The sternum strap's integrated safety whistle is a nice attribute, as well, especially if you enjoy hiking solo. What I like most about this pack is the sliding torso adjustment that allows you to really dial in the pack's fit to your body. What I care less for is the lack of zippered access to the main compartment, which limits easy gear access. ---- 👉 #2: Best For Comfort & Adjustability: Arc’teryx Bora AR 49 https://alnk.to/9T1F5F9 This thoughtfully designed pack is constructed from a blend of durable, high-denier nylon fabrics and a Thermo-molded frame sheet with aluminum stays that functions to evenly distribute the load between your shoulders and hips. In addition, the pack is weatherproof — so you don’t need to worry about fussing over having a rain cover on hand. What I like most about this pack are the extremely customizable features — namely, shoulder straps that adjust up and down and can also be made narrower or wider as needed. The floating hip belt is my other favorite feature — it slides side to side while also boasting the ability to move up and down in reflection of your natural stride. Things I don’t care for about this pack include its pricey $500 cost and smaller gear carrying capacity at 49 liters compared to other models in its class. ---- 👉 #3: Best Budget Backpack: REI Co-op Flash 55 https://alnk.to/7qd3mfV This pack is an ideal choice for hikers seeking a solid pack for quick trips that costs under $200. REI crafted the women’s version of the Flash 55 with versatility and convenience in mind. It’s a lightweight pack — weighing in under 3 pounds — but still includes an ample number of organizational pockets and straps for securing your gear. Some of the pockets are even removable, which is a neat bonus feature. What I love most about this pack is its strong, stable integrated suspension system. Even when the pack is fully loaded, the weight stays distributed on your hips and won't weigh down your shoulders. What I don’t care for about this pack is the fixed torso length, which limits its range of adjustability, and the somewhat inflexible hip belt ---- 👉 #4: Best Ultralight Backpack: Osprey Lumina 60 https://alnk.to/4XorCRm Osprey designed the Lumina 60 specifically to function as the best ultralight pack for women you can buy. It’s 1.81lb weight is impressive, even by serious ultralight standards, and while you would think it would lack support, Osprey’s integrated full-frame and suspension system prove otherwise. What I covet most about this pack — other than how lightweight it is — is how comfortable it is to wear even when loaded down heavier than recommended. What I don’t care for about the Lumina 60 includes its minimal padding in places as well as the fixed torso length ---- 👉 #5: Best Pack to Carry Heavy Loads: Granite Gear Blaze 60 https://alnk.to/b7qXXqx The Blaze 60 features an adjustable frame, 3-tier side and compression straps that help keep your load balanced and secure when you’re on the move, a fully removable top lid, and an adjustable hip belt. What I like most about the Granite Gear Blaze 60 is that you can easily access the contents located at the bottom of the pack thanks to the spacious main compartment accessible via a tall, vertically-oriented, hidden zipper. The only complaint I have about this pack is relatively superficial — namely, the dark material that makes interior pack contents hard to see. The hip belt can also be quite finicky to adjust
