What are good internal Frame Backpacks for plus size women?

I am plus size, 22/24, and need a really good Internal Frame Backpack for hiking and camping. I know a lot of the packs have small Hip Belt sizes and want to hear about some that don’t. I am willing to pay a lot for good quality and a good fit.

No matter what size a person is, the best bet for getting the right fit in a pack is to go to a good outfitter, just as you would for hiking boots. Look for a shop that is mainly backpacking and other wilderness sports rather than the multi-sport chains. Some that come to mind are the chains REI and EMS. And most major metro areas have independent stores that sell packing and climbing gear.

I worked in that business for a number of years — the sales people are mostly trained to fit you properly and should have weights (we used 5 and 10 pound cotton sacks of dried beans) that you can put in the packs to see how they feel on you fully packed.

You might want to look at some of the packs designed for climbers — they tend to not have a hip belt since it gets in the way of the harness. Also, better regular internal frame packs (Kelty, Osprey, Lowe, Mountainsmith and Gregory) can often have the hip belts swapped out for different sizes or removed completely. Internal frame packs are mostly designed to have the Shoulder Harness bear the weight — the hip belt is more for stabilization than weight transfer anyway. When I Cross Country ski tour I take the hip belt off my pack because it gets in the way. Several European Internal Frame Pack brands like Karrimor and Sacs Millet make packs with no hip belt.

If you are not near a good outfitter shop, look online at CampMor’s catalog. They have a good range of packs including several models built for women (narrower in the shoulders and shorter waisted than men’s packs).

Incidentally, I do NOT recommend JanSport packs. I sold packs for 3 years for a vendor who had all the major brands. Our returns for defects and breakage with the Jansport packs were twice as much as for all other packs combined (and no, we did not sell more Jansport). I’ve also owned close to 30 packs of various makes during forty plus years of camping and the only ones I ever had blow out were both Jansport (frayed and burst seams, zippers and frames breaking, grommets pulling out.)

Hiking Backpack Tips: Reduce Backpack Weight For More Comfortable Hiking.

Many of hiking lovers may have problems about they could not manage to organize their backpack effectively. As hiking require minimum weight to enable hiker to have most comfortable during hiking. Some of hiking expert suggests that the most important that generally make the hiking backpack too heavy is food. So the following article will take you through the best tips about how to organize you hiking backpack effective by reducing unnecessary food items to make lighter backpack.

As mentioned above that many hiking expert agreed that we should focus on reducing food item to make lighter backpack. So we will start with the item that most important in hiking, water. Water is considered as the most important food item that we need for survive during hiking. Water helps us to control temperature in the body and to maintain the balance of moisture. It is quite hard to reduce the amount of water to lighter the backpack as it is necessary item. However, we can control the amount of water carrying by consider to carrying not too much. You have to estimate the amount of water that you need for entire of the trip. This could be done by study throughout the map and learning from others about water sources before you hike will reduce your water weight. This is because during hiking, there are different amount of water need for different areas so you may carry less water if you have learn form the map that there are consistent water source available throughout the route.

However, you have to bare in mind that, hiking is a kind of exercise activity, which we need a lot off food to generate the power for it. Preparing not enough food may be harmful so you have to prepare them a lot more than normal. For example, you may need calories two times more than usual for a full-Day Hiking trip. So you may prepare kind of food that provides calories in your backpack. One thing that you have to be aware of is do not take light junk food with hope that they will provide you enough calories, they are not! Looking for nutritious calories from quality food instead.

When we talk about nutritious calories, most of hikers usually think about fruits and vegetables. These kind of food could be contained in hiking backpack but only in considerable amount. In fact, you may carry fruits rather than vegetables because you can readily find fruit leather and things like dried apricots, banana chips, and apple chips. The other kind of food that very popular among hikers is freeze dried food, due to its very Light Weight and easy to contain in a backpack. Some experts advice that you may have them in your backpack but do not expect dense in nutritious calories from them. There is a way to help you to consider whether the dried food provide enough nutritious calories is to read on its nutritious fact labels so you can make sure that you will get enough nutritious calories during the hike.

Now you can understand why there’s a growing interest in hiking as well as how to prepare the backpack for hiking. When people start looking for more information about it, you’ll be in a position to meet their needs.
