The clue is in the name with this pack. The Hikelite from Osprey is a lightweight backpack designed for long days on the trail or in the hills, boasting a whole host of features. It gives you 26 litres of carrying capacity and all the essential features you’d want from a daypack, along with a durable construction and amazing ventilation thanks to the AirSpeed back panel. Now designed with a wider and taller frame, it offers an improved and more comfortable fit, and the minimalist panel-loading design keeps things simple and practical. Added external storage and compression straps help with organisation, and the raincover will keep your kit dry even in a downpour. In short, the Hikelite is a high-end daypack that is bound to become your go-to for one-day adventures.
The Osprey story started in California in the 1970s, with one man, a sewing machine and a vision to make the world’s best outdoor packs. Today, it’s one of the most recognisable rucksack brands, relied on by athletes like Olympian Victoria Pendleton and elite mountaineers like Himalayan record-breaker Nirmal Purja.
All of Osprey's packs share the same twin hallmarks of fit and comfort. In fact, Osprey was an early adopter of breathable mesh, ergonomic hip-belts and packs designed specifically to fit women. Breathable back panels are still a feature of all their packs, and all except their most lightweight bags come with adjustable back-lengths for a perfect fit.
And in a world where outdoor enthusiasts are increasingly conscious of our environmental impact, many Osprey packs are made from durable recycled fabrics, while all feature PFC-free water-repellent coatings.
