How to Choose a Comfortable Backpack

Remember when selecting a backpack was merely a process of deciding if you wanted a frameless, external frame, or internal frame pack? Backpacks have since evolved to where many more factors have to be considered in order to find the right pack for a specific adventure.


The biggest factor when sussing out all the features of a backpack is the suspension system. Even with a super light pack, your back is going to take a toll if you don’t have the right suspension system. Backpacks were invented to be placed on your back for a long time while carrying lots of stuff. So you need to make sure your pack supports your back while properly distributing the weight around your torso.
