Osprey Europe Hikelite 26

Product Information

Built around an Airspeed™ suspended mesh backpanel and a removable webbing hipbelt, the Hikelite 26 lets you carry your load comfortably with the weight distributed evenly across your back, as well as keeping you cool thanks to the effective ventilation. The main feature is the ventilated back where the actual pack is kept away from your back by a taut mesh tensioned on a strong metal wire frame. Much of my walking lately has involved anywhere between 2 to 8 hours of greenway walking, arriving straight into work for an evening shift, so I’ve found it useful that the off-back posture of the pack keeps things a little fresher. It's a 26-litre backpack for done-in-a-day adventures, whether hiking, hill walking or rambling at the weekend with friends and family. Hikelite 26 features an AirSpeed™ suspended mesh backpanel, helping to keep you cool and comfortable when you’re out for a hike.

With plenty of pockets, there is room for a map, your phone and wallet, and everything else you could need for day out and about. Osprey's Hike lite 26 is an unassuming technical pack that is perfect for day hikes and everyday use. This backpack is also hydration-compatible and has an internal reservoir sleeve with an Osprey Hydraclip and a hose port that runs through the backpanel. A bluesign® approved product consists of at least 90% bluesign® approved textiles and/or 30% bluesign approved accessories. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit.Patagonia first made a fleece from recycled plastic bottles in 1993, since then more and more brands have been ‘recycling rubbish’ to make the high-performance clothing and equipment that we all love to rely on in the outdoors. A tensioned mesh back panel keeps up airflow between the pack and your back and the minimalist design provides easy use. It sits a little higher than I’m used to, but this hip belt isn’t there for weight transfer like you get with the heavier load luggers.

A fixed BioStretch harness uses elastic binding that delivers maximum flexibility without compromising stability for dynamic movement when scrambling or hiking steep ascents. It's lightweight and designed for use in wet conditions where you need complete waterproof protection. Whether you're a casual or experienced hiker, the light and streamlined Hikelite 26-litre daypack combines essential features and quality construction with the impeccable ventilation that AirSpeed ™ has to offer.

The slim profile makes it suitable for city / commuting use and the integrated rain cover and hydration support are welcome in such a lightweight pack.

Small and light comes with limitations and this is not a pack you would want to overload due to the lack of weight transfer to the hip belt. AS A YOUNG BOY GROWING UP IN OREGON, Mike found himself unsatisfied with the poor fit of his backpacking equipment.Its made of the same material as the other Osprey rain covers so should turn a few showers, but don’t rely on it to protect critical electronics, dry bags are best for that. My usual water flask kept falling out until I devised a way of attaching it to the top straps of the bag to keep it in place.

I felt the backpack held my walking poles well thanks to the two sets of straps, including the ones right at the top that also keep the large front pocket closed (and my water bottle in place). Inside the main compartment is an sleeve for a hydration bladder with a central hole for the tube so that you can run it down either arm strap both of which have two elasticated loops to feed the tube through. A removable hipbelt with 25mm webbing enhances load stability to keep you balanced and comfy when moving over uneven terrain.
