The first thing to decide is what backpack do you require for the type of hiking that you are doing. For example if you are only doing daytrips then a small 30 litre day pack may be all that you need. If however you are doing longer multi day hikes then a larger 60 to 90 litre pack may be required.
If you are hiking in warmer climates it is now possible to get packs that don't sit flush on your back. That is they have a mesh frame that allows air to circulate between the pack and your back. This helps to cut down on the amount of perspiration which is particularly important when doing hikes such as the Kokoda Trail.Extremely high rates of perspiration are thought to have contributed to sickness and even death in fit hikers on the Kokoda Trail
Other things to look for are outside storage areas for things such as cameras and snacks to avoid having to take off your pack every time that you need to take a photo or eat a snack.
