By removing its bladder, this backpack will fit in your middle back. Though it doesn’t hold much, it has enough storage space to hold the essentials for a short day trip.

But if you need a backpack for a longer trip, you can buy a parkour arial pack. These are slightly expensive but specially designed for parkour use, lightweight and durable.

Snacks

It’s an essential thing to put into a parkour backpack, but the amount depends on the available storage space. During a parkour trip, you will expend plenty of energy, and snacks will replace it. If your parkour backpack doesn’t have much room, add a few protein bars or a few trail mixes with nuts. Since you’ll use the larger bag for a longer parkour holiday, you can add a bit more.

Water bottle

You should put a bottle of water in too. Most parkour backpacks have special space for a water bottle. If your bag doesn’t have any, carry a water bladder for hikers or go to an area where water is commonly available.

Remember, hydration gets priority on parkour trips, and parkour is an intense activity. don’t drink much water before parkour training. Instead, keep a water bottle in your backpack and drink it after the parkour workout.

First Aid

First aid is a must-have essential to put into a parkour backpack. A tiny first aid kit easily fits into the smallest spaces. However, larger parkour backpacks offer enough space for something that will be a lifesaver during an emergency.

The reason is that, during parkour training, you can get injured and this first aid will help you recover quickly, avoiding having to cancel the trip to go to the hospital. However, a severe injury will admit you to the hospital.

Identity

Keep your wallet and cell phone with you at all times. Many people consider carrying them in a holster, but doing so increases the risk of loss due to rolls or falls.

This identity will save you and let you get back to the family about something that happened during the parkour trip. You should also keep the medical alert card in your wallet. This will inform other people about your medical issues, allergies, or other conditions you may have.

The Long Haul

Many traceurs pick the best parkour spots for their travels. If you have the same plan, you’ll need a large backpack that fits your laptop. It should also hold some extra sets of clothes, a hat, a hair tie, and sunglasses.

A bandana will keep your hair back on sunny days, and you can use it as a sleep mask as well.

You can also pack a decent DSLR or a smartphone to record larger shots, especially if you plan on documenting the trip.

Don’t forget to pack a solar-style universal charger or a battery to keep active all of your electronic devices.

Pack some lotion and lip balm to protect your skin. If you have sensitive skin, don’t forget to pack sunscreen.

Gloves

Last but not the least; gloves will come in handy if you plan to go closer to nature. Though many advanced parkour practitioners don’t use it, it can make your trip safer.
