It’s the weekend, the weather is good and you’re looking forward to a few days off from your busy life.
But as a whole, what do you pack?
You could pack a few essentials, a bag with a few basics or you could pack an entire bag.
Here are a few tips for packing your best weekend away.

1.
The backpack needs to be light, strong and packable for the day You need a backpack that fits well, has enough room for essentials, and can handle your day on the go.
The best backpack for the job: The KFC Xtra, with its light weight and slim profile, is a great choice for those who don’t have much to carry.
The Zpacks ZX-10, a lightweight, stylish pack that is also very packable, is another great choice.
The Nautilus is a backpack for those with more space and more room for things to carry on the bike or to keep in their bag.
The Trail Boss X is another lightweight, packable option for those looking for a compact and lightweight backpack.

The bag needs to fit you The bag you’re going to pack should be comfortable and versatile.
If you’re not a fan of a particular size or shape, go for a small size bag.
For example, the Nautilux fits comfortably in a small to medium size backpack, and the Trail Boss is a big enough bag for a large to medium sized backpack.
The only bag that fits in both sizes is the Trail Blazer, which is large enough for a medium to large sized backpack, but not as large as a large bag, so you need to find the right size.
3.
The pack needs to have enough room to carry everything you need for the trip The main priority when packing is getting the essentials in the pack.
For most people, that means a few things: water bottle, snacks and water, extra socks, and waterproof sunglasses.
If that’s not an issue for you, there are loads of other essentials you can pack in the main pack.
You could also bring some extra clothing and carry it in the backpack to keep it cool when you’re cycling, and you can add more essentials if the weather gets cold.
The key is to have room for everything, and this means you can’t leave anything behind, so it’s important to pack in a way that’s practical for you.

You need to get used to the different colours of packs We like to think of the pack as a canvas, and it’s crucial to get comfortable with different colours and textures.
We recommend the classic pack, and if you like to travel with a lighter bag or a larger backpack, you’ll find plenty of options.
You can also experiment with different colour palettes.
For the lighter backpack, there’s the Mango and the Orange, which are both black and have a slightly orange or yellow tint.
The Orange and Orange can be found on the Zpacks Sainsburies, and both of them are lightweight and easy to pack.
The Mango pack has the classic colour scheme, and is very easy to use.
The other colour is the Black, which has a darker shade and looks a bit more “tangy”.
The Sainsburs have a darker colour scheme that has a slightly darker tint.

You’re going on a bike and it could get pretty hot The most important consideration when packing for a bike ride is how hot it will get, and that’s why we recommend that you take the following into account: pack water and extra waterproof gloves
