At present, many backpacks made by custom backpack manufacturers have a volume adjustment function, so that you can better use your backpack. Perhaps a backpack labeled 50 liters can be adjusted to reach a volume of 60 liters. Most of these backpacks have the words 50L + or 50L + 10 on the label. Such a design should include: longer straps (to fasten smaller items in the bag); expandable packages (for more equipment on the way); plug-in points (more equipment can be placed outside the bag) ; Freely removable small package (daily package).

 

Durability:

 

The use of the backpack is to pass the multiple tests of time, high torture and pressure. It is important to find a lightweight and wear-resistant material! At the same time, it should pay attention to whether the stitching of the car is firm, drawn and reinforced at the opening, whether there is a reinforced double-layer treatment at the bottom of the backpack, and whether the contact points between the strap and the backpack body are strong enough.

 

Fabric selection:

 

Including the degree of wear resistance, waterproof technology, fabric weight, tear resistance, softness and UV resistance. (Tear-resistant fabrics are mostly grid-shaped; general backpacks do not have a waterproof function and need to be equipped with rain covers; wear-resistant materials are mostly used at the bottom of backpacks, where they touch the ground and the most rocks).

 

HDThe HD number of the fabric used in the backpack is also an important index to measure the quality of the backpack. The HD number indicates the tightness of this fabric weaving. Most backpacks use 300-400HD fabrics, while higher-end fabrics use more than 500HD or even 1000HD fabrics. At present, higher-end backpacks will use CORDURA fabric from Du PONT, which is a very strong anti-tear product. Many manufacturers will use CORDURA as the bottom of the bag, and it is more useful for CORDURA to make the entire backpack (such as the BIG PACK's PERFORMIC series).
