50-liter hiking backpacks: your ally for multi-day walks
50-liter hiking backpacks are the ideal solution for hikers heading out on multi-day trek. This volume offers a perfect balance between storage capacity and comfort, making it a versatile choice for your adventures. With 50L, you have enough space to carry everything you need: tent, sleeping bag, clothing, food and water. And if you need more room, many models feature an extension that lets you turn your pack into a 60L or 70L model, giving you greater flexibility depending on your needs.
This intermediate capacity is ideal for long hiking trips, whether for self-supported expeditions or with stops at mountain huts. Thanks to its generous space, you can carry everything you need without weighing your pack down excessively. 50L backpacks are also well suited to travel, offering additional versatility for travel across different types of terrain. Carrying comfort, storage capacity and built-to-last construction are all there to accompany you on your greatest outdoor adventures.
How to pack your hiking backpack properly?
To get the most out of your 50-liter backpack, it's essential to organise its contents well. Here are some tips for efficient packing:
- Bottom of the pack : Start by placing your sleeping gear (down, sleeping mat) along with your spare clothing and shoes. These items should be positioned at the bottom of the pack to ensure good weight distribution.
- Middle of the pack : Store your tent, stove, cookware and food here. Ideally, place these items as close to your back as possible for better balance and less stress on your spine.
- Hydration bladder : Slide it along your back so it is easily accessible and to prevent it from adding 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 outer pockets : Use the side pockets to store sunscreen, maps, a compass and sunglasses. These small items should be easily accessible during your hiking trip.
- 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-thought-out packing system, you optimise carrying comfort and ensure quick access to everything you need.
