Hikelite 18 Hiking Backpack , Aloe Green

I like the fact it creates air space between my back and the pack. It should help to air out sweat on my back in summer time. I took out the rain cover and carry a bag of snacks in there. I can reach it easily to eat while I walk. One disappointment was that there weren’t more small compartments in the upper section to keep things separate. …And the hole for the water bladder tube is a bit too tight. I have to wear this pretty tight up close to my shoulder but was able to adjust it to wear comfortably. I’m enjoying it!

This backpack is the perfect size for any outdoor adventure. Its compact enough for a long bike ride, yet has enough room to hold all of our stuff! Great buy.

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 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.

Love the size of this pack and the off the back suspension is a definite plus

We use this as a diaper bag because we are always on the go-go-go with the kids and needed something lightweight that could carry all our stuff! We usually carry two water bottles, one for each kid, a change of clothes for each kid, some diapers, some wipes, and some snacks and this pack can easily manage all that PLUS room for more all while being extraordinarily lightweight and comfortable to wear around. One of the best things is the side pouches for the water bottles. When you bend over to pick up ...I dont know whatever one of a million things your kid has dropped that you need to pick up...the water bottles stay secure in their pockets but they are accessible enough for a *quick* grab when you need it.

Nice for everyday use. Like that it has a removable waist strap. I removed mine as its not really needed on this small pack. Much tidier without it.

Comfortable and light. And the attached raincoat kept everything safe and dry during our inaugural hike with the pack.

I’m 5’5” and this is a great size for me. Have used it as a carry on item on a flight as well as a daytime hike backpack.

My partner and I have done day hikes and car camping all over national parks across the country and most recently Alaska. This is the perfect pack for all your essentials. Not too big or too small, just right!
