Backpack for 1-day excursions

A one-day excursion means leaving in the morning and returning the same evening.
The contents of this backpack are suitable for one person only.
A hiking backpack is personal and should give you the freedom to carry what you need. If you want to add items to share, be careful not to exceed the weight limit. Try to keep it around 6 kg, 8 kg at most.

Some chapters are divided into two equipment lists depending on the type of trekking you do or your passions: the essential on a black background and the optional feature with a green background.

The backpack

The backpack must have a capacity of between 20 and 30 litres.
E.g.:
Mammut Lithium 20, Lithium 20 Women
Deuter (unisex) AC Lite 21 SL, Speed Lite 23 SL, Trail 24 SL

The equipment must be of high quality and, if possible, have a dual purpose in order to reduce the number of accessories and therefore the weight.

On the Backpack

This refers to external pockets or nets, places that are easily accessible but do not dangle.

  • Backpack cover :🛒Amazon, Aliexpress
  • Rubbish bag
    For their own waste, but also for waste found lying around in nature.  
  • Toilet paper in watertight envelope with hook.
    Hanging it avoids laying it on the ground. It therefore remains more hygienic and does not get wet.

A small water bottle within reach and the rest in your rucksack. Always take a little more than you think you will actually need.

Spare clothes

Choose your spare clothes according to the location and season.
Best to keep it in a waterproof bag.

Vestiti di ricambio per zaino trekking
Optional
  • Waterproof bag ≥10L. 🛒Amazon, Aliexpress
    Spare clothes are mainly needed when the ones you are wearing are wet from rain or you have fallen into water. If spare clothes are not stored in a waterproof bag, they will most likely end up in the same condition and therefore useless. It is therefore best to store them in a waterproof bag. I recommend a minimum capacity of 10 litres, or 12 litres if possible.

  • Thermal blanket: 🛒Amazon, Aliexpress
    Rarely used, but when you need it, it's a great help. Small and lightweight, it allows you to cover yourself, insulate yourself from damp ground and signal your location.

  • Lightweight protective gloves
    When you come across an obstacle that requires you to use your hands to get past it, it’s best to protect your hands and avoid injury. They’re also useful after days of walking with poles to prevent blisters caused by rubbing. I recommend the ATG brand, Maxiflex model.
