The advantage of small backpack is its use and compactness. The truth is, that we will not store many things inside, but that is rather relative. Although it is a small backpack, it should meet certain specifications that will guarantee comfort needed.
What actually is a small backpack ? Small backpack is a pack, that stores only the essentials and nothing else. For some it could go even like this – small backpack does not store even the essentials. These people recklessly overload the interior spaces, although they could do with the minimum. In general, the small backpacks are all packs up to 25 liters. Such pack is large enough to fit all the essentials yet small enough for comfortable carry. It does not differ from the larger packs - it also features two shoulder straps and is intended to transport things.
We shouldn´t condemn small backpack just because it´s small. Why carry a large fifty-liter backpack with you, when it will be either half-empty or full of unnecessary things. The small backpacks are perfect for such situations. It will be comfortable on our back which is provided by quality carrying system. Yes, even small backpacks deserve to have quality carrying system. It stays in place thanks to the hip belt and chest strap.
