What to look for: 6 checks

These are the points that separate a good 40 litre hiking backpack from a poor one, in the order they usually matter.

  1. Torso lengthmeasure from the top of the hips to the C7 bone at the base of the neck. Many packs come in S, M and L torsos.
  2. Hip beltit should carry most of the weight. Padded, with a sturdy buckle, and adjustable to your hips.
  3. Back panelmesh creates ventilation, foam padding adds comfort. Adjustable suspension helps growing teenagers or shared packs.
  4. Accessa front-opening or side-zip pack gets at your gear without unpacking. Top-loading only is simpler but harder to dig in.
  5. Rain coverstored in its own pocket. A pack cover is lighter than a lined pack.
  6. Weightcheck empty weight, 1 to 1.5 kg is common for 40 L.
The mistake to avoid
  • A pack that does not fit transfers the load to the shoulders and hurts quickly. Test with weight in the pack before you commit.

On 2026-11-01, eBay buyers paid a median of $36.00 for 40 litre hiking backpack (search "40l hiking backpack"), across 450 sold listings. That is real money changing hands on eBay, which makes it a useful anchor when you compare asking prices elsewhere.

How to read it: the count is the sold-result total eBay shows for a search of sold and completed listings, and the median is from the first page of prices (about 60 listings, new and used mixed). It is not an Amazon price, it ignores shipping and condition, and it does not say what a given product is worth. A different spec will sit well above or below it.
