Have not hiked with it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have not hiked with it yet but have like the suspension and airway between my back and the pack. As with other reviewers, wish there was a simple panel to divide the main compartment for ease in finding things along the trails.

Osprey makes excellent packs and this is no exception. In addition, I purchased it at a discount and Backcountry got it to me in short order and top condition. I'll write my real review when I'm done with it.

Manufacturer going above and beyond.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Manufacturer going above and beyond. Well made and sturdy. Extremely light weight as well. Going to be a great pack for day hiking and traveling. Pockets are divided well to hold your different items from water, napsack, cloths, and lunch. Perfect overall.

Great fit for my 10yr old daughter!

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

We were looking for a new backpack for my daughter and I wanted to get a bag that not only had enough space but also fit well and looked nice. This bag checked all the boxes. We had her measured to ensure we purchased the perfect size for her frame. The goal was to ensure her heavy load of books and whatnots she will be carrying this year sat properly on her hips. My wife and I also wanted her to start getting the proper feeling of what it means to have a bag that fits her frame.

So glad I got this bag. It has multiple useful pockets, adjustable straps, and trekking pole holders. Good pocket for a water bladder (not included). I love that the pack technology keeps ventilation from my back and the backpack to minimize sweat and discomfort while hiking.

I got the Hikelite 26

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Hikelite 26 pack for light day hiking while training for an upcoming Rim to Rim hike in the Grand Canyon. This pack works perfectly. I like that it is durable, a simple design, and holds everything I need, including a hydration bladder. Overall, I am very pleased with this backpack

Love this bag so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this bag so far. Only wish is that it had an additional inside compartment. Not a complaint, just a wish. Big fan overall, happy with my purchase. Looking at getting more sizes. Also love the ventilation on the back
