Fitting Backpacks
Compression Straps
Compression Straps are an essential feature of an Internal Frame
Backpack and allow you to compress the backpack around loaded equipment
to provide a tight and stable load. When there is not enough equipment
in the backpack to fill it to maximum capacity, the Compression
Straps close up that extra space, preventing undesirable load sway,
or pack float. Compression Straps are located on both sides of the
backpack and usually comprise of 25 mm or 1” webbing straps, ladder
lock buckles or side release buckles. Internal Frame Backpacks come
with a single Compression Strap or as many as three or more Compression
Straps on either side. Top loading hiking or hybrid backpacks also
have Compression Straps that run down the front of the backpack
that secure the top lid tight against the backpack. Top loading
hiking or hybrid backpacks that have height adjustable lids, can
have three to five Compression Straps holding the top lid securely
to the backpack
Internal Frame Backpacks include vertical Sleeping Bag Compression
Straps that run over the lower sleeping bag compartment. When fully
packed and before zipping closed, tighten down the Sleeping Bag
Compression Straps and compress the contents. The lower compartment
is then easier to close and this will alleviate pressure on the
zip closure, protecting the zip and preventing damage to the backpack.
The Sleeping Bag Compression Straps are also long enough, to provide
another means of carrying a sleeping mat securely on the outside
of the backpack, a stuff sack, or even a small roll bag.
