Hikelite 18 Hiking Backpack , Aloe Green

Great pack as advertised

This backpack was smaller to me than it appeared in the photo-- but I think that is common among hiking bags. The construction is *outstanding*. The stitching is neat an uniform and double in weight-bearing areas. The materials are thin and strong. Every surface has a texture, and the colors absolutely pop.

Perfect for long hikes. Keeps your back dry and very comfortable. Straps are sturdy enough to attach your camera or other gear. I needed a backpack that was large enough for a 3-8 hour hike but light and comfortable.

Nice backpack, second one I have bought. Loaned the 1st one to my son. Worked well for him on his day hikes in the Southwest US. So its now a permanent loan.

I purchased this backpack for a full day hike and it was absolutely perfect. It held all of my items with ease and I barely ever felt it was there. The special features like the built in rain cover, the soft lined pocket for your phone, the clasp for your keys, and the wide side pockets that hold my 40 oz water bottle perfectly all make this an amazing backpack. Do not hesitate, buy this backpack now. It’s comfort, durability, and versatility are unmatched!!

This backpack is not hot on my back, holds a lot of water and is perfect for a day trip. Best day pack I’ve had.

I returned this backpack in September because it was bigger, and clunkier, than I expected.

Used this during a recent stay in Banff NP and couldn’t have been happier with my purchase.

Im 61, weigh 280 lbs., and have struggled to find hiking gear that doesnt remind me that I dont fit in with the hiking crowd. This bag does just that - its light, offers good support, doesnt run up against my back, and is just the right size for my foray into hiking. The straps are adjustable so they offer the proper support to take weight off your lower back and provide enough space so you dont feel crunched up or unnecessarily restricted. My only complaint was the waist strap, which was not long enough (i.e. my gut not small enough) to fit around my waist. However, the waist strap can be removed until youre in a position to fit into it. Otherwise, this bag is perfect for day walking trips.

Great pack, perfect size for day hiking. Room for a 3L water bladder (not included) and a decent number of items in various pouches. Appreciate the thoughtfulness of details such as the built-in safety whistle, non-scratch pouch for your phone, and the built-in rain pouch has already been a blessing on the trail!
