We rent backpacks via nationwide shipping or local pickup at our retail store.  We have a wide variety of packs for any type of trip - ultralight trekking in the backcountry, two-month adventure across Europe; packing the baby around on a day hike; or for tackling Everest. Pick your pack based on the type of trip you envision taking; how much gear you need to carry; and your torso length. Read the detailed product description for each pack, but here's a quick guide:

For the typical weekend trip just carrying gear for yourself, consider one of our Medium Capacity Backpacks.

For longer trips, or even a short weekender where you're packing a lot of gear and food for yourself and maybe others, one of our Hi Capacity Backpacks might be a better option. The Hi-Capacity packs will also more effectively carry heavier weights - a lot of water, for example.

We also have Expedition Packs for those carrying a real serious load on their backcountry adventure. And see the baby carriers for your most precious cargo.

Most of our Medium- and Hi-Capacity packs are adjustable within a "one size fits most" range, so unless you're at one size extreme or the other, they should be adjustable to fit. The lightweight and expedition pack selections may indicate a more limited size range they will fit.
