If you love hiking, a hiking backpack is an essential part of your equipment. Unlike a daypack for everyday use, it has specific features to provide you with optimum support even on demanding hikes. Above all, however, it offers you a well thought-out carrying system. Mesh back constructions or back padding with ventilation channels ensure good ventilation of the back and therefore a high level of comfort, even if you work up a sweat.
A hiking backpack also has padded shoulder straps, a padded, adjustable hip belt and an adjustable chest strap. This ensures that the rucksack sits firmly on your back, even on steep climbs or easy scrambles. And because the physique of men and women differs, Tatonka offers special hiking rucksacks for women in addition to hiking rucksacks for men, which we at Tatonka also refer to as unisex models.
Compared to men, women are usually smaller, have a narrower waist, a shorter back, a wider pelvis and more feminine curves. The fit of Tatonka’s women’s hiking backpacks is designed with this in mind. Compared to the respective men’s models, they have a slightly smaller volume. The shoulder straps are narrower and more curved so that they run past the sides of the chest and do not constrict or flatten it. The height-adjustable chest strap can be positioned so that it does not pinch uncomfortably on the upper body.
At Tatonka, you will find women’s hiking backpacks with different carrying systems and in different sizes. If you are looking for a comfortable and uncomplicated hiking backpack for day tours, we recommend our Hike Pack 20 Women with mesh back carrying system, for example, which does not require any additional adjustment.
If you love challenging tours in the mountains, the Storm 18 Women RECCO is your ideal hiking partner. Its material-reduced back system offers maximum ventilation, but the rucksack can also be worn close to the back by changing the adjustment to optimally control the weight. This women’s hiking backpack is also equipped with a RECCO reflector so that you can be found more quickly by mountain rescuers in an emergency.
Our Norix 28 Women with a contact back carrying system is ideal for via ferrata tours. Thanks to the close fit on the back, the weight of this rucksack can be controlled particularly well. Thanks to its size, it is also suitable for two to three-day hut tours.
However, if you want to be out and about for longer, for example on a week-long hut tour or crossing the Alps, you will need a touring backpack for women with more volume. And for long-distance hikes or trekking tours, choose a trekking backpack for women.
All Tatonka hiking rucksacks are made from tear-resistant polyamide fabrics that are waterproof thanks to a multiple polyurethane coating on the inside of the fabric. The fabrics are impregnated to repel dirt and water; this impregnation is PFC/PFAS-free.
