Osprey Packs

Hikelite 26L Backpack

Great Pack!!

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Exactly what Iwas looking for to use on day hikes. Well built.

Good ruck sack

I find this a really comfortable sack, often unaware I am wearing it. You can carry a fair amount of gear and the front pouch is really useful for holding things you might use a lot such as a hat, gloves, jacket etc. Could be better with a larger padded hip belt but it's not a major issue. I have used it on some long days out and it really does the job. Comes in some good colours as well, not just boring Blue or Black.

Great pack

Bought this for day hikes and it’s great, super comfy to wear and love that it doesn’t sit directly on your back so keeps you cooler! Wish it had more internal pockets but it’s a fantastic bag and lovely colour and so glad I made the purchase

Hikelite 26

Great quality size and features. A regret free purchase.

Great versatile product

I love my new day walking rucksack! The fit is good, plenty of strap adjustments for a good fit over a range of clothing thicknesses, shoulder straps are comfortable even with a strap vest. Side pockets are easily accessible without having to take off, large enough to hold a water bottle and elastic is enough to prevent items falling out when moving around. Volume is just right for my needs and I'm sure it will hold more than I usually carry. Raincover is convenient though requires a little adjustment if wearing thinner clothing to avoid rubbing. I would recommend this brand and product.

Have not hiked with it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have not hiked with it yet but have like the suspension and airway between my back and the pack. As with other reviewers, wish there was a simple panel to divide the main compartment for ease in finding things along the trails.

Excellent Pack

26L

Osprey makes excellent packs and this is no exception. In addition, I purchased it at a discount and Backcountry got it to me in short order and top condition. I'll write my real review when I'm done with it.

Small pocket

I bought the hikelite 26 as I already own the hikelite 18 which is a fantastic pack , my only gripe with the 26 is the small pocket is at the back of the pack which gets in the way if using a hydration bladder, this doesn’t happen with the 18 if the pocket was repositioned the pack would be near perfect.

Just the best day hiking bag!

I love my bag - its the perfect size/ weight for me to be out hiking all day - I do pop a dry sack in to act as a "another area" as there is no compartment inside. This side bottle pockets are perfect for up to 1ltr bottles/ or stashing your gloves as well. Just an all round really good bag. I have had a few issues now with the logo constantly peeling off - not the end of the world - but I wish it would stay!

lightweight and comfortable

useful size and capacious stretchy side pockets for waterbottles. comfortable. as it has a rigid back 50cm high its too big for hand luggage on some airlines. fabric rustles.
