Backpack

Nothing works without a backpack! A good rucksack is very helpful. It's not so much the size that matters, but the extras that the rucksack has to offer. We recommend a rucksack with a mesh back. This provides a better fit, ensures ventilation at the back and prevents excessive sweating in this area. Not only do the two shoulder straps need to be present, but a lap belt and a chest strap also help to distribute the load. With a lap belt, the pelvis takes on part of the weight, which in turn relieves the shoulders. The chest strap ensures better stability when carrying. Sufficient storage space for all the things you are carrying is practical. You can never have enough storage space. It is also an advantage if the rucksack has a hiking pole holder where you can stow them away when they are not in use.
