How much weight can my backpack hold?
Answered By Editor
The weight that backpacks can hold depends on
the type of the backpack and its
manufacturing company. However there are
approximations given for the different types
of backpacks. It is always a good idea to
weigh items you put in your backpack to be
sure it complies with weight limits. This
will help prevent undue stress on zippers and
seams. Generally, light-weight backpacks can
carry a maximum of 40 pounds, but 25 to 30
pounds is advisable; while heavy backpacks
can carry 100 pounds of maximum load, but
only 65 to 75 pounds are advisable,
especially if there are any hanging items
carried outside the backpack on its straps.
It is to use the manufacturer's recommended
weight. Those recommended weights are there
for a reason.
