February 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #156: Watch Out For Injuries From Discount Hiking Backpacks
Tip of the Week
Hiking backpacks are not all created equal. If you choose discount hiking backpacks, you may save some money, but they could end up causing serious injuries, especially if you use them for longer, extended hikes. Often, discount hiking backpacks don't fit as well as they should, and they don't adjust as much as you need. That can result in discomfort, like chafing under the arms or across the chest. Or, it could get worse. Ill-fitting hiking backpacks have caused rotator cuff and shoulder injuries in some hikers, and aggravated existing back problems. Invest in a good quality hiking backpack to ensure your first hiking adventure isn't so uncomfortable you never hit the trail again!
