That's why we have a huge collection of rucksacks and bags in all sizes and for all purposes, so that no matter what adventure you decide to embark upon, we have something for you, featuring top brands like Osprey, Berghaus, and The North Face. The major shortcomings of the Osprey Sojourn Shuttle are simply trade-offs inherent to the roller design. The Berghaus Atlas III 120 L Modular Military Backpack is a high-capacity rucksack that can accommodate the gear, equipment and provisions needed for an extended expedition.

For travel scenarios where you’ll be moving around a lot—think backpacking through Europe—we prefer non-roller duffels.This duffel is purpose built for hard work, with water-resistant 840-denier ballistic nylon in the body and a burly 1000-denier base lined with foam for both structure and protection. Especially for trekking backpacks with higher volume, high-quality padding for shoulders and pelvic area plays a significant role.

Meanwhile, this is a multifunctional outdoor travel backpack, it can be used as a single day backpack or a single daypack. For organizing a pick up, initiating a rescue, or just checking in, a satellite messenger has become our go-to means of staying. To get an idea of the volume needed for your trip, gather together all your belongings (for example: base layers, clothing, pair of boots, sleeping bag, wash bag).But for a reliable all-around duffel and more versatility in terms of size and colors, the Base Camp is a solid choice.

We also appreciate the Cotopaxi’s convenient carry-handle stash pockets, which get them out of the way when not in use. If you want more protection and conveniences like internal storage, side compartments, and backpack straps, we’d recommend the Patagonia Black Hole above instead.Spacious, user-friendly, and feature-rich, camping tents are made for a relatively luxurious experience in the outdoors. Over the course of about 5 months on the road, the backpack that came with my SUP completely disintegrated. The benefits of these smaller bags are their compactness and light weight so they can go everywhere with you! First, rarely do roller duffels come with anything more than carry handles (read: no backpack straps), making them difficult to transport in areas without sufficient rolling surfaces.
