BACKPACKS
There are a number of very important equipment decisions that you will have to make. Choosing the right backpack for the event and for your comfort is one of these.
Points to consider:
Length of event (up to 6 hours, 12 / 24 / 48 hours or expedition length)
What team and manditory items must I carry?
How much fluid and food will I need to carry?
Can I quickly reach my fluid and food without removing my pack?
Weather and terrain that may be encountered
Will it be comfortable for both mountain biking and trekking / running?
Will it drain water quickly or can I waterproof it easily?
What does the pack weigh?
Is it tough enough to take the abuse again and again?
Is it the right size for my torso length?
