Mountaineering backpack purchase

2018-12-21

1. What activities are involved?

Before you buy a backpack, make sure you want to participate in the event. Because even the same brand, there are many types. Less will be divided into migration kits and mountaineering bags (I like to call it light and heavy bags), and more are divided into top bags, ski backpacks, travel bags, urban leisure, rock climbing bags and so on. In general, the lightweight backpack is suitable for migration, camping, short-term activities, pay attention to light weight, simple design, this type of backpack is a good choice when the load is no more than 4, 5 pounds. The heavy-duty backpack is just the opposite. It is suitable for high-altitude mountaineering, long-distance crossing and other activities. More considerations in design are the carrying performance under load-bearing conditions, but tend to be more self-weight. If the money is not tight, of course, buy a few more backpacks to suit different activities (I have 5 different outdoor bags for different environments at most). If you only want to buy a backpack, then you must figure out what you need, what you want to participate in, and then decide.

2. Investment in funds

After you have decided to participate in the event, consider how much you are ready to invest. When conditions permit, be sure to buy a good backpack as much as possible (not to promote expensive things, but now outdoor equipment is really worth the price). Domestic production to reduce costs, high quality and low quality, want to find high-quality products in these brands depends on your eyes.

3, materials, work, design

Look at its materials, workmanship, and design when the brand or style has been selected. On the material. One can ask the clerk of the outdoor store, and the second can rely on his own experience. The backpack material is basically divided into fabric (mostly nylon or polyester,), zipper (preferably YKK zipper), fasteners (multi-directional clerk consultation), webbing (Hong Kong Sheng Kee used more in domestic good bags), belt Or the padding of the shoulder strap (the different EVAs and different design methods will be very different in use); the workmanship depends on you. If a backpack is not well wired and has more thread, I am afraid it is very It is difficult for you to have a strong confidence in it; then there is design, a good package is more user-friendly in design, take a closer look at whether the package you want to buy can make you satisfied.

4, try back.

After reading these, you may have already identified the backpack you want to buy. Or one or a few, okay, it’s time to back. No matter what backpack you want to buy, you are satisfied, if you are uncomfortable, it is all empty talk, so I suggest: you must try the back before buying, and it is best to try a few more, put on heavy objects to try. If you have time, carry an hour on your back and let your back tell you if it is the right backpack for you.

5. After-sales service.

The bag is also picking up, and trying to carry the back is very comfortable, then the best job is to pay the money. By the way, don't forget to get the sales voucher when paying the money, because the after-sales service is included in your price.

6, backpacks and bags.

After the backpack is bought, you can also ask the clerk about some problems with the backpack. Not everyone will use the backpack correctly. At least I know that more than 90% of the friends who travel will not pack and pack properly. Let's talk about the backpack, adjust it to the height that suits you. Sometimes you need to take out the support strips in the carrying system and bend it to the curvature that best fits your body. (I will do this for each package. Own backpack). Adjust the height of the center of gravity adjustment belt so that the angle between it and the shoulder strap is about 20-30 degrees. There is also the clerk to teach you the correct posture of the backpack and the backpack (so that the correct use will help extend the life of your backpack). In addition to packaging, the best of course is to let the clerk come to give you a detailed explanation, I want you to know is to put heavy items as close as possible to the body and the top of the backpack, so that the weight of the backpack can be spread to you through the carrying system The shoulders, back, waist and hips can make you feel more comfortable. Also, try not to hang up and stuff the contents of the backpack (you can try to put the undeformable items first, then fill the gaps in the changed clothes and tent items), and keep the center of gravity not biased towards either side. . You will find that your backpack is both beautiful and comfortable to wear.

Finally, where to buy, it is recommended to go to a regular reputable outdoor store to buy equipment! Ask the store staff about all your doubts. A good outdoor store will give you good after-sales service, and a good clerk will give you a correct advice and teach you about equipment. If you want to save some money to buy a group or buy in a small store, you may pay more in the future than you save!

Perhaps the most important factor in choosing an outdoor gear is the price. Simply talking about backpacks, there are dozens of brands and hundreds of styles from a few hundred to several thousand. I always think that the most fundamental purpose of writing an equipment article is to guide other friends on how to choose suitable outdoor equipment. From this report, I tried to use the price factor as an important choice for equipment.

According to the price, the common backpack products in the domestic market are divided into entry-level equipment of less than 500 yuan, primary equipment of less than 1,000 yuan, intermediate equipment of 1,000-2,000 yuan, and top-grade products of more than 2,000 yuan. (This classification is not very accurate, because there are some differences between domestic products and actual international sales prices, so it is not completely accurate to distinguish domestic products by price. I am not very sure about myself, but the general classification is also the same).

Among them, the backpack of about 1,500 yuan concentrates on a considerable part of the universal backpack and lightweight products in the international mainstream brands. And some of the top products of domestic brands.

Here, you must explain what a universal backpack is. Most of the so-called universal backpacks have excellent carrying systems. They can be used for hiking on foot, as well as for higher altitude and stronger activities. For a few weeks, the capacity is suitable. It is completely enough. It is not the same as the travel series or the special walking bag, which is relatively simple and not easy to cross the jungle, and not as expensive as the top product.

The German products always show the rigor of the Germans and the reliability of the German products. Compared with the American products that pay equal attention to technology, the German backpacks are not so much for the application of new technologies, especially the new ones. Although Germany is also a country that has produced such a madman as Nietzsche, you can't see the crazy move of extreme granite in the German backpack. Or, from the outdoor types of Europe as a whole; for Americans, across the American continent, the biggest challenge is the vast expanse of wilderness and jungle in the Midwest, while Europe is a towering alpine.
