Hikelite 18 Hiking Backpack , Aloe Green

This is a good bag, works well and is durable. Very comfortable. All the space you would need for an all day hike or day out with the kids.

I dont really consider myself to be very gentle with a lot of my outdoor equipment. That being said Ive owned this pack for over 2 years and Ive haphazardly thrown scissors and other hard pointy tools into the pockets and havent had a hole yet. Ive thrown a full jug of water in there and ran around some hillsides and never had the straps wear out. Ive used it as a camelbak, day pack for hiking, and most recently as a fishing backpack (Although the lures and hooks were in containers and not just sitting in the bag). I think the most I had in the bag at one time was my hammock, 2 twenty foot ratchet straps, my rain fly, an E-tool, an extra fleece jacket, a 36oz water bottle in the side pocket, a poncho, and still had room for plenty of snacks and small misc gear.

The backpack is very comfortable and the mesh back panel is nice.

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.

I bought this pack after reading many reviews. I wanted a pack enough that was big enough for a long hike but also one that did not look ridiculous to bring on a short day hike. When I came across this one I was instantly smitten. It arrived right before I was scheduled to go on a 6 mile hike the next day. The pack was lighweight, it held my snacks for the hike, my wallet, my hydroflask and polaroid camera all in the main compartment. It was nice because there is a small compartment in the front where you can put your sunglasses and its supposed to be antiscratch. I kept my sunglasses on so I did not get to try that feature on. I also kept my hydroflask in the main big compartment even though it fits in the side mesh pocket for watter bottles I just was a bit nervous that my hydroflask would stretch out that mesh part since it was a bit of a tight squeeze. I loved this pack - it was easy to carry, it was a hot day and there was breathability on my back despite the 6 mile hike I was able to feel a nice breeze on my back carrying the pack the entire time. I would definitely recommend. Next is just buying the water reservoir for it! (it does not come with one).

I had an Osprey daypack for several years before it got stolen. I liked it so much, I decided to replace it with the same thing. Although it is slightly different (the old one had a camel which I never used anyway), I like this new one even better. The best feature is the mesh back which creates an air pocket to reduce sweating; it also has a built-in rainfly. Every other pack I have ever owned or tried on was simply too big for me as I am under 5 tall. This one is perfect and very comfortable.

It was a gift, and they loved it.

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.

Needed a backpack that held water bottles and kept my back cooler. This one works great. Fits my frame well.

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.
