Square Patches on Backpacks
Outdoorsman-friendly backpacks usually come with a wide range of features that the common backpack wearer wouldn’t know about. Heck, there are some parts of a hiking backpack that avid hikers don’t know how to use! For instance, did you know that those square patches on your backpack—the one with holes that look like a pig’s nose—actually serves a purpose?
You can run shoelaces through those holes to keep your sneakers safe and sound while hiking. This awesome feature means you won’t have to store your smelly shoes inside of your bag and risk contaminating the rest of your stuff.
