You might think a backpack made with eco-friendly fabric would be like wearing a no-frills burlap sack on your back. Lafuma's Eco 40 Backpack is here to prove that theory very wrong. Lafuma made the Eco 40 with hemp and recycled polyester fabric, and they didn't skimp on the extras either. A stretch, ventilated back panel helps prevent back sweat, the steel spring rod frame supports your hiking gear, and ergonomic waist and shoulder belts feel comfortable all day long. The Eco 40 daypack has dual compartments, bottom and top access, and gusseted side pockets. Pull the included rain cover out if the weather turns ugly.

If you're looking for a daypack that goes with your organic cotton hiking shirt and shorts, grab the Lafuma Eco 28 Backpack. Lafuma made this lightweight pack out of recycled polyester fabric and included a ventilated, stretch hemp back system. The Eco back system includes wide vents, a steel rod frame, and 3D mesh side pads so this pack handles the weight of your day gear and air can circulate between your back and the pack. Side mesh gusseted pockets hold trail maps and water bottles, a zip pocket on the belt keeps a small digital camera at the ready, and the included rain cover helps protect your gear during summer showers.

How to choose your backpack

Your backpack should be comfortable enough to allow you to carry at least 20-30 pounds.?When trying out different styles ask the sales person for weights to put inside pack so that you'll have an idea of what 30 pounds feels like on your back.
Your backpack should be proportional to body size (your pack shouldn't be so large that you and couple of your closest friends could fit inside).?People under 5'6" inches should try to make sure their backpack in no taller than 22 inches--taller backpacks will hit the back of your head. Try to limit yourself to a pack that is between 2,800-5,000 cubic inches/45-80 Liters, unless you and Godzilla are the same size.
Start by knowing your intended trip length and gear-carrying preferences.
What's your style of backpacking? We categorize our gear as minimalist, ultralight, lightweight or deluxe. Think in systems to optimize weight and function.
Good fit is a must. To achieve this, you need to know your torso length.
Internal frame backpacks are designed to carry the pack weight on the hips and with their body-hugging design provide the most balance and freedom of movement. This is especially important if you will be on rough trails, off-trail, scrambling, climbing, or skiing.
Internal frame packs work well for nearly everyone and are the most popular option.
External frame backpacks were once the mainstays of backpacking. They can help you carry very heavy loads, but generally are best for covering easy terrain. Because they do not lie against the body they are cooler in hot weather. They are also cheaper and can be good introductory backpacks for growing kids and beginners.
