Our Gearheads get a ton of questions about hiking packs, so we’ve made this guide about how to choose the right hiking pack for you. Gearheads Cat and Kendall breakdown the volumes needed when going on a day hike. They also go over 3 of their favorite packs and talk about the features and why they like them.
Choosing the right hiking pack really depends on the type of hiking you're doing. Packs for day hiking should prioritize volume, while providing you with the feature set needed to support your pursuits. What is your favorite hiking pack? Let us know in the comments!
