Backpacks from 40 to 60 liters – full freedom on longer tours

Anyone who is on the move for several days needs a backpack that combines capacity, comfort and durability. Backpacks with a volume of 40 to 60 liters offer exactly that: they are large enough to hold gear for multi-day tours, yet designed so that they are still comfortable to carry – even when fully loaded.

This backpack size is particularly ideal when you’re going for longer than just a day: for example on trekking tours, backpacking trips, hut-to-hut tours, ski tours or extended hikes with overnight stays. They offer enough space for clothing, sleep system, cooking gear, food and other equipment needed for several days of self-sufficient travel – without immediately falling into the expedition carrier category.

Especially in the fields of bushcraft, outdoor adventures, and survival, 40 to 60 liter backpacks are very popular. They offer enough space for a self-sufficient setup with a tarp, cooking gear, tools, sleeping bag, and additional equipment. This volume class has also proven itself for military applications or in security-relevant fields – whether for operations, marches, training camps, or as part of a modular loadout configuration.

Equipped with smart compartment layouts, solid load distribution and a well-thought-out carrying system, even heavier loads can be transported comfortably and close to the body. Many models also offer useful features such as MOLLE panels, compression straps, access from multiple sides or removable lid pockets – a real advantage for anyone who wants to stay organized on the go.
