Camo Backpacks

A camo backpack can be a fashion choice or functional camping gear for those hoping to blend into an outdoor environment. Once solely used by the military to hide soldiers and equipment from the enemy, camouflage is now a popular design motif for civilian clothing and accessories. Staples carries a wide selection of these backpacks from different brands including Jansport backpacks, SwissGear backpacks, and more.

Consider the Camo Pattern
While the colors green, gray, black and brown are common in camouflage designs, they can come in any combination of lines, brush strokes and blotches to produce a wide variety of patterns. The first step to choosing a camouflage backpack is picking a design. The right camo pattern is a matter of personal preference. However, those planning to take their backpacks on hunting trips or to paintball games should select patterns most suitable for camouflaging them at their destinations. For example, the woodland MARPAT camouflage pattern is ideal for forests while its sandy-colored variant works best for deserts. In the same way, a white fabric speckled with gray is the right camouflage for outdoor activities in the snow.

Features to Consider when Shopping for Camouflage Backpacks
All the factors used for selecting regular backpacks are also applicable when comparing camo options. These include style, capacity, fit and features. When categorized by style, a pack design can be suitable for certain activities such as traveling and climbing. Laptop and messenger bags are also backpacks but designed to carry certain items. It is also important to find a backpack that is the right fit. This helps reduce back pain and ensures that the pack stays comfortable even on long trips. The two most important body measurements to consider when looking for the best fit are torso length and waist size. Besides style, fit and comfort, make sure to weigh the various features of a backpack before ordering it. Things to look for include padding, pockets, ventilation, frame and special compartments.

Are There Camo Backpacks for Kids?
Yes, there are camo packs designed for kids. These are smaller and lighter than adult versions. Kid camo packs come in many colors and styles including pink backpacks and leather backpacks. While some are for outdoor activities like family hiking trips, others are simply school backpacks with camo patterns.

What are Camo Hydration Backpacks?
Hydration packs are small daypacks with built-in bladders and hoses. Most backpacks only have receptacles for water bladders but these bags come fully equipped for storing and delivering drinking water.

Why is Cordura Fabric a Popular Choice for Camo Backpacks?
Cordura is a blend of nylon and other fibers. It is a family of tear and fade-resistant fabrics. Thanks to their ability to survive abrasion and scuffs, these materials are popular choices for military wear and outdoor clothing. Their durability makes them excellent for backpacks and their color retention means the pattern won't fade. Besides these qualities, Cordura also makes a good material for backpacks because it is available in a wide range of thicknesses. Manufacturers can choose ultra-lightweight Cordura for kids' models and heavy-duty blends for packs intended to carry hunting gear.

What is the Difference between Camouflage Backpack and Tactical Backpack?
Camouflage rolling backpacks are a pack with wheels and camo patterns, while a tactical backpack is a military bag. A camo pack can be a military or civilian backpack. A tactical backpack has a rugged design and a build designed to meet military standards. It is heavier than a regular backpack and has special pouch-attachment systems for hooking up extra gear.
