50L Hiking Backpack: What Is It Best For? (Hiking, Trekking, Travel...)

  • For its versatility: This type of hiking backpack is perfect for a wide range of uses. A 50-litre backpack is ideal for multi-day hikes as well as day trips.
  • For its comfort: Thanks to ergonomic carrying systems such as Deuter’s Contact System or Mammut’s AirContact, these backpacks provide optimal comfort even on long hikes.
  • For its durability: Made with abrasion- and weather-resistant materials, like the ripstop nylon used by Patagonia, these backpacks are built to last.
  • For its practicality: Multiple pockets and compartments allow you to efficiently store and organise your gear, including front pockets, side mesh pockets, and dedicated hydration bladder compartments.

What Are the Advantages of a 50L Hiking Backpack?

  • Carrying system: A well-designed carrying system is essential for maximum comfort. Leading brands like Deuter and Mammut offer adjustable systems to fit all body types.
  • Features: Integrated rain cover, expandable side pockets, quick access to the main compartment, trekking pole attachment systems… The features vary between brands, offering plenty of options to suit your needs.

What Is the Ideal Weight for a 50-Litre Backpack?

The weight of an empty backpack is an important factor, especially for long hikes. All manufacturers strive to make their backpacks as lightweight as possible while maintaining durability. Depending on your travel or trekking plans, you need gear that can withstand all conditions. At Glisshop, we particularly appreciate the Lite models from Lowe Alpine and Deuter, as these brands focus on materials that help reduce weight by a few crucial grams.
