The size of backpack you need depends on what you want to use it for. Men's backpacks or women's backpacks of 10 to 18 litres are fine for packing a lunch and a drink. A backpack of 18 to 30 litres is ideal for school or a day trip, as it holds quite a bit more. These often have a separate laptop compartment too. Backpacks over 30 litres work as a weekend bag: an extra outfit and towels fit in easily.
For a short walk, women's bum bags are really easy and handy. They hold the essentials, like keys, phone and wallet. If you're planning a long or tough hike, you're better off taking a bigger backpack so you can bring water bottles and maybe some food.
The maximum weight of a backpack depends on your own body weight. For adults it can be 20% of body weight, for children 10%. That's what's recommended to avoid back problems.
Just like shoes and clothes, a backpack needs to fit well. Not every backpack fits everyone perfectly. So it's important to try one on before you buy it. That way you'll know straight away whether you and the backpack are a match. Also think carefully about what you want to use it for and check that it's suitable.
