Backpacks are durable packs, secured with shoulder straps and, in some cases, a hip strap, and used to carry supplies or other contents on the back. Backpacks are commonly referred to as backpacks by Europeans; Other common names include backpacks, backpacks, or backpacks.

Backpacks are useful for carrying heavy loads for extended periods. The pack design balances the weight of the load on the shoulders, which are stronger than the hands. Using a padded hip belt distributes the weight over the hips, which are even stronger than the shoulders.

Backpacks are popular with campers, climbers, hikers, bikers, skiers, snowboarders, and other outdoor enthusiasts. For soldiers, backpacks can contain a parachute or other life support devices. Backpacks have also become popular for everyday activities like shopping, sightseeing, and carrying school books.

Backpacks generally contain various features including multiple cargo pockets, clips, loops, and straps. Mesh pockets are useful for storing wet clothing, water bottles and snacks, and guidebooks. Sealed pockets can hold more delicate items such as glasses, cameras, or Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment. Bungee cords can be used to attach larger items like sleeping bags, skis, or snowboards to the outside of packs.

Most backpacks are made of nylon due to its strength and durability. Many are waterproof, adjustable, and have removable compartments, snap closures, and a waist strap. Some packages contain compartments for MP3 players, headphones, and/or a pole holder.

Hydration packs are a popular pack feature sought by cyclists and other outdoor users. A hydration pack supplies water from a reservoir, which is transported to the user via a hose.

Fit and capacity should be the main concern when choosing backpacks. The length of the torso determines the proper fit. The amount and type of supplies you will be carrying will determine the capacity needed. For long trips and heavy loads, look for a backpack with an internal or external frame.
