Performance, features, value, pick two out of three. This always used to be the case with most outdoor pieces, whether that's a jacket, a rucksack or a tube of insect repellent. The Hikelite aims to break that mould, combining all the features you could possibly want for travel, walking and a day out in the mountains, with a super comfortable back system and tough fabrics throughout. Hikelite really is the epitome of quality and value.
Osprey's tried and tested AirSpeed backsystem places a thin, stretchy and breathable layer of mesh next to your back with the bulk of the pack suspended away to increase ventilation, comfort and breathability; no one likes a sticky back. The backsystem is also pre-curved, making it an ideal pack for not just walking and travel, but also biking and snowsports.
No daypack would be complete without an array of useful pockets, and the Hikelite is no exception. The Hikelite features an internal hydration sleeve to store up to three litres of water while you're out on your adventures, two stretch mesh side pockets for water bottles or additional layers, a scratch-free phone/sunglasses pocket and your main compartment to store everything else. On top of this, you also get walking pole attachment points, a sternum strap with an emergency whistle and a low-profile hipbelt which adds further stability and is fully removable. When the heavens eventually open, an included raincover keeps your kit safe and dry.
The Hikelite does just about everything you want a daypack to; it's comfortable, supportive, packable, lightweight and is packed full of useful features for a wide selection of activities.
