50L hiking backpack: what is it used for (hiking, trekking, travelling...)?

  • Versatility: this type of hiking backpacks is perfect for a variety of uses. In fact, 50-litre backpacks are suitable for both multi-day hikes and day trips.
  • Vomfort: thanks to ergonomic carrying systems such as Deuter’s Contact System or Mammut’s AirContact, these backpacks ensure optimal comfort even on long hikes.
  • Durability: made with abrasion- and weather-resistant materials, such as the ripstop nylon used by Patagonia, these backpacks are built to last.
  • Convenience: numerous pockets and compartments allow you to store and organise your equipment efficiently, with features such as front pockets, side mesh pockets and a dedicated hydration bladder compartment.

What are the benefits of a 50L hiking backpack?

  • Carrying system: the carrying system is essential for optimal comfort. Leading brands such as Deuter and Mammut offer adjustable systems to suit all body shapes.
  • Features: built-in rain cover, expandable side pockets, quick access to the main compartment, attachment points for trekking poles... Features are numerous and vary by brand.

What is the ideal weight of a 50-litre backpack?

The weight of the backpack when empty is an important factor not to be overlooked on long hikes. All manufacturers ensure their backpacks are as light as possible without compromising on durability, as depending on your travel or trekking plans, you need equipment that can withstand all conditions. At Glisshop, we particularly appreciate the Lite models from Lowe Alpine, as well as those from Deuter, as these brands take great care in their material choices to shave off precious grams.

Some of our best hiking/trekking backpacks for men and women:

Deuter Aircontact Lite 50+10

This backpack combines lightness and comfort thanks to its Aircontact back panel. It features an expandable volume with an additional 10 litres.

Lowe Alpine AirZone Pro 50

A versatile pack with an AirZone carrying system that provides excellent back ventilation.

Mammut Ducan Spine 50

A technical pack designed for mountaineers, featuring a Spine carrying system for optimal weight distribution.

Millet Kulu 50

A versatile and comfortable pack, ideal for multi-day hikes.

Patagonia Ascensionist 50L

A lightweight and durable pack with a generous back length, perfect for mountaineers and demanding hikers.

Osprey Aura Ag 50

Designed to suit the female physique, it features ergonomic shoulder straps and a ventilated back panel for maximum comfort.

What does a 50L capacity mean?

A 50L capacity refers to a unit of volume measurement: it means the pack can hold up to 50 litres of contents. This gives a concrete indication of its size and the internal space available to organise your gear.

Which capacity should you choose for a hiking backpack?

The choice of capacity depends primarily on the duration of your trip and your level of self-sufficiency. For a day hike, a 20–30 litre pack is sufficient. For a multi-day trip with nights in refuges, a 40–50 litre model is ideal. However, if you’re fully self-sufficient and camping overnight, opt for a 60–70 litre pack.

To help you decide, take a look at our tutorial, How to choose your hiking backpack?

Small-capacity backpacks: 30L or 40L

Perfect for short hikes or two-day treks, these packs allow you to carry the essentials: spare clothing, water, food, a first-aid kit and, if necessary, a lightweight sleeping bag. If you want a smaller and lighter model than 50 litres, take a look at our 40-litre backpacks.

Large-capacity backpacks: 60L or 70L

This volume is suited to extended hikes with camping. It provides the necessary space to carry a tent, sleeping mat, sleeping bag, warm clothing, cookware and provisions. Ideal for self-sufficient multi-day adventures. If you’re looking for a pack with an even larger volume than 50 litres, check out our selection of 60-litre backpacks.
