Product Description
LIGHTWEIGHT 20-LITRE DAYPACK FOR FAST-MOVING HIKES, EXCURSIONS AND TRAIL-READY ORGANISATION
The Osprey Sportlite 20 Backpack is a streamlined, panel-loading daypack built for fast-moving hikes, day trips and everyday outdoor adventures. With a lightweight structure, close-to-body carry and practical trail organisation, it gives you the storage you need without unnecessary bulk.
The 20-litre capacity provides room for layers, snacks, hydration, small valuables and quick-access trail essentials. A wide dual-zip panel opening gives easy access to the main compartment, while the front shove-it pocket lets you stash a jacket or other bulky item on the move.
Osprey’s AirScape™ backpanel uses mesh-covered foam and airflow channels to provide cushioned, stable support with ventilation. A webbing hipbelt with padded hipwings, padded harness and adjustable sternum strap with safety whistle help keep the load controlled and comfortable across short hikes and excursions.
Made with bluesign® APPROVED recycled materials, including 100% recycled ocean-sourced nylon ripstop in the main fabric, the Sportlite 20 balances lightweight trail performance with more considered construction. Hydration compatibility, side bottle pockets, trekking pole attachment points and a blinker light loop round out a clean, capable day hiking pack.
