Best 100L Waterproof Hiking Backpack for Long Trips
Updated: Oct 22
A 100 liter pack is a serious piece of gear. It is the kind of bag you reach for when a trip lasts more than a night and you need room for a tent, a sleeping bag, food and clothes. If you are looking for a large waterproof hiking backpack, the 100L pack at Nu'Jants lists what it carries and how, and the price starts at $106.95.
What the listing says
The Waterproof Outdoor Camping Hiking 100L Large Capacity Backpack page says the material is durable and waterproof, built to keep gear safe and dry in tough conditions. The 100 liter capacity is described as enough for tents, sleeping bags, food and clothing.
Colors are sand, camouflage, black and army green. The page lists the following structure and comfort features:
A main compartment.
A front pocket.
A side pocket.
Adjustable shoulder straps.
A padded back panel for comfort over extended wear.
What 100 liters means in practice
Most day packs are 20 to 35 liters. A 100 liter pack is several times that, so it suits trips where you carry everything you need. That includes multi-day treks, long family camping weekends where you hike the gear in, or travel where you want one big bag. If you only need a day bag, this is more pack than you need.
What the page does not say
The listing does not give an empty weight, a frame type or a hip belt description. For a long trek, those matter. A heavy load rides best on a hip belt with a rigid frame. If you plan to carry more than a modest load, ask about those details through the contact page post before you order.
A simple packing approach
Put the sleeping bag at the bottom, since you will need it last.
Place heavy items, such as food and water, close to your back and in the middle.
Use the side pocket for a bottle or small tools you need often.
Keep the front pocket for a rain layer, a map and snacks.
Pack clothes in separate bags so one wet item does not soak the rest.
Even a waterproof bag should be packed with a plan. A waterproof material helps against rain, but zippers and seams are always a place to watch, so keep your electronics in a second bag.
Pair it with shelter and a drink
If you are building a camping setup, the tent and tarp comparison covers two shelters, and the 31 piece survival gear kit tucks into a side pocket. For a drink on the trail, an insulated tumbler from the tumbler guide works well.
Other Nu'Jants backpacks
If 100 liters is too much, the Backpacks collection has smaller options, such as the Stylish Backpack at $45 and the Backpack at $40. They suit commuting and school more than a long trail.
Paying for it
Shipping at Nu'Jants is a flat $5.99 on every order, and Afterpay, Klarna and Affirm are available at checkout if you would rather pay in 4. A share of every Nu'Jants sale also goes to the American Red Cross.
