Backpacks come in different shapes, colours, and sizes. Depending on the purpose for which you need the luggage, you will have different requirements. We offer a wide range of models for hiking trips, cycling tours, or everyday use. The advantage of a backpack over other items of luggage such as a travel bag or suitcase is that you always have your hands free and the carrying weight is evenly distributed.
Which Backpack is Your Ideal Companion?
Before you choose your new piece of luggage, you should think about what you need it for. If you're looking for a backpack for everyday use, you'll need to consider a laptop compartment and the volume. Do you need space for books or lunch in addition to your smartphone, wallet, and laptop? A vintage-style leather backpack is ideal for short trips into town or for the daily commute to work or school. These models are available in different sizes, with the largest models also comfortably accommodating a laptop. Such a backpack for everyday use is versatile and has a volume of approximately 15-35 litres. Our backpack models with a roll-top, which have a flexible volume, or the water-repellent bike backpacks, which you can conveniently strap to the luggage carrier, are also particularly practical. Side mesh pockets for drink bottles are also a useful feature on daypacks. For a trip to the lake, we offer special cooling backpacks that keep drinks nice and fresh. The trendy duffle bags are also a practical hybrid between a bag and a travel backpack and are suitable for both everyday use and traveling.
The Right Backpack for Hiking and Traveling Enthusiasts
Carry the world on your back: a backpack is your most loyal companion on your hiking adventures and trips. Whether it's provisions, spare clothes, or camping equipment - a backpack has plenty of space for items that you can't do without on a hiking or camping trip. Choosing the right hiking backpack is therefore crucial. A hiking backpack for shorter day trips usually has a volume of 20 to 40 litres. A trekking backpack for longer hut hikes or long-distance hiking trails has a volume of 40 to 70 litres. The size of the backpack should be tailored to your height and the amount of luggage you need. The most important thing with hiking and trekking backpacks is that they fit well. Therefore, make sure that the model you choose has adjustable shoulder straps, a chest strap, and a hip belt. Backpacks are generally made from water-repellent materials. However, none of them remain waterproof during long, heavy rain showers. A suitable rain cover is therefore a bonus for outdoor activities. Loops, hooks, and other attachment options for hiking poles, water bottles, and other mountaineering equipment are also a key criterion.
Are you planning a backpacking trip around the world? Hiking backpacks from 40 litres are suitable for this, as the motto is: as much as necessary, but as little as possible. Experienced backpackers can easily use trekking backpacks with a volume of 50 to 55 litres for two to three-week trips. Backpacker backpacks with a volume of 60 to 65 litres belong to the comfort class and are suitable for all types of travel. These backpacks are particularly popular with women as they offer plenty of storage space but are not too heavy. Special ladies' backpacks differ from men's backpacks in terms of colour, design, and the length of the back panel. Thanks to the short back panel and ergonomic shoulder straps, backpacks for women always fit perfectly. Backpacking backpacks for men usually have a volume of 70 to 75 litres, as they are ideal for shorter trips but also for a year's trip around the world. Even larger models are suitable for longer trips around the world and across different climate zones.
No matter which model you choose, our backpacks will impress you with their hard-wearing material, ergonomic design, and many practical compartments. Find your new favourite backpack now at GONSER.CH and create unforgettable memories.
Tips & Tricks for Caring for Your Backpack
A backpack is always a faithful companion. To ensure it stays that way for as long as possible, you need to follow a few basic care instructions. Over time, dust and dirt will accumulate on your backpack, which is best removed with a large brush. Stubborn dirt or stains can be wiped away with a damp cloth. Hang the backpack upside down to dry and air out. Under no circumstances should you wash your backpack in the washing machine! Remove crumbs and dirt from the inside by shaking it out vigorously or using a hand vacuum. For leather backpacks, we recommend polishing and caring for the leather with special creams. Frequent use can cause zips to jam. You can solve this problem by applying a commercially available silicone spray to the zip. Lint, dust particles, or animal hair collect in Velcro fasteners over time. You can easily remove these with a small brush. Although our backpacks are made from hard-wearing and water-repellent material, they are not completely waterproof. In addition to a perfectly fitting rain cover, you can optimize the water protection with a waterproofing treatment.
Proper care also includes correct packing: an overstuffed pack will not only damage your back but also your backpack. Before packing, think about what equipment and travel accessories you really need. A clever packing method will also save you time and nerves. Make sure you organize your items according to purpose and frequency of use. With top loader models in particular, which are packed from the top, it's important to think about what you need most. Pack the most important items at the end so that you always have them to hand. For more organization in your backpack, we recommend modular packing and using travel bags. Depending on the situation, you can also label them or organize them by colour so that you always know where to find which items.
