At Roaming Nomads, we’ve put together a collection of hiking bags that focus on comfort, durability, and practical design—gear that’s ready for the miles ahead, not just the photo at the summit.
This is where you’ll find some of the best hiking bags for everyday walks, multi-day trips, and everything in between.
We stock a carefully chosen selection of hiking bags that work for a wide range of outdoor trips. Whether you're out for a few hours or loading up for the day, there's a bag here that fits.
Day Hiking Bags (10L–30L)
Ideal for light outings or shorter walks. Space for a water bottle, jacket, lunch, and the usual extras like maps or sunscreen. Lightweight, easy to wear, and built for regular use.
Mid-Size Hiking Bags (30L–50L)
A practical choice for longer hikes where you might need to carry more. These offer more support and room for layers, food, and other kit without being bulky.
Large Hiking Bags (50L+)
If you’re carrying extra gear or combining hiking with camping, these larger packs offer extra capacity with better weight distribution. Still manageable on the trail with the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
What size hiking bag should I choose?
For short walks or half-day hikes, 10–25 litres is usually enough. For longer outings or variable weather, 30–45 litres gives you more space for layers, food, and extras.
Are your hiking bags waterproof?
Many include a water-resistant outer fabric and some come with integrated rain covers. For persistent rain, we always suggest using dry bags or liners inside.
What’s the difference between a hiking bag and a camping backpack?
Hiking bags are usually lighter and better ventilated. Camping packs are often larger and designed to carry heavier loads for longer durations. If you’re doing a bit of both, a mid-size pack around 40–50L can work well.
Do any of your bags have space for hydration bladders?
Yes, several of our hiking bags include sleeves for hydration bladders and hose ports, so you can stay topped up without having to stop.
