Hikelite 18 Hiking Backpack , Aloe Green

The trampoline suspension works incredibly well keeping my back dry on hikes. The material is lightweight but incredibly thin to where on the orange pack, if its packed full you can see whats pressing up against it. The rain cover is a nice touch to have since if this got wet, it would be soaked instantly. I have the Daylite pack too and the problem with that one is the side pockets design is horrible to where everything falls out. The side pockets on this pack is deep and holds things in place. Overall, very good pack!

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.

Great 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.

This is an extremely lightweight and unique day pack. I have a bunch of backpacks. Day, week, photo, drone and more. My first big pack was probably 40 years ago and had a rigid aluminum frame. Man have things come a long way. Today all my packs are soft and frameless, with high tech features that were not even imagined years ago. The support system in this pack is comfortable and keeps the pack suspended away from your back. It will hold a hydration sleeve and has a pass-through for the tube. Ive also used these for headphones.

Daughter used this in Europe and loved it! Easy to carry and water repellent

This is a great lightweight day pack. Very comfortable to wear on a medium female frame, 58 150.

I really wanted to love this pack. Its lightweight, fairly comfortable and I absolutely love the airspeed ventilation system on the back, which lived up to the hype. After a 12 mile hike in mild conditions, my shoulders/back felt completely dry. However, I had mixed feelings about the frame. It seemed a little much for such a small pack, but perhaps necessary for the awesome ventilation system. The bottom corners curve out a bit, so I tightened the straps to make it sit higher on my back to prevent the corners from rubbing against my hip bones. Im a pretty lanky individual (511 ~160 lbs), but the frame felt a bit narrow and seems like it would be ideal for a smaller individual. Theres a seam where thicker material connects to the mesh on the lower back. That in combination with the bottom corners where the frame sticks out caused major shirt pilling. Despite being fairly lightly packed, after just a single hike, the brand new shirt I was wearing showed substantial wear on the two spots on the back where the pack frame sticks out. This issue (pilling shirts) was one of the main reasons Ive been looking from my old pack which was made from cheaper materials. Unfortunately, it appears this pack may be worse than my last one in that regard.

Love this pack!! Used it for the first time for half dome. It was perfect, held enough snacks, and water. And yes it is compatible with a a camel bak bladder! And the breathable back of the pack was a life saver!!!

I didnt know what to expect from this bag. This is my first hiking backpack and I love it! Its very slim but it fits a lot of stuff. I use this as my daily commuter bag. The side pockets expand nicely for my water bottle. The smaller pocket in the front i use for my keys and earbuds. Anything that I need quick, easy access to. The bigger pocket fits whatever I want. I eventually want to see if I can add a pair of shoes. Since I take public transpo to work, I walk a lot and want to wear my sneakers and put my work shoes in the bag. I dont think I could fit a pair of boots. I love the rain protector thats included but havent had to use it yet.
