Backpacks for Women and Men
Women's backpacks often have narrower, S-shaped shoulder straps and shorter back lengths. Men's models tend to feature longer back systems and wider straps. Unisex models in neutral colours suit both. With hiking backpacks, a gender-specific fit is especially important, as the load is carried for hours at a time.
Backpack Size by Height
The back length of the backpack should match your height: up to 165 cm usually S/M back length, up to 180 cm M, from 180 cm L. With adjustable carrying systems, the back length can be adapted. Important: the hip belt should sit on the iliac crest, and the chest strap below the collarbone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which backpack is the right one?
It depends on the intended use. For university and business: 25-30 litres with laptop compartment. For hiking: 25-40 litres with hip belt. For trekking: 50-70 litres with adjustable carrying system. For everyday use: 15-25 litre daypack. Make sure the back length and carrying system fit properly.
What volume is suitable for hiking tours?
Day tours: 20-30 litres. Hut-to-hut tours of 2-3 days: 30-40 litres. Multi-day tours with a tent: 50-65 litres. Trekking expeditions: 65-80 litres. More important than the volume is a well-fitting hip belt – it carries 60-80 percent of the load.
What is the difference between a backpack and a daypack?
Daypack is the term for a day backpack with 15-30 litres of volume. Classic backpacks cover all sizes, from 10-litre city packs to 80-litre trekking backpacks. Daypacks are lighter and more simply constructed, without an elaborate carrying system.
Are backpacks waterproof?
Most backpacks are water-repellent but not completely waterproof. In rain, a rain cover offers protection (often integrated or available separately). Fully waterproof backpacks are available as roll-top models made from PVC-coated material – ideal for kayaking and boat tours.
Which back length suits me?
For a height of up to 165 cm, S or M usually fits; up to 180 cm, M; from 180 cm, L. Hiking backpacks often have adjustable carrying systems. When trying it on, the hip belt should sit on the iliac crest and the chest strap should rest loosely below the collarbone – both without pressure.
How do you clean a backpack?
Empty the contents completely and wipe the outside with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. For heavier dirt, hand wash with lukewarm water and outdoor detergent – do not machine wash. Air dry, never tumble dry. Treat zips with silicone spray.
