What accessories can you put on a backpack?

Many accessories can be put on a backpack, depending on the intended use of the backpack and personal preference. Here are some examples:

1. Water bottle holder - This can be a pocket or a loop on the side of the backpack that securely holds a water bottle.

2. Chest strap - This helps to distribute the backpack's weight more evenly and prevents it from bouncing around while walking or hiking.

3. Hip belt - Similar to the chest strap, this helps distribute weight and prevents the backpack from shifting around while walking.

4. Compression straps - These straps are used to compress the backpack and make it more streamlined, which is useful when carrying bulky items.

5. Rain cover - This cover covers the backpack to protect it from rain and keep its contents dry.

6. Pockets - Additional pockets can be added to the backpack to hold items such as keys, a phone, or snacks.

7. Trekking pole holder - This is a loop or attachment that holds trekking poles when they are not in use.
