Why We Like The Osprey Hikelite 32L Pack
For daylong treks, we load our layers and gear inside the Osprey Hikelite 32L Pack. The treated exterior sheds morning dew, while the included rain cover deploys in a cinch when an afternoon shower passes by. Through never ending steeps and precarious scrambles, the back panel's suspended mesh keeps air flowing through, while the sternum strap and hip belt ensure a stable carry.

Seems to be a great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems to be a great pack. I made a mistake in ordering the 32 liter pack, though. Not large enough for El Camino for me. I should have ordered a 40 liter. C'est dommage. I'll use the one I bought in 2010 for my first camino. Just needs some tape where there is a small rip. All good.

I love the rucksack, however
I love the rucksack, however the waistband straps and the chest straps are way too long. I'm 5ft 5 inches tall and bought a small frame size.

only a 4 star because
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] only a 4 star because I have not yet used the pack yet. I am a long time Osprey backpack guy but most excited about the Hikelite due to the vent between the pack and my back to keep things a little cooler with air flow. It appears to be a solid quality pack that you expect from Osprey.

Nice fit and very lightweight,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice fit and very lightweight, but the shape and interior space are not as expected. It feels much smaller than 30L, and due to it's odd, highly curved space, very hard to fit anything here that's not a small item.

Still getting used to it,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still getting used to it, like the many pockets and compartments and the large main area which holds so much. The adjustable straps allow one to adjust the pack to their body. Great pack.
