Hikelite 18 Hiking Backpack , Aloe Green

a small lightweight bag

Used this for some quick trips through trails to carry water for us. Works great and more breathable on the back than most packs. Wish I would have had this with me when I was in Colorado!

Great for day hikes

LOVED this bag! Im a mom with 4 kids and I used it while we traveled Paris and Rome. It was lightweight and comfortable for the ALL day walking we did. I was able to pack one outfit, swimsuit, ipad, chargers, water bottle in the main compartment with room to spare and the small zippered pouch at the top of the pack fit my wallet, passport, chapstick, hand sanitizer, and phone. The straps never cut into my shoulders and when it started feeling heavy I utilized the clips around the shoulders and waist to distribute the weight and I could go for another few hours.

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).

This is an awesome little pack. It’s little but that is what I wanted. It’s really comfortable and breathable. It does have ridged supports in it so don’t expect to fold it up in a little ball.

Nice backpack, second one I have bought. Loaned the 1st one to my son. Worked well for him on his day hikes in the Southwest US. So its now a permanent loan.

I’m sure the quality is great but it wasn’t big enough or the right fit for my husband (6ft 200lbs). We got another style (the daypack) and it’s perfect.

The sprung back is the best ventilation system on rucksacks and its unusual to find it on a smaller day bag. Highly recommended. Can easily accommodate a jacket, fleece, water bottles & snacks.

this pack is great but with a hard frame not good for me. i only do day hikes so i do need lots of storage. i have moved on to a frameless pack. but time will tell.
