The new generation of rucksacks has been developed from classic designs that have been adapted to the specific needs of each activity.
The introduction of new innovative and durable materials has resulted in lighter and stronger rucksacks, while the ergonomic designs offer greater adaptability to different physiognomies to provide the user with unparalleled comfort.

The level of demand of the activity determines the performance we should demand from a hiking backpack. Important features include: resistance to the elements, durable materials and sufficient capacity for the activity
The nature of the terrain in which the backpack will be used must be taken into account, if you are doing activities in rough terrain, such as mountaineering, climbing or ski trekking, you need a backpack that fits snugly against your body and does not destabilise you as a result of unwanted movement of the load. The Columbus Peak and Columbus Aitxuri ranges meet these requirements and will be essential companions on any winter adventure.
Another key aspect of any rucksack is the breathability of the back; a properly designed back provides ventilation and prevents you from ending up with a wet, sweaty back.
Last but not least, it is very important to provide adjustment and regulation elements for weight distribution, which is achieved via the different adjustable straps and harnesses, including the chest and waist straps

Back structure: this is the part that shapes the rucksack and spreads the load across your back, helping you to avoid injuries and improve your balance.
These days aluminium structures are available, although the recommended material is carbon fibre due to its lightness and resistance.
The belt is another fundamental component, helping to keep the weight fixed and distributed over the hips, relieving the strain on the lower back.
The size of the rucksack varies depending on the height and build of the user, and there are also rucksacks designed specifically for women, although many multi-activity models can be considered to be unisex.

Knowing how to distribute the load in the rucksack is very important, because your balance and comfort depend upon it, and it will allow you to enjoy the activity and to carry your rucksack more efficiently, saving effort and avoiding the risk of injury.
Some basic principles when carrying the rucksack include:
• Bottom compartment sleeping bag, mattress and possibly a fleece jacket.
• Main compartment: clothes, toiletries and cookware.
• Top compartment: sunglasses, wallet and map.
• Side pockets: bottles of water.
• Belt pockets: energy bars, mobile phone, gloves
