Choosing the right backpack can reduce the risk of outdoor sports

Four major types of outdoor sports backpacks

1. Travel bag

A large travel bag is similar to a mountaineering bag but has a different shape. The front of the travel bag can be fully opened with a zipper, which is very convenient for taking things in and out, unlike a mountaineering bag where items are usually put into the bag from the top cover. There are many types of small travel bags. Make sure you choose one that is comfortable to carry, rather than just focusing on the appearance.

2. Bicycle bags

It is divided into two types: hanging bag type and backpack type. The hanging bag type can be carried on the back or hung on the front handlebar or rear rack of the bicycle. The backpack type is mainly used for bicycle touring that requires high speed riding. Bicycle bags are equipped with reflective strips that can reflect light to ensure safety when riding at night.

3. Backpack

This type of bag consists of a bag body and an external aluminum alloy frame. Used to carry large items that are not easy to fit into a backpack, such as camera boxes, gas tanks, etc. In addition, many backpacks often indicate on their labels which sports they are suitable for.

4. Mountaineering bag

There are two categories: one is a large backpack with a volume between 50-80 liters; the other is a small backpack with a volume between 20-35 liters, also known as an "assault bag". Large mountaineering bags are mainly used to transport mountaineering supplies during mountaineering, while small mountaineering bags are generally used for high-altitude climbing or summit assaults. Special mountaineering backpacks are designed to cope with extreme environments. They are exquisitely made and unique. Generally, the bag body is slender, and the back of the bag is designed according to the natural curve of the human body, so that the bag body fits closely to the back and reduces the pressure of the straps on the shoulders. These bags are waterproof and will not leak even in heavy rain. In addition, mountaineering bags are not only used for mountaineering, but are also widely used in other adventure sports and long-distance travel.
