Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

32L

Sent back. if that pack was bigger it would have been a keeper. it was a great pack but the hip belt rested on my stomach about 3 inches above my hips. probable perfect for a woman

Nice fit and very lightweight,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice fit and very lightweight, but the shape and interior space are not as expected. It feels much smaller than 30L, and due to it's odd, highly curved space, very hard to fit anything here that's not a small item.

Still getting used to it,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still getting used to it, like the many pockets and compartments and the large main area which holds so much. The adjustable straps allow one to adjust the pack to their body. Great pack.

Love this pack. Very comfortable

Loved my Osprey Hikelite 32.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved my Osprey Hikelite 32. I carried it on The Camino in Portugal and Spain. Perfect size and fit. I can’t say enough good things about it! The pockets , the rain cover, how easy it was to size. Love love love it.

Great bag, i lose my

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great bag, i lose my stuff because theres so may pockets love the hip pockets. Water proof bag is so amazing

A very decent pack indeed,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very decent pack indeed, I mostly use it for single-day hikes when I'm going light, under 10kg. It pretty comfortably fits the necessities (first aid kit, headlight, sunglasses, emergency blanket, lighter, etc) along with 1-day worth of food and water, jetboil, coffee stuff and a couple of extra layers including puffy jacket. What I did like: pretty spacious 32l daypack, good back and waist support, integrated rain cover, roomy and sturdy back pocket with mesh extension, upper compression straps with fastex lock. What I didn't like: relatively small and not very comfortable lid-pocket, the waist only has one zippered pocket, the other one is useless mesh, no stow-on-the-go attachment. Generally, attaching both trekking poles or something relatively big to the sides makes opening the pack very inconvenient, these attached items get in the way of zipper. Not very high-quality zippers, my other osprey packs have better ones. It would also be nice to have bottom straps (detachable, at least) to pack a table or sleeping pad (sometimes I take one even on day hikes). Also - one of the really expensive ones for 32l :(

I LOVE this backpack.

I hiked across Spain for 500 miles over 35 days carrying this pack. I had NO issues and it was so comfortable. I carried about 13-15 lbs with a water bladder. Only wish the water bladder nozzle had a cover as every time I set the pack down my nozzle touched the ground - good for my immune system! I just feel so grateful for my pack. One of your sales people on the phone recommended it after I tried several other models and sizes. Couldn't be happier. One of the zippers broke before my trip but it wasn't key. I will call regarding this. Otherwise - highly recommend this pack. So light, so comfy, so kind to my body after a long haul. Thank you.

Great bag, poor quality.

I had really high hopes regarding this new design of the Hikelite 32 but am slowly losing respect for it. I purchased this bag for a day pack/carry on for a 17 Iceland vacation. This was the bags first outing and the material is already starting to wear through where the integrated frame is installed. Not only that, but the lettering/logo is already starting to wear off making it look sloppy. The bag is comfy and roomy and basic but the quality concerns me. The top loading is nice and the suspension/frame system keeps your back cool. Not sure if I'll buy another Osprey product after this trip.
