The best bags for the mountains and hiking

Explore the German brand DEUTER, the Californian brand OSPREY as well as the Italian brand FERRINO : these 3 brands offer products that complement our range, perfect for travellers and hikers who want to protect their back.

Whether in smaller volumes for day hiking or in larger packs for your trekking and travel expeditions, these bags offer optimised storage accessible via top, front and bottom openings, plus numerous pockets adapted for maps, a hydration bladder, a camera or any other accessory. You'll also find attachment points for trekking poles, an ice axe, a helmet or your ski touring skis.

Thanks to the easily adjustable straps, you can distribute the load evenly for optimal stability during your outings. With frames adapted to different body shapes and mobile, ergonomic stabilisers, you'll conserve energy by moving in harmony with your body. You'll also find optimised back ventilation to support you on your travels. Crafted with great attention to quality and finish, they will meet the expectations of even the most demanding users.

A wide range of backpacks for all your activities

From small 12-liter hiking backpacks to larger 70-liter-plus trek backpacks, you'll find impeccable quality and rock-solid durability that make these backpacks a reliable choice for all your outings, treks, expeditions and mountain hikes.

This wide range of backpacks will equip you for short day hikes, for travel with everything you need close to hand, for trekking and long-distance hiking with the larger packs, or for ski touring with packs specially designed and fitted with ski carriers.

The baby carrier: an essential accessory for hiking with the family

A love of the mountains knows no age. For all nature enthusiasts, we offer a selection of hiking baby carriers to let you enjoy the magic of the mountains with your child and introduce them to this world.

How to pack your hiking bag properly?

At the bottom of the pack, place your sleeping gear (down, sleeping mat) and your spare clothes and shoes. In the middle, store your tent vertically, your stove, your cookset and food — all as close to your spine as possible. Slide your hydration bladder along the back panel. At the top of the pack, keep your fleece within easy reach, your waterproof jacket and your first-aid kit. In the various pockets of the pack, you can store sunscreen, maps, a compass and sunglasses. Energy bars or your camera can go in the belt pocket for quicker access.

Finally, your telescopic poles are best stored on the outside of the pack, vertically.

What is the maximum weight for a hiking bag?

For a multi-day hiking trip, the maximum recommended weight for a backpack is 20% of the carrier's body weight.

How to choose a hiking backpack suited to your body shape?

A backpack is like a piece of clothing — it needs to fit your size and body shape.

Very important: a men's backpack is not the same shape as a women's backpack. To choose the right hiking backpack, it is recommended to pick one that matches your gender — but above all, one that is adjustable. For both men and women, more and more packs can be adjusted using a range of straps. The back panel must be height-adjustable so you can position the hip belt at the top of your hips. The backpack should not sit below your glutes — on the contrary, a properly adjusted backpack rests on your hips and rises up behind your head.

What is the ideal capacity for a hiking backpack?

Backpacks up to 30 liters are generally considered suitable for day hikes. Those with a capacity of 35 to 45 liters can work for a weekend in a mountain refuge. Beyond that, for multi-day hiking trips, you'll need to choose packs of 50 to 70 liters depending on the gear to be carried.
