Drybag

Frequently asked questions

What size backpack do I need for hiking?

For day hikes a 20–30 litre pack is usually enough. Overnight trips of 2–3 days typically need a 40–60 litre carrier, while expeditions longer than 3 days or carrying group gear usually call for 60–80 litres or more.

How do I choose a carrier that fits my body?

Torso length matters more than height. Choose a carrier with an adjustable back system, and make sure the hip belt sits on your hip bones so most of the load rests on your hips rather than your shoulders. Trying one on with weight at a Consina store is the most accurate way to check fit.

Are Consina carriers waterproof?

Water resistance varies by model, so check the material details on each product page. For rainy-season hikes, use a rain cover and pack clothing and sleeping bags in dry bags to keep them dry.
