Hikelite 18 Hiking Backpack , Aloe Green

I am a regular day hiker doing 8-14miles. I bought this backpack for its design that allows very good ventilation on the back. No more sticky-sweaty backpack :) Easily carry a gallon of water, still has just enough space for a jacket and lunchbox. The metal frame keeps it well balanced. It features all the adjustments that one can desire, chest, shoulder and hip straps. All very well built. Chest strap has a built in whistle. It comes with a rain cover that stealthily goes into a zip pocket at the base, which also doubles up as a cushion.

Tired of carrying water bottles in hand and a cross body bag. First pack I’ve bought and went on a 3.5 mile hike. Bought an Osprey 2L hydration bladder to go with this. I’m 5’8, 200lbs and had no issues. Need to get more usage out of it but I feel like it’s still going to be a good pack. Love the hydration pack also.

This pack it perfect, except for one problem-where the mesh back covers the frame at the bottom corners, it causes pilling on T-shirts. I tried sewing up some pieces to fit over the straps and cover the corners, it’s not super classy but gets the job done - it’s just a shame that that was necessary.

Perfect for long hikes. Keeps your back dry and very comfortable. Straps are sturdy enough to attach your camera or other gear. I needed a backpack that was large enough for a 3-8 hour hike but light and comfortable.

Been eyeing this since August and I got it for $63 during sales around Thanksgiving. Love the color on grey/yellow touch. It also has a very nice mesh in the back so that I dont get sweaty back

I returned this backpack in September because it was bigger, and clunkier, than I expected.

Great all day pack , for all terrains and ocassions

I use it everyday for work and hiking on the weekend. Its a great small pack and a welcome addition to my Osprey Atmos 65. Just wish there was a more effective way to rein in the clip straps when not in use, then tend to get in the way.

I love this pack. I wanted something that was off my back and this was perfect. Very roomy, I just wish it had more pockets. Note that this does have a frame, which I didnt realize before I bought it. I was hoping to be able to take this in my backpacking pack for day hikes, but it doesnt fit since it has the frame. But it is perfect for day hikes.

This backpack was smaller to me than it appeared in the photo-- but I think that is common among hiking bags. The construction is *outstanding*. The stitching is neat an uniform and double in weight-bearing areas. The materials are thin and strong. Every surface has a texture, and the colors absolutely pop.
