Osprey Hikelite Unisex Backpack, 28L, Black, M/L

Bought for a family trek up Scafell Pike. Carried my waterproof clothing, extra jumper, first aid kit, 3 small water bottles, 2 x 2 litre water bottles to refill, sandwiches, fruit and snacks for all family. Fitted a lot into it. It was heavy (at least for much of the trek), but was incredibly comfortable on me (6 foot 2 and 90kg). The shoulder straps are very comfortable, as is the waist support. The pockets on these are too small for my phone, but useful for small items. The pack seems incredibly well made and I love the included rain cover on these packs. The best bit though ventilated mesh back works so well. I felt no overheating, no sweating (unlike other packs) and it felt very comfortable for the entire hike. I also have the smaller Hikelite 26, which I also love for shorter local walks or when just walking on my own (not carrying water/food for children etc). The ventilation system is great on both packs. But the real standout differences on these two packs (other than the obvious capacity) are: The side bottle holders are a little shallow on the 26, so some taller bottles feel like they could fall out, the 32 has much deeper pockets. The front "stuff it" pocket is very small on the 26, can just about hold a thin raincoat or a thin top. The one on the 32 is much better and can securely hold at least two pieces of clothing. In both cases these pockets are very useful in changing weather, as it is so easily accessed without opening the pack. The waist belt is much better on the 32. But not removable as it is on the 26. The top pocket is bigger and better on the 32. But the pocket on the 26 is also great, and appropriate on that size of pack. This series of packs are very well made, super comfortable, very well considered back ventilation, well designed and very lightweight. My 26 has been super durable over the years and shows very little sign of wear. It looks like the 32 will be equally durable.

Love this bag to much as it's very comfortable to wear for long periods, hiking and travelling in warm countries. You'll see MANY people carrying these abroad and I understand why. Lots of compartments for snacks, water bottles and laptop etc. Very good quality and looks great. I still use mine post-travelling and it still works so well. Spend the extra and you won't need to replace this for years.

Well designed, comfortable, built in rain cover is fluorescent yellowy green NO ONE CAN FAIL TO SEE YOU IN BAD WEATHER

This was a replacement/ upgrade for an older bag, so had to be pretty perfect and it is! For just a couple of hours’ walk to a longer day, it’s big enough for extra layers, picnic, water. The stretch side pockets perfect for water bottles and it also has pole attachments. One small pocket for keys etc and one for everything else, unlike old bag which had so many, I could never find anything. I like the chest strap, which is useful if you’ve got a water bottle on one side only as it keeps the bag more level. Extremely light fabric, definitely an advance in technology, supremely comfortable and un-sweaty due to design and air back. This one looks almost beige in the photo, but in reality is pale green, which I really like.

It’s too lightweight and really is fit with any handbag about quality is not bad but it is too cheap

A neat well constructed small Backpack. Adjustable, comfortable and the airflow back system lessens back sweat. Usual Osprey quality. Fairly short pack so ideal for Cycling, which is what I chose it for , along with it's minimalistic design, only having the main compartment, a small inside flap pocket for keys or phone , and side bottle holder. The multi pocket ones are fine if one has a good memory. Not the lightest pack due to the rigid part in the back system. Only had it a week or so . Cannot comment on longevity but it looks and feels like it will outlive me.

the best

Bought for my partner whole absolutely loves this. You pay extra for Osprey, but IMHO its certainly worth it. Well designed, well made and very comfortable. With the AirSpeed ventilation mesh it keeps the pack away from your back, so it's the ONLY system that keeps your back ventilated and cool and prevents sweating. A really nice piece of kit that will last years Worth the money.

Hab noch nie einen Rucksack mit so viel Tragekomfort getragen. Ich war echt so überwältigt als ich ihn anhatte, hab ihn nach einer Zeit nichtmal mehr gemerkt. Vorne ist eine für Helme geeignete Tasche, die letzendes auch der Grund dafür war, dass ich das Produkt zurück geschickt habe, weil ich eine solche Tasche nicht benötige. Zudem gibt es keine einzige Innentasche, und ich bevorzuge eher Rucksäcke mit verschiedenen Stauraum Möglichkeiten für Kleinigkeiten und um Ordnung und eine Übersicht zu behalten. Aber das ist Geschmacksache, und ich betreue es sehr, dass ich den Rucksack aus diesen Gründen nicht behalten konnte. Menschen, denen ein großes Fach, ein kleines oben und die Helm-Tasche vorne ausreicht, haben mit diesem Rucksack eine sehr komfortable Option.

Super Rucksack, extrem leicht, sehr angenehmer Beckengurt- der das Gewicht federleicht wirken lässt. Ideal für den Tagesausflug mit dem Fahrrad oder als Begleiter bei Wanderungen.

Excelente producto, y el tamaño y capacidad Excelente para el día a día...

Perfekt!

Superb weight for the volume and features.
