Buy a rucksack designed for your preferred activity. They're often broken down under these category names:

Multi-activity
 – ’sacks for fast action like running and biking.
General walking – a non-specific general day walker’s rucksack
Hill-walking – more technical than above – better for hill users as it has ice axe loops, compression straps, wand pockets and trekking pole attachment methods
Mountaineering – more technical than hill-walking ’sacks, being narrow, stable, lightweight and ideal for scrambling, climbing and mountaineering.
Expedition – bigger capacity, twin internal compartments, ideal for long distance paths, hut-to-hut trips and any time that you need to carry a tent and sleeping bag.
