Hikelite 18 Hiking Backpack , Aloe Green

Great little day bag for hiking.

Works alright for day hikes, for sure, but the shoulder strap padding is too thin (first time using, at the end of a strenuous five-hour hike at altitude carrying a full pack (mostly water and snacks, and extra layers), my shoulders hurt and the skin over my collar bones were bruised - never in my life have I experienced that with a backpack before) and the pack itself makes your shirts pill badly around the lower back. I ruined a bunch of t-shirts on a recent trip. Im actually worried about carrying this pack while wearing a more expensive jacket or rain shell. It might damage those items too. Seems theres no way around that.

I bought this for my wife and I am very impressed. I havent had an Osprey pack before, but it is if great quality with some really nice features. Im jealous of how breathable the back is with the space for air between yourself and the pack. The trekking pole attachments are a nice addition. I would definitely recommend for a light daypack and will consider the brand for future purchases.

Side pockets werent tite to hold a water.

My husband and I are empty nesters now and just got into hiking about two years ago. He loves this pack for day trips. Great quality. Lots of room for hydration pack and more. Ill be purchasing mine this spring. Highly recommend Osprey brand. Our full packs are same brand. Durable. Comfortable. Great pack for the price!

I’m sure the quality is great but it wasn’t big enough or the right fit for my husband (6ft 200lbs). We got another style (the daypack) and it’s perfect.

Waist straps are the old kind that does not stay put. If Osprey had used their newer waist straps that tighten by the hip I would have kept this pack. Sent it back because it did not live up to Ospreys standards.

I was looking for a bag to take on walks. I had an ok bag before, but my back would be all sweaty on hot days. It’s amazing how the mesh on the backside of the bag helps with circulating air to my back. It’s easy to adjust the backpack to customize the fit. All the pockets and clips are great. Water bottles stay secure even if the bag is on its side. My one complaint is that the bag does not sit upright (that picture they use is deceptive).

This is an awesome little pack. It’s little but that is what I wanted. It’s really comfortable and breathable. It does have ridged supports in it so don’t expect to fold it up in a little ball.

I used this on a slot canyon and it did really well. Has some wear from the sandstone but thats expected in that environment. Great little pack!
