How to Choose the Right Backpack Size

10 September 2026 · TREKVA Editorial

## Day Hikes (15-25L) For day hikes, a 15-25 litre pack is enough for water, snacks, a rain jacket, and a first-aid kit. ## Weekend Treks (35-50L) A 35-50L pack like our Explorer 45L fits a sleeping bag, extra layers, food, and cooking gear for 2-3 day treks. ## Expeditions (60L+) For week-long expeditions, you'll need 60 litres or more to carry a tent, stove, and supplies. ## Fit Matters Always try a backpack with weight in it. The hip belt should sit on your hip bones, and the shoulder straps should wrap comfortably without gaps.
