Problems with using a backpack for hiking
Using a backpack can have several drawbacks when using them for hiking, here are a few of the most common problems faced when using a backpack:
- Continuous friction from the backpack’s straps or back panel can cause blisters or chafing, particularly during long hikes or in hot, humid conditions.
- Backpacks can trap heat against your back, leading to excessive sweating and discomfort, particularly in warm weather or during strenuous hikes.
- A poorly fitted or overly heavy backpack can cause strain on your back, shoulders, and neck, leading to discomfort and even injury over the course of a long hike.
- It's easy to overpack for a hike, leading to unnecessary weight that can make the hike more exhausting and less enjoyable.
