Product Description
LIGHTWEIGHT 26-LITRE HIKING PACK WITH AIRSPEED™ SUSPENSION, INCLUDED RAINCOVER AND TRAIL-FOCUSED ORGANISATION
The Osprey Hikelite 26 Backpack is a lightweight hiking pack built for casual outings, day hikes and more committed trail adventures. With a ventilated AirSpeed™ tensioned mesh backpanel, it keeps the weight off your back while maintaining airflow and stable carry through dynamic movement.
The 26-litre capacity gives you practical room for layers, food, water, trail essentials and wet-weather backup. A wide dual-zip panel opening makes the main compartment easy to access, while a top zippered pocket with key clip secures smaller essentials.
Trail-focused storage includes stretch side pockets for water bottles or quick-access items, a front shove-it pocket for a layer and an internal hydration sleeve with hose routing port and Hydraclip for hanging a reservoir. Upper side compression straps help stabilise the load and can capture trekking pole handles, while lower front loops secure trekking pole tips.
Made with bluesign® APPROVED 100% recycled ocean-sourced nylon ripstop and a DWR treatment made without PFAS, the Hikelite 26 combines lightweight trail function with considered materials. An included raincover, webbing hipbelt with padded hipwings, adjustable sternum strap with safety whistle and blinker light attachment loop round out a versatile day hiking setup.
