EVERYBODY DESERVES A GOOD B A C K PA C K . A good backpack is so much more than a sack with straps. Backpacks like shoes have different fits, sizes and intended purposes. A backpack sometimes seems to be the most underestimated piece of equipment. Look at people’s faces when they carry a pack around at airports, train stations, in the city, on their way to a hostel or a camp site. Even better, look at their bags. Backpacks always tell the story. You’ll see people struggle through their day, all the while their packs are hanging and dangling. It’s common in everyday life for people to complain about (minor) backaches. If you plan to carry a backpack on your next adventure or even daily, invest a little extra time to seek out good advice and pick a pack that fits your back and your needs best. BACH builds packs that fit and accompany you for a long time. It is our mission to design backpacks that carry lighter, so that you can enjoy the journey more.
