Finding the Right Backpack

Klättermusen backpacks are designed to meet the practical needs of outdoor adventurers – from fast and light missions to demanding multi-day expeditions. Choosing the right pack can make all the difference in comfort and performance.


To help you find the perfect backpack, start by asking yourself two key questions:
- How long will you be out?
- What activity will you primarily use it for?


As a general rule:


Day trips: up to 33 liters

2–4 days: 30–55 liters

5+ days: 50 liters and above


Use this guide to explore our three volume categories and discover which pack suits your needs best. For detailed specifications, see each product page.

Smart Design & Advanced Technology

Klättermusen backpacks combine innovative design with advanced materials to deliver comfort, durability, and adaptability in any condition. From ergonomic carrying systems to modular features and weather-resistant fabrics, every detail is engineered to enhance your experience outdoors.

Fabrics & Technologies

A lot of our backpacks features our loop-and-hole webbing, allowing you to customize your backpack with extra storage and accessories to suit your needs. All backpacks are made with water-resistant fabrics to withstand light rain, but for heavy downpours we recommend adding a rain cover, as most packs are not fully waterproof due to untaped seams.

Lightweight vs. Midweight backpacks

When choosing between lightweight and midweight packs, consider your priorities. Lightweight packs are streamlined for speed and agility, removing extra zippers and pockets to keep weight to a minimum without sacrificing essential features. Midweight packs, on the other hand, focus on carrying comfort over longer periods and include added organizational features like multiple pockets and zippers, resulting in a slightly heavier design.

Size adjustment

Finally, all Klättermusen backpacks are unisex and offer multiple adjustment points – including shoulder straps, hip belt, and back length – combined with ergonomic back panels to ensure a perfect fit for every adventure.
