Alongside proper clothing and suitable footwear, it can be precisely a quality hiking backpack with packed gear that acts as the proverbial tipping point on the scale, which ultimately decides the outcome of the entire trip. So that your trips are relaxing and not a disaster, we have decided to introduce you to hiking backpacks in which you can comfortably carry all the necessary items.
1. DIRECT ACTION® DRAGON EGG® VAK PENCOTT™ SNOWDRIFT 25L
The selection of the best hiking backpacks cannot start with anything other than the highest class of professional backpacks from the Polish company Helikon–Tex. This company has great ambitions and, besides the civilian sector, also supplies its products to the army. It is therefore no wonder that in their production they take into account the real experience of operators from elite special forces units. We can mention the Polish JW Grom or the United States Navy's sea, air and land teams (abbreviated as SEAL).
Simply put, the practical 25-liter backpack from the DIRECT ACTION® product line will be a guarantee of maximum quality, which, thanks to our offer, you will be able to fully enjoy even every day. And the fact that this is not just empty talk is proven by the materials used.
The hiking backpack is made from a quality and highly resistant Cordura® 500D material, which can withstand not only water but also the roughest handling. The components of the backpack, such as the bidirectional YKK® zippers or the Duraflex® - Woojin buckles, are no worse. The backpack offers 2 large pockets, one of which is the main compartment. Among other things, it is also possible to place a hydration system (so-called water bladders) in this space. In the second zippered pocket at the back, you can store a portable radio station or a laptop up to 15" in size when needed.
DIRECT ACTION® DRAGON EGG® is further equipped with a front mesh pocket and a simple organizer for storing various small items. Within it, you will also find a space with a micro-fleece interior, ideal for glasses. Two side pockets also come in handy.
We must also mention the MOLLE / PALS system, thanks to which this hiking backpack is fully modular, while the system also ensures its low-profile appearance. The backpack can therefore also be used in ordinary urban conditions. The suspension system offers comfortable shoulder straps and internal back reinforcement. However, it would not be a perfect hiking backpack if it overlooked good air circulation, which eliminates overheating and excessive sweating. In our case, this is taken care of in the best possible way by the innovative Combat Vent System®.
The DIRECT ACTION® DRAGON EGG® VAK PENCOTT™ SNOWDRIFT 25L backpack is a perfect choice for armed forces, but it will also serve excellently as a summer hiking backpack.
2. HELIKON-TEX RAIDER® CORDURA® VAK 20L
A similar, though slightly cheaper alternative to a hiking backpack from the same manufacturer is the HELIKON-TEX RAIDER® CORDURA®. This modern 20-liter hiking backpack will serve you excellently in urban conditions, but you will also appreciate it on trips to nearby or more distant surroundings.
In this case too, you can rely on the highly durable Cordura® 500D material, bidirectional YKK® zippers or Duraflex® - Woojin buckles, which leave no doubts about its quality. The Cordura® 500D material is of course water-resistant treated.
The backpack offers plenty of storage space and pockets. On the front, there is an eye-catching pocket for storing a helmet or a piece of clothing. On the sides, you will appreciate pockets in which you can carry, for example, hiking bottles and water containers.
The main storage compartment, equipped with a hook-and-loop fastener, offers more generous space for storing a hydration system. You can also use a mesh pocket with a zipper, and on the top part you will find another smaller storage pocket.
Even with this backpack, you don't need to worry about discomfort, because the back panel of the backpack is thickly padded and covered with mesh. This allows air to circulate freely, which also improves sweat wicking. The shoulder straps are of course anatomically shaped.
3. MFH BW RUKSAK MOUNTAIN BLACK 80L
A somewhat different type of hiking backpack comes from the German company MFH. By the way, this company is certainly not resting on its laurels and offers a wide range of clothing and other sports or hiking accessories, survival knives or military equipment included.
MFH BW RUKSAK MOUNTAIN belongs to the category of large backpacks and boasts an impressive volume of up to 85 liters. If you had to restrain yourself when packing items for the previous backpacks, now you can afford to take much more. In principle, the only limit is the weight you are willing to carry on your travels. This backpack is primarily intended for longer hiking trails or camping trips, but it will also work well for excursions and longer hunting or fishing outings. There are really many possibilities.
Waterproof 100% polyester ensures that your belongings stay dry even during prolonged bad or rainy weather. The main compartment of the backpack is closed with a flap, which is secured by 2 straps with plastic quick-release buckles. In the main compartment you will find an internal section, for example, for dirty laundry. The hiking backpack is further equipped with 2 larger side pockets, which can be detached from the backpack if needed.
Padded shoulder straps, straps for securing around the waist and chest ensure perfect comfort when moving through terrain. You will also appreciate various other tightening straps and cords for ideal reinforcement. It is also worth mentioning the Vario-Back system, which takes care of ventilating the back, i.e. the back panel. This happens while moving, when warm air is drawn away from the body and cold air is "drawn in" instead.
4. MFH BW WATERPROOF RUCKSACK PATTERN M95 CZ CAMO 65L
If the size of the backpack is your priority, you can still stick with the same brand. An excellent choice can be the waterproof 65-litre hiking backpack MFH BW VZOR M95 CZ MASKÁČ with a smaller aluminium reinforcement. You will also be full of praise for this backpack when camping, fishing or hunting, and it will serve you excellently on longer hiking trips and various other outdoor activities.
The MFH BW VZOR M95 CZ MASKÁČ will definitely not disappoint your expectations. The inner part of the main compartment, the flap and the bottom part of the backpack are coated with a rubber coating, so there is no risk whatsoever of water penetrating into the interior.
The main compartment is equipped with a mesh, which offers the option of safely storing a laptop or documents. The hiking backpack also features 2 side pockets and 1 top pocket of the same dimensions on the flap.
And as if that were not enough, the flap also contains 2 built-in compartments. One with a classic zipper and one with a Velcro closure. The bottom part of the backpack, which by the way can be unzipped, also offers 1 small storage pocket with a Velcro closure.
However, the benefits of this backpack are far from over. You will be delighted, for example, by the soft materials on the shoulder straps and the adjustment straps will come in handy, thanks to which you can adjust the backpack precisely to your build. If you thought that was all, we will prove you wrong. The backpack is equipped with a mini MOLLE system (a webbing carrying system) patented by the US armed forces. Thanks to this system, among other things, you will be able to attach a number of different accessories to the backpack. And finally, the MFH brand itself is a guarantee not only of quality workmanship of the backpack, but also of exceptionally sturdy stitching.
