Hiking Backpacks for Women
“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”
-Frank Lloyd Wright
Hikers need backpacks to hold their essentials, water, food, and extra clothing. In the past few years, manufacturers have finally realized that there are a lot of women day hikers and backpackers, and their bodies aren’t the same as men’s. Therefore, we need women’s specific packs so we don’t end up with aching shoulders and backs!
In my view of the backpack world, there are 3 main categories of packs: Hydration Packs and Hydration Waistpacks, Daypacks, and Backpacks. Learn more below!
Hydration Packs and Hydration Waistpacks
Women's Hydration Waistpacks
This is what you can take with you on a short hike when all you really need is some water and your car keys. I use my CamelBak Luxe Backpack or my Nathan Speed 2 Waistpack when I am trail running or on a local partial day hike. Read more about hydration waistpacks here.
Womens Hiking Daypacks
Womens Hiking Daypacks
A daypack is what you need on the trail when you are out for several hours or an entire day (hence the name “daypack”) and have your 10 Essentials, food, water, and extra layers of clothing. Read more about womens daypacks here.

Womens Backpacks
A backpack is much larger than a hydration waistpack or daypack. You’ll be using a backpack to carry everything you need on overnight trips, such as your tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, stove, water, 10 Essentials, and much more. I have a comprehensive backpacking checklist for what you’ll want to have in your backpack, but in the meantime read more about womens backpacks here.
