For the avid hiker, having a conventional backpack is almost as important as the type of shoes they wear while on the trail. Backpacks come in many different sizes, materials, and colors. Depending on the type of adventure one is looking for, picking the right backpack is vital. With different styles and materials on the market, making an educated choice can seem overwhelming. Good thing we compiled a list of 5 of the best outdoor backpacks one can use while hiking! Just remember to pack that handy leather camera strap while traveling!
Best Outdoor Backpacks:

The pack is 26 liters and comes in various colors such as white and red. Notable features of this backpack include two main compartments with extra compartments on the inside. The pack is water-resistant and has an extra support strap for the chest area.

The pack can be found in smaller sizes as well.
