I am Swedish and obviously my first language is Swedish. Now when we Swedes learn English we are subjected to American English and British English. I have seen that what I label as rucksacks are so called rucksacks in England and some other European countries whilst in America they are called Backpacks. So do we use both terms or just one term? And which out of rucksack or backpack is correct? It would be good to get some feed back on this actually so if any of you reading this article could leave your comments on this matter they would be greatly appreciated.
For now I shall use the term rucksack as that is what I am used to and shall point you in the direction of a very good Jansport rucksack that I would like to own. Jansport was founded in 1967 and is actually the world's biggest rucksack maker that nowadays is responsible for selling nearly half of all small rucksacks in America. All the rucksacks Jansport sell come with a lifetime warranty.

The rucksack in question is the Jansport Trail Series Big Bear 82 Rucksack. The Big Bear has all the attributes as a hiker or serious outdoor type looks for in a rucksack. It is very spacious with a 5000 cubic inch capacity. Extremely comfortable to wear due to the S-curve shoulder straps, a very special sliding harness and also side compression straps to help with the management of the load you are carrying. And to top everything off it only weighs 3 pounds and 14 ounces.
As you know, being an outdoor type, you encounter all extremes of weather that mother nature possesses and this Big Bear can deal with them all. It is constructed from 600 denier polyester and 210 boxcar dobby polyester which are extremely lightweight and very weather resistant. And to show the Big Bears versatility are the HDPE frame sheet with tubular stays, an ice axe loop, a haul loop, dual side water bottle pockets and it's bungee compression. All in all you don't need anything more from a rucksack than the Big Bear gives. Whether you call it a rucksack or backpack one thing remains and that is this Big Bear does the job.
