The Best Backpack Brands
Several renowned brands are part of our hiking backpack range. These include Osprey, Deuter, Millet and Lafuma. They are recognised for the quality of their craftsmanship and their attention to detail. Each brand offers a variety of models with different features, allowing you to find the backpack best suited to your needs and hiking style.
A Wide Choice of Backpacks
The backpack is an essential accessory for hiking. The capacity of your backpack must match your needs. That’s why Glisshop offers models in a range of volumes. From a leisurely walk to a multi-day trek in extreme conditions, and day hikes in the mountains, we have the ideal-sized backpack for every situation in our wide selection of models.
From Small, Lightweight Packs to Large Mountain Trekking Packs
A small-capacity hiking pack is perfect for travelling light with the essentials (water bottle, jacket, snacks, sun cream) and is a great choice if you want a versatile pack that can also be used for everyday activities.
Need a little more space for a day hike? A pack of around 30L lets you carry a picnic, a stove and all the essential hiking gear. These models offer several handy compartments and good carrying comfort.
A size of around 40L is ideal for an overnight hike. It allows you to carry a sleeping bag, sleeping mat, spare clothes and lightweight camping gear. Choose a pack with an ergonomic back, good weight distribution inside, adjustable straps, and carrying options for poles or an ice axe if you are heading into the mountains.
For multi-day treks in total autonomy, choose a large trekking rucksack with the right capacity for your needs and for carrying heavy loads. Check the back adjustments, load distribution, presence of practical pockets and gear loops.
Features for Every Situation
Compatibility with a hydration system such as a water bladder is one of the most useful outdoor accessories. Being able to hydrate without opening your pack is a real advantage, especially on challenging routes. For comfort, a hip belt and chest strap will minimise possible back pain. Beyond that, it all depends on your use. A backpack with accessories adapted to your activity will always be more practical than an ordinary pack with just one main compartment. Ski, helmet, snowboard, ice axe or pole holders free up your hands and space inside the pack. Some models even allow you to attach sunglasses to the shoulder strap – a small but handy detail.
Men’s, Women’s and Children’s Hiking Backpacks
Among the different models available on our website and in-store, you will find packs for men, women and children. Some brands offer models specifically designed for the female body shape. This is the case with Deuter, whose models are recognisable by the small yellow flower attached to the front of the pack. The brand takes into account that women are generally shorter than men and offers back panel lengths and shoulder straps adapted accordingly.
