Hiking rucksacks by volume
The right volume depends on the length of the trip:
15–25 litres (day trips):
Compact and lightweight for half-day and day hikes. Space for a hydration system, snacks, a rain jacket and a first-aid kit.
25–40 litres (mountain hut tours):
Enough storage space for a hut sleeping bag, a change of clothes and provisions for 2–3 days. Ideal for long-distance hiking trails and Alpine crossings.
40–65 litres (trekking rucksacks):
For multi-day tours with a tent, sleeping bag and stove. High-performance carrying systems distribute the weight to the hips.
Hiking rucksacks for women
Women’s hiking rucksacks are specially designed to suit the female anatomy: shorter back length, narrower shoulder straps and a contoured hip belt for an optimal fit. Brands such as Deuter (SL series) and Osprey (WS models) offer women’s-specific fits in volumes ranging from 20 to 50 litres.
Men’s hiking rucksacks
Men’s hiking rucksacks are designed for longer backs and broader shoulders. Sturdy materials and high-performance carrying systems ensure that even heavy loads can be carried comfortably. Popular models come from Deuter, Osprey and Jack Wolfskin.
What to look for in a hiking rucksack
Carrying system:
A good carrying system distributes the weight across the hip belt and shoulder straps. Adjustable back length and back ventilation significantly increase comfort.
Hip belt:
Padded and featuring pockets for snacks or a smartphone – supports up to 80% of the weight.
Rain cover:
Many rucksacks from Deuter
and Osprey
have an integrated rain cover in the bottom compartment.
Hydration system:
A hydration system attachment allows you to drink whilst walking – ideal for longer hikes.
Compression straps:
Keep the load stable against your back, even when the rucksack isn’t fully packed.
Material:
Street-ready nylon or polyester with a PU coating protects the contents from moisture.

Specialist rucksacks for specific trips
As well as classic hiking rucksacks, we also stock specialist rucksacks:
For day trips, 20–30 litres is sufficient. For hut-to-hut tours (2–3 days), 30–40 litres is ideal. For multi-day tours with a tent, plan for 50–65 litres. Tip: It’s better to choose a slightly smaller size – this forces you to pack efficiently and saves weight.
What should I look for in a carrying system?
A good carrying system distributes the weight across your hips and shoulders. Look for a padded hip belt, adjustable back length and back ventilation. Deuter (Aircontact) and Osprey (Anti-Gravity) offer particularly ergonomic systems.
Do I need a rain cover for my hiking rucksack?
Yes, a rain cover is essential for hiking. Many rucksacks from Deuter and Osprey already have one integrated into the base compartment. Alternatively, universal rain covers are available in various sizes from around €10.
What distinguishes a women’s hiking rucksack from a unisex model?
Women’s hiking rucksacks have a shorter back length, narrower and S-shaped shoulder straps, and a contoured hip belt designed to fit the female anatomy. The result: a better fit and fewer pressure points, especially when carrying heavy loads.
Which hiking rucksack brand is the best?
Deuter and Osprey are considered the gold standard in the hiking rucksack sector. Deuter impresses with German quality and its Aircontact ventilation system. Osprey offers a lifetime warranty and the Anti-Gravity system. Jack Wolfskin is ideal for beginners, offering good value for money.
How do I pack my hiking rucksack correctly?
Place heavy items (water, provisions) close to your back and at shoulder height. Put light items (sleeping bag, clothing) at the bottom. Store rainwear within easy reach in the lid compartment. Tighten the compression straps to keep the load stable.
