The backpack is the most versatile carry system: worn on the back, secured with two shoulder straps, and leaving the hands completely free. By distributing the load evenly across the back and shoulders, it minimizes strain on the spine and makes carrying gear comfortable even over long distances. From EDC and travel to hiking, camping, and tactical operations, backpacks provide the perfect balance of capacity, durability, and organization.
what is a backpack?
A backpack typically consists of a main compartment, additional organizers or pockets, padded shoulder straps, and an ergonomic back panel for ventilation. More advanced models feature chest and waist belts for stability, MOLLE/PALS webbing for modular attachments, and hydration sleeves for water bladders.
