What should women look out for when choosing a rucksack?
When it comes to rucksacks – whether for women or men – ergonomics and comfort play a key role. That’s why women’s rucksacks differ from men’s rucksacks primarily in terms of size, fit and carrying systems. On average, women are shorter than men and the ratio of leg length to back length is different. A women’s rucksack should therefore have a shorter back panel. The shoulder straps should be narrower and, due to narrower shoulders, have a pronounced S-shape. Any chest strap should be positioned higher than on a men’s rucksack. Hip belts are usually more heavily padded and positioned so that they distribute the weight effectively across the generally wider hip bones. For rucksacks intended for everyday use or the office, other criteria naturally come into play, such as a laptop compartment or simply a stylish appearance.

Which women’s rucksack is right for me?
To find out which women’s rucksack is right for you, a few personal factors come into play.
Firstly, it’s important to decide what you’ll be using the women’s rucksack for. There’s a wide range of styles available in different sizes and made from various materials. You can choose a rucksack that suits the occasion.
Once you’ve narrowed down your choice based on the occasion, your personal height and body shape will also determine which women’s rucksack is right for you. So, when buying, make sure the rucksack is the right size to fit your back perfectly. The carrying system can usually be adjusted to suit your individual needs.
To test whether a rucksack suits you, you should fill it as heavily as possible and then carry it on your back for a while. You will instinctively feel whether it sits properly. Large travel rucksacks or hiking rucksacks for women, for example, should always sit in such a way that some of the weight is transferred to the hips. Therefore, the straps must sit at the optimal height, particularly in that area.
Smaller rucksacks for everyday use do not necessarily need to hug your back perfectly. However, they should not cut into or pinch your skin anywhere and should be comfortable to carry overall.
