The Hikelite 18 is a clean, minimalistic daypack designed for hikers who prefer simplicity without sacrificing performance. Its uncluttered layout makes it incredibly easy to use, while the highly breathable AirSpeed suspension, featuring a supportive mesh trampoline backpanel and a LightWire frame, keeps you cool and comfortable on the move. The BioStretch harness adds flexible yet stable support, enhanced by die-cut ventilation foam for breathable cushioning and load lifters for balanced weight distribution. A webbing hipbelt with padded hipwings provides added stability, making the pack feel secure and steady whether you're moving fast or navigating uneven terrain.
Perfectly equipped for changing weather, the Hikelite 18 includes a waterproof raincover made from 100% recycled polyester, neatly stored in a pocket at the base of the pack. The wide dual-zip panel opening gives easy access to the main compartment, while a front zippered pocket with a key clip keeps small essentials organised. Stretch side pockets hold water bottles or other grab-and-go items, and an internal sleeve with a hose routing port and Hydraclip allows for easy integration of a hydration reservoir.
Upper side compression straps help stabilise the load and can secure trekking pole handles, complemented by lower front loops for pole tip capture. A blinker light attachment loop adds visibility for early-morning or late-evening adventures. The adjustable sternum strap, complete with a safety whistle, provides additional security and comfort on the trail. Light, breathable and effortlessly functional, the Hikelite 18 is the ideal companion for everyday hikes and quick outdoor escapes.
