Osprey Hikelite 18

The Hikelite 18 backpack is the ideal companion for anyone looking for the perfect combination of lightness and functionality. This versatile 18-liter hiking backpack is designed to accompany you on light walks as well as more demanding treks. Thanks to its intelligent layout, you can comfortably pack all your gear, spare clothes, and snacks, while the LightWire alloy frame ensures stability and ideal load balance.

Unrivaled comfort and airflow are provided by the sophisticated AirScape back panel, complemented by AntiGravity technology for a feeling of total weightlessness while carrying. Combined with flexible BioStretch straps, the backpack perfectly follows your movement and ensures maximum ventilation even on hot summer days. Furthermore, the entire construction is made from 100% recycled nylon with a PFC-free DWR water-repellent finish.

The main advantage is the practical access to the main compartment via a zippered front panel, ensuring you always have an immediate overview of your belongings. The backpack offers ample storage space, including an external pocket with a key clip, a front stretch pocket, and extra-deep side mesh pockets for water bottles. If you head out into the field with poles, you will appreciate the special trekking pole loops and upper compression straps for their secure attachment.

To help you stay hydrated, there is a dedicated internal hydration reservoir sleeve with a hose port and a practical clip for easy hanging. In case of a sudden change in weather, the integrated raincover, hidden in a separate pocket at the bottom, will save you. Stability in challenging terrain is further enhanced by an adjustable sternum strap with an emergency whistle and a removable hipbelt that secures the backpack firmly to your body.
