: 20 to 30 liters for a day hike, 40 liters for a weekend or as a carry-on pack, and 60 liters or more for a long trek. Just as important as volume: a ventilated back system, hip straps that shift the weight to your hips, and easy-access pockets for water and a map.
How many liters do you really need?
A day hike with water and food: 20 to 30 liters. One night out or winter gear: 40 liters, which also meets carry-on dimensions on most airlines. Multi-day routes with overnight gear: 60 liters or more. A pack that's too big fills up with gear you don't need, and one that's too small barely closes.
Frequently asked questions
Which pack is right for a day hike?
20 to 30 liters with a ventilated back, room for a hydration bladder or bottles, and a stabilizing hip belt. That's enough for water, food, a warm layer and a first aid kit, without extra weight.
Can a 40 liter pack go on a plane?
On most airlines, yes. A reasonably packed 40 liter pack fits carry-on dimensions (about 55 x 40 x 23 cm, or 22 x 16 x 9 in). It's the popular choice for travelers who skip checked baggage.
What matters in a pack for kids?
Low weight, wide padded straps and a chest strap that keeps it from sliding off the shoulders. Rule of thumb: a full pack shouldn't weigh more than 10 to 15% of the child's body weight.
