Backpack

Useful information to know and what to bring with you

USEFUL INFORMATION

Trekking Backpack

Your backpack will be your inseparable travel companion along the entire Romea Strata: it must be comfortable, durable, and lightweight. There’s no need to carry too much: any superfluous item will only be extra weight. The ideal is a backpack between 30 and 50 liters, with a lumbar belt and adjustments for shoulders and back.

 

 

Weight Distribution in the Backpack

Organize the contents functionally:

  • In the center and close to your back: the heaviest items
  • At the bottom: sleeping clothes or spare clothes
  • At the top and in the outer pockets: light items or those you need to use often
