Ultralight backpackers are always looking for the lightest backpacks. Unfortunately, lighter usually means more expensive when it comes to backpacking gear. There are some ways around this, though, for those on a tighter budget. There are ways to buy a lightweight backpacker cheaper, and also ways to make them. The latter is easier than you might think.

Making A Cheap Lightweight Backpack

There are some, like ultralight backpacking guru Ray Jardine, who sew their own backpacks. I have sewn some backpacking gear and clothing before, and I can tell you from experience that unless you are extremely skilled at sewing, it isn't likely to come how you expect it to. Also unless you want to become an expert at sewing, making a backpack this way takes too much time for the money saved. It would be better to just work an extra shift at your job and buy a good pack.

You should think of the season and duration of your trip when searching for the right backpack dimension. Because of their importance, these two factors will decide your ideal backpack dimensions.
Backpack for Hiking in The Summer

For a day hike, the capacity should be 1,500-2,000 cubic inches (equal to 25-35 liters). If you’ll be camping out for two nights, the backpack size / capacity should be 2,500 or 3,000 cubic inches or 40 to 50 liters.
