A great selection of Rucksacks, Knapsacks, Backpacks and Bergen. Otherwise known as bags that are carried on your back and secured with two straps that go over the shoulders. There can be exceptions. Light weight types of backpacks are sometimes worn on only one shoulder strap, or in the hand like an ordinary bag.
Backpacks are often preferred to other bags for carrying heavy loads. Humans have a limited capacity to carry heavy weights for long periods of time in their hands. Large backpacks, used to carry loads over 10 kg (22 lbs), usually offload the largest part (up to about 90%) of their weight onto padded hip belts, leaving the shoulder straps mainly for stabilising the load. This improves the potential to carry heavy loads, as the hips are stronger than the shoulders, and also increases agility and balance, since the load rides nearer the person's own center of gravity.
