Mountain sports and hiking

Practical, versatile and lightweight

Mountain sports have many facets, and your kit should too. In the mountains, you feel connected to nature and are always rewarded with an unbeatable view after a strenuous climb. In summer, mountain sports tend to consist of one- or multi-day hiking or trekking tours, whilst in winter skiing or snow walks are on the agenda. You can tackle all of this with confidence if you have the right kit with you.

Well prepared for your next hike

If you enjoy long hiking trips, you’ll know that it’s not just the right footwear that’s important, but also a high-quality rucksack. For a day trip, you’ll need a hiking rucksack. Ideally, this should have external pockets so you can access your water bottle quickly and easily. An extra compartment in the lid helps you keep essential items such as sun cream, tissues or your smartphone within easy reach at all times. Ergonomics are also important. As well as adjustable shoulder straps, your hiking rucksack should be padded against your back. If you’re heading out for several days, you’ll probably need a trekking rucksack. After all, for such a long trip, you won’t just be packing a jacket to throw on, but a change of clothes, thick socks and a jumper for the night, and you’ll likely have a tent and a sleeping bag with you too. The trekking rucksack must therefore offer plenty of storage space and the interior should be practically divided. In addition to shoulder straps, you’ll ideally need a hip belt so that you can carry the often heavy trekking rucksack in a way that’s easy on your back and saves energy. Whether it’s a trekking or hiking rucksack, the bag must be waterproof so that a sudden rain shower doesn’t throw you off balance. At Koffer24, you’ll find high-quality trekking and hiking rucksacks, as well as matching water bottles.

Packing your rucksack sensibly

Although a rucksack is practical because it’s comfortable to carry on your back and leaves your hands free, it can be tricky to quickly find exactly the item you need at any given moment. That’s why it’s important to pack your new hiking rucksack smartly. Ideally, use small bags such as toiletries bags to pack smaller items so they don’t get lost in the depths of your rucksack. Some rucksacks, particularly trekking rucksacks, have a side access pocket. This means you don’t have to empty out all your gear when you’re looking for something. At Koffer24, you’ll find rucksacks in various sizes and designs to suit your individual needs.
