Choosing the right backpack for your Trolltunga hike

When it comes to picking the right backpack for your Trolltunga hike, it's important to consider the size, comfort, and features. Here are our top five tips for buying a good backpack for your Trolltunga hike. 

Consider the size: Make sure the backpack is small enough to be comfortable but large enough to carry all your essentials. A backpack around 40 litres should be just enough for your hike as long as you do not carry e.g. a tent and a sleeping bag. 

Look for a comfortable fit: Try on different backpacks to ensure they fit comfortably and provide enough support for your back and shoulders. Adjustable straps and a padded hip belt will help distribute the weight evenly. Try on the backpacks at the store with something heavy in them - then you really feel how they fit you so you don’t end up taking the wrong backpack home.

Check the features: Look for a backpack with a variety of pockets, compartments, and attachment points to help you organize your gear. Make sure your water bottles are easy to reach, a hydration system is also a great feature for a long hike.

Durability is key: Invest in a good quality backpack that is made of durable materials and can withstand the wear and tear of hiking.

Consider the weather: If you're planning to hike in rainy conditions, look for a backpack with a waterproof cover or a built-in rain cover to protect your gear.

By following these tips, you'll be able to find the perfect backpack for your Trolltunga hike. Remember to always check the weather forecast and pack accordingly, in case of unexpected rain. A good backpack will make your hike much more comfortable and enjoyable.
