The weight that a backpack can hold depends on the type of the backpack and its manufacturer. However, here are some standard approximations: Light backpacks can carry a maximum of 40 pounds but 25 to 30 pounds is advisable. A heavy-duty backpack can carry 100 pounds maximum but only 65 to 75 pounds is advisable, especially if there are hanging items carried on or around the backpack. It is also recommended to ask the manufacturer or seller regarding the specific weight that your backpack can carry.
Even if you get a recommended weight limit from the seller, you should still test the backpack at home before taking it on the road. Load the backpack with the actual items you plan to carry and then weigh it. Also try wearing it and walking around with it loaded. This will give you a more accurate weight limit for your backpack.
