New York Backpacking Gear Rental-Medium Capacity Backpack For Rent-New York City Hiking Equipment Rentals

Backpack rentals in New York City, NY. These are more like work horse packs that fit the needs of most customers, such as those going on casual weekend or longer backpacking trips. They carry several makes and models within this line, mostly models from Gregory and Mountainsmith. Which are top-quality brands that are durable and fit well as you rack up miles on the trail. LowerGear offers high quality tent rentals by MSR, Kelty, Alps Mountaineering, Marmot and Sierra Designs. Big tents for families. Little tents for the weight-conscious ounce-counter. In-between tents for the rest of us. They've got them all. Rent camping and backpacking gear like backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, gps systems and much more in New York City, Yonkers, Bronx, Baychester, Bedford Park, Bronxdale, City Island and all of New York.

The packs in this series are designed for around 40 pounds of gear, but if packed carefully with a balanced load, can satisfactorily carry 50 or more pounds without stressing out too much. But, 40 pounds should be way more than enough to get you thru any common multiday trip, especially in moderate weather when you don’t have to carry so much in the way of extra clothes. This size pack is also their recommendation for international trips, for example, bouncing around Europe for a month or so.

The specific packs they usually have on hand are the Gregory Forester, Gregory Triconi, and Mountainsmith Cross Country. The Gregory’s are some of the companies long-time favorites and the Mountainsmiths often make magazine “best buy” lists, so any model they have will do well for you. You won’t be disappointed either way.

LowerGear has a wide variety of packs for any type of trip, such as ultralight trekking in the backcountry, two-month adventure across Europe, or for tackling Everest. Pick your pack based on the type of trip you envision taking, how much gear you need to carry, and your torso length.

For the typical weekend or 3-4 day trip carrying gear for yourself, consider one of the Medium Capacity Backpacks. For a week-long trip, or weekender where you're packing a lot of gear and food for yourself and maybe others, one of the Hi Capacity Backpacks will do the trick. They also have some Lightweight Packs for those trips where every ounce counts and Expedition Packs for those that are a little more serious about their back country adventure.

These packs have a lot of comfortable padding, weighing in at a bit more than five pounds and have a capacity of around 3500 cubic inches, give or take a few hundred. What does that mean? These are all big enough for most multiday adventures. Exceptions could include trips where you need to pack a really big sleeping bag and additional warm clothing, or when one person is packing gear for several people. In those cases, consider renting a high-capacity pack instead. They also rent expedition packs when you need to take the kitchen sink. If you can take lightweight gear that packs down well, and want to shave weight from your back, you could also rent a few ultralight backpacks.
