I LOVE the pack. I
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE the pack. I wore it packed with approximately 20 lbs. for 7.5 hours on trails in Ricketts Glen and barely felt I had it in. Airflow is really good on it. I love the belt pockets and the stretchy side pockets. My only complaint is how the bladder has to go behind the top inside compartment and getting the bite valve through the hole is a bit of a hassle. Just two small matters. I overall am happy this was my choice.

The Hikelite 28 has changed hiking for me forever. I've had numerous packs of various brands over the years and thought they were all ""fine."" I',e also had 2 major spine surgeries and have permanent spinal hardware. I bought this pack after trying a friend's and can honestly say it's changed by life. Nothing rubs or dogs and my entire pack load is suspended in a way that is so much kore comfortable by entire hiking posture is improved. Additionally, the pack doesn't bounce or bump on my hardware and the hip belt doesn't rub on incision scars as other packs have done. THANK YOU!

Great pack!

`I am a 50 year old occasional hiker who hasn't had a new pack since college. Just spent 3 days hiking in the Catskills with this pack on my back for 7-8 hours a day and I love it. Plenty of space and super comfortable. I barely noticed I was even carrying a pack, had zero shoulder or back strain, and like the frame that allows for some airflow through the back area - a big plus hiking in 80+ degree weather. Never had to use the internal rainfly, but that was definitely a selling point for me. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pack was a long day hike upgrade for me and I chose it for 2 reasons. First was the Airspeed suspension which definitely keeps your back cool. Second was longer torso length. Along with all of the compression straps this a very comfortable and balanced pack. The stuff it pocket was an afterthought but is actually very handy. Extremely pleased with this purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this pack. I bought it to replace an older osprey pack that I completely wore out. I love the rigid stays on this backpack so that it sits upright when you put it on the ground and the air pocket helps keep it much cooler, a total bonus when you're hiking in the hot and humid Smokies.
