50-liter hiking backpacks: your companion for multi-day walks
50-liter hiking backpacks are the ideal solution for hikers heading out on multi-day treks. This volume offers the perfect balance between storage capacity and comfort, making it a versatile choice for your adventures. With 50L, you have enough space for everything you need: tent, sleeping bag, clothing, food and water. And if you need more room, many models feature an extension that lets you expand your pack to 60L or 70L, giving you greater flexibility to match your needs.
This intermediate capacity is ideal for long hikes, whether for self-sufficient expeditions or trips with hut stops. Thanks to its generous space, you can bring everything you need without adding too much weight to your pack. 50L backpacks are also well suited to travel, offering added versatility for travel across different terrain types. Carrying comfort, storage capacity and durability are all present to support you on your greatest outdoor adventures.
How to pack your hiking bag?
To make the most of your 50-liter backpack, good organisation is key. Here are some tips for packing efficiently:
- Bottom of the pack: Start by placing your sleeping gear (down sleeping bag, mat) along with your spare clothing and shoes. These items should sit at the bottom of the pack to ensure good weight distribution.
- Middle of the pack: Pack your tent, stove, cookware and food. Ideally, position these items as close to your back as possible for better balance and less strain on your spine.
- Hydration bladder: Slide it along your back so it's easy to reach and doesn't add too much volume to the front of the pack.
- Top of the pack: Keep your essential items within easy reach, such as your fleece, your waterproof jacket and your first-aid kit.
- Handles and external pockets: Use the side pockets to store sunscreen, maps, a compass and sunglasses. These small items should be easily accessible during your hike.
- Belt: Place energy bars or a camera in the belt pocket for quick access on the go.
- Telescopic poles: Store them on the outside of the pack, vertically, for optimal accessibility and secure transport.
With a well-organised pack, you'll optimise carrying comfort and ensure quick access to everything you need.
