THE KEY TAKEAWAYCompare both formats using the same equipment list. Carrying comfort, access and storage space are easier to assess with the intended contents.

How will the team carry the bag?

A backpack may be helpful when team members need to keep both hands free while walking. A shoulder bag may suit a smaller set of supplies. When comparing them, consider how far the bag will be carried, for how long and at what packed weight.

Compare the opening and internal layout

Consider how the main compartment opens and where smaller items would go. Comparing the pockets, pouches and dividers with your own equipment list can help you picture how each bag would work in practice.

Check the available space

External dimensions are useful for comparing bags, but the usable space inside may be smaller. If equipment fit is important, ask for the relevant internal measurements and consider checking them with a sample.

Choose a few styles to compare

You’re welcome to send us links or model numbers for the bags you’re considering, along with your equipment list and expected quantity. We can help you compare the listed dimensions and discuss any changes you have in mind.
