Hiking packs | Altitude Blog

Adventure calls and you dream of leaving, discovering the world. But just a moment! You’re not going to leave without a pack on you back are you? Unless you’re only adventuring to the dépanneur, it would be wise to bring a backpack, even if it’s just to carry water. The greater the adventure, the more you’ll need to bring, which is why big adventures call for big packs. Have you looked at the selection of backpacks available to suit your needs? Good luck choosing one if you haven’t read our little guide on Choosing Your Backpack. Every pack needs to be adjusted for your body, and we will help you do so.

Happy reading,

Germain

A proper fitting pack is essential. Even if you get the “world’s best pack”, if it doesn’t fit properly, it’s not the world’s best pack. A good fit means comfort and if you’re hauling a pack all day long, comfort is key. You’ll perform a lot better since discomfort is tiring, both physically and mentally. Not only that, but packs don’t grow on trees, they cost money. A better fit means a better return on your investment and who doesn’t want that?

I kid you! No really, we're nice and honourable people over here at altitude-blog; no spying being done, no siree. What Maxime Altitude and his male model, Alex Altitude, did do is go see Jetboil and Osprey's Andrew Nelson. He graciously showed us some of their wares as well as changes that have been added to an already impressive line-up.
