Choosing a backpack can be overwhelming as so many different types and brands exist out there. At Miinto, we provide you with a great selection of backpacks to choose from. To make the choice a bit less daunting, we will also share with you some of our tips on picking your next backpack.
Choosing the right backpack for your needs depends on what you're doing, when and where you're going, how long your journey is, and generally what you want to use the backpack for. You'll also need a backpack that fits you properly and a system that can support the weight of your body and the load you place on it.
Choosing a backpack with the right volume
To begin with, you should choose a backpack that is the correct volume for your needs. If you need a backpack for your day-to-day activities - your laptop, a bottle of water, make-up bag, etc., then you need to focus on browsing the "laptop" type backpacks as they will likely provide enough volume for your needs.
If you are planning on going hiking or using the bag for a variety of outdoor activities, then taking a look at the volume is essential. Make sure to calculate how much you will carry and estimate the approximate volume that you will need.
Alternatively, you may need a tiny minimalist backpack that will allow you to carry just the essentials. In that case, choosing your bag will be mostly about aesthetics and depend on your style.
Different suspension - which to choose?
All of the weight will fall onto your shoulders if you're carrying a lot of items on your trip, and you'll eventually experience a lot of pain which could be avoided with the right suspension. Understanding the various components aids in selecting the best pack suspension is therefore essential when picking the right backpack for you.
Some examples of popular backpack suspensions are hip belts, shoulder straps, sternum straps, and back panels. We advise you to do some research on the topic and understand the different suspension types before completing your purchase.
Other features to look out for
Backpacks come with many different pockets, sleeves, and storage compartments. You should make sure that the bag offers enough pockets and compartments for your needs. If you plan on carrying a laptop around, make sure the bag has a laptop pocket for you to use.
