Backpack Guide – choose the right backpack

A backpack for every occasion

Choose a backpack based on how you intend to use it. Will it be used as a school bag, gym bag, computer bag, or as a hiking backpack?

Backpacker/hiking backpack

The hiking backpack has the volume to swallow everything from storm kitchens, warm outerwear to sleeping bags and tents. If you have to travel around the world, or go on trips with a lot of equipment, the large versions can also handle a lot of luggage.

Computer backpack

The computer backpack is perfect for those who commute to work by public transport, bicycle or on foot. There is also space here for the day's lectures for the students and school pupils.

Travel backpack or school bag?

The travel backpack has a lot more space than the one for everyday use and is perfect for weekend trips and trips where you pack lightly. It can also be used for equipment-heavy sports and leisure interests. There is also room here for the entire syllabus if you need to bring all the books to the study.

Here at Biltema you will find several different models, in different sizes and with different functions. In our range you will find, among other things, a fold-up backpack and one with a built-in chair. Perfect for when you want to rest your feet during long day trips in the forest.

Frequently asked questions about Backpacks

What size backpack is best for hiking?

It depends on how long you will be away, the weather, and how much packing you need.

How should I pack a backpack?

When hiking, heavy things should be packed close to the back and preferably at the top to make it as stable as possible. Things that you want to reach easily should be packed in the backpack’s compartments.
