Why can carrying a backpack cause back pain?

An ill-fitting or poorly worn backpack can quickly lead to back pain . Here are the main risk factors:

• Improper weight distribution : Heavy objects placed far from your back create an imbalance.
• Improper adjustments : Straps that are too loose or poorly adjusted increase tension.

It is to avoid these problems that Hindbag designs ergonomic backpacks !

How to properly adjust your backpack to avoid pain?

Make sure the straps are adjusted so that the bag sits snugly at the top of your back, just above your kidneys. Opt for a model like the Guillaume backpack , which has padded and adjustable straps for optimal comfort throughout the day.

Best practices for carrying a backpack on a daily basis

• Weight distribution: Place the heaviest items against your back and the lightest towards the front. The Eliot backpack is designed with several compartments: ideal for optimal organization and to avoid tension.
• Limit the total weight: A golden rule! The backpack should not exceed 10 to 15% of your body weight. Turn to lightweight bags, like the Lucien backpack .
