Choosing a backpack is definitely not the most easy task. We have been reading lots of reviews and tried several backpacks in the stores to find the best one. The thing is, reviews say nothing. Every body is different and so is everyone’s personal preference. You should choose a backpack that goes well with your body and is well balanced. Most important things you should take into account when buying a backpack is that it should be water resistent, with several compartments so you can keep your stuff organized. It should also have padded shoulder straps, hip belt and back, because it makes carrying such a huge weight much more comfortable. There are different sizes of backpacks available on the market, but we both chose to have the basic medium size of 65/70 liters. We didn’t buy the biggest one, because we want to avoid too heavy luggage but we also don’t want our stuff hanging out of our backpack because of too little space.
I chose for the Bach- Lite Mare and Farhang for the Osprey- Aether 70. The total weight of my fully packed backpack is 14 kilos and my daypack 5 kilos. Farhang’s backpack weights 16 kilos and his daypack 8 kilos.
We are ready for departure baby! Let’s do this!
