In this category you will find for you a backpack for mountain expeditions. Such a backpack is characterized, first of all, by its large capacity - definitely more than an everyday backpack for school, work or cycling. Of course, not all models here have more than 40 or 50 liters. You will also find models a little under 40 liters, and we classify them as expedition backpacks for a simple reason. Most often they have the ability to cinch additional bags, which increase the overall capacity of the backpack.
Choosing a backpack for mountain expeditions will obviously be a good decision not only if you are hiking in the mountains. You're in a good place if you're simply looking for a large backpack to serve you during various off-road excursions - especially longer, multi-day ones. In our offer you can find a lightweight expedition backpack or military models, which are characterized by greater weight, but at the same time are more durable. Backpacks in this category are suggestions from various manufacturers for making your travels easier. For example, you will find here backpacks from a popular Polish brand - Wisport. From foreign companies, you can find here, for example, models from Deuter or Brandit. Deuter's backpacks are typically hiking, lightweight and functional models, while from Brandit or Wisport you will buy a military expedition backpack.
A backpack for mountain or survival expeditions is not only its capacity. Also important in such equipment is the arrangement of pockets and their number. A backpack that has one main compartment and 2/3 small pockets is less practical than one that has a main pocket, several smaller pockets and small organizers. A lightweight expedition backpack, on the other hand, will usually feature just one large main compartment and possibly a few small pockets. This solution is usually used in typical hiking backpacks.
If you want more pockets, small organizers, space for a laptop and a molle system, then you definitely need to be interested in a military expedition backpack. Such models are very practical in terms of the distribution of pockets and the strength of the entire structure. The additional use of the Molle system will give you the opportunity to cinch an additional pannier or bag to hold the necessary accessories. The disadvantage of such backpacks, however, is the higher weight.
An important factor when deciding to buy an expedition backpack is also the material from which it is made. The most important materials are nylon and Cordura. Nylon is a lightweight but durable material that is mainly used in large hiking backpacks, for example, an 80l expedition backpack made of nylon will still be quite light despite its large size. However, if the material of the 80l expedition backpack was cordura or tough polyester, the weight would definitely be higher. In this case, when is it worth choosing models made of materials other than nylon? Mainly when you are carrying heavy equipment, with sharp edges, moving in difficult terrain. This is because Cordura will provide far greater strength and tear resistance. Strong polyester will also be a good option and a little cheaper.
Thinking about buying a backpack for mountain expeditions and thinking, what else might be important? Capacity is important, because the bigger it is, the more stuff you will take with you. Strong material is important so that the backpack won't crack. Additional pockets and compartments will allow for better organization. Other things you need to take a look at before buying are: adjustable suspenders, hip belt, back ventilation, back hardening, compression strap system.
Thanks to the adjustable suspenders, you will adjust the backpack to your own figure and adjust according to the current load. The hip belt will relieve the load on your back and stabilize the backpack. It works great on longer hikes and dynamic walks. Back ventilation is thermal comfort and guarantees a dry back - especially when combined with a breathable T-shirt, sweatshirt or jacket. Back hardening will protect against discomfort resulting from unevenly stacked luggage inside. And finally - compression straps. Thanks to them you will stiffen the structure when there are few things in the backpack. This will protect the luggage inside from shifting and improve the comfort of your hike.
Whether you are looking for a lightweight expedition backpack or a rugged, heavy-duty one, we assure you that you will find something for you in the MILITARY.EU store. You can choose from a variety of manufacturers, sizes, colors and designs. In addition to the brands previously mentioned, you will also find such companies as Texar, Mil-Tec, Pentagon and others. We encourage you to take a look at the full offer and choose your favorite model for yourself.
