Backpack Accessories to Enhance Your Travel Experience

Now that you've found the right travel backpack, its time to pack your gear. For most of us, its difficult to fit the essential items into an already jam packed backpack. Here are a few accessories that will enhance your trip experience and take a load off the shoulders.

Waterproof Backpack Cover

To ensure that your travel backpack stays completely dry, waterproof backpack covers are available to keep the moisture out. These covers are made of a lightweight, polyurethane material that can be easily stored in your bag when not being used. Also, if your still looking for a travel backpack, look for a pack that already has a waterproof cover attached, it will save you a few extra bucks.


Compression Bags

For most of us, fitting everything you require into your travel bag can be a chore. With compression bags like the one in the picture, they allow travellers to compress items that require a lot of space. Compression packs are suitable for shrinking bulky articles of clothing and sleeping bags.



Hydration Bladders

Hydration bladders come in all different shapes and sizes. If your looking for something that fits into one of your existing travel backpacks, this little handy accessory will do the trick. Hydration bladders like this one can hold up to 1 to 1.5 litres of liquid while taking up little space. These types of hydration bladders are sold without their own backpack; however, they are designed to fit into most travel bags and those travel bags come in a variety of sizes. 


Hennessy Hammock

The Hennessy Hammock is a great accessory for when you require a tent but do not want to carry around a bulky piece of gear. If you don't mind being a little closer to nature, these hammocks fit neatly into your backpack and can be assembled in less than 3 minutes. These hammocks also provide shelter from all the elements,  as well as mosquitos and other insects.


Gorrillapod Flexible Tripods

This handy accessory is great for when a camera tripod is needed for your adventure but you don't want to be stuck carrying a bulky, heavy camera tripod. The Gorillapod has flexible legs which enables it to attach to almost any surface. This accessory can support cameras up to 5Ibs and require very little backpack space.


These are just a few of some travel accessories that will help enhance your adventure travel experience, and will take a load off the shoulders.

Happy Packing,
