THE PRACTICE OF HIKING AND TREKKING

Do you know the real difference between hiking and trekking?

Hiking is a long-distance walk, whether on foot, bike or skis, while trekking is a hike in the mountains. It should be noted that the word "trekking" is now used for journeys lasting several days, regardless of location.

Hiking and trekking are universal activities open to both men and women, and require special equipment. That's why Alpinstore guides you in your choice of hiking equipment, including the best Deuter trekking backpacks.

Through its characteristics, this product will have a positive or negative impact on your hiking outings, which is why you need to equip yourself with a good backpack for your next outings. This model will carry all your gear, so make the right choice.

It's important to note that the backpack will hold all the stuff you want to take with you (food, clothing, etc.), whatever the route or distance you plan to cover. These bags must therefore be able to accommodate everything you need for your hike, while maximizing your comfort during the ride. That's why there are bags with different bedding volumes.

Depending on capacity, storage options and carrying comfort, hiking backpacks can also be used for travel.

Note that for mountaineering or trekking excursions, it's best to opt for a large-capacity hiking backpack, such as a 40-liter, 50-liter or 60-liter bag, so you can fit all the gear/clothes/equipment you need... Make sure this volume is well adapted to your morphology.

HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR HIKING BACKPACK?

Your backpack needs to be adapted to your activity, but also to your needs:

- Rucksack volume: you obviously need to take into account the volume of your rucksack (liters), but above all the way in which this volume is organized. Depending on your activity, you'll need to carry all your gear with you, so consider the Osprey large-bedded bag! If you're a woman, you'll be much more comfortable with a backpack adapted to your morphology.

- Bag organization: filling your bag is a key point. Depending on its shape and the number of liters it holds, you'll need different storage compartments. When hiking, it's essential to have outside pockets to keep things within easy reach. The flap pocket is also an interesting feature, as it allows you to store clothes very easily.

- Rucksack features: check to see if the rucksack comes with interesting features such as adjustable carrying straps, a rain cover, carrying straps (belt, chest strap), etc. Make sure your rucksack is not too heavy.

- Carrying comfort: this point is essential, as it's what's going to give you the most enjoyable time. You'll need to make sure it's comfortable to carry, with chest straps, waistbelt, back support and adjustable shoulder straps. The bag's weight is also an essential criterion to take into account!
