The clue is in the name here. Osprey’s Hikelite backpacks are lightweight and comfy – designed for long days on the trail, in the hills or even just out and about in the city. This mid-size one gives you 28 litres of carrying capacity and all the essential features you’d want from a daypack, along with durable construction and amazing ventilation thanks to the tensioned mesh AirSpeed back panel. A padded hipbelt keeps things comfortable and stable if you're loading it to its 11-kilo max, while the minimalist panel-loading design gives you easy access to the contents. Added external storage and compression straps help with organisation, and the raincover will keep your kit dry even in a downpour. In short, the Hikelite 28 is a high-end daypack that’s bound to become your go-to for one-day adventures.

The Osprey story started in California in the 1970s, with one man, a sewing machine and a vision to make the world’s best outdoor packs. Today, it’s one of the most recognisable rucksack brands.
All of Osprey's packs share the same twin hallmarks of fit and comfort. In fact, Osprey was an early adopter of breathable mesh, ergonomic hip-belts and packs designed specifically to fit women. Breathable back panels are still a feature of all their packs, and all except their most lightweight bags come with adjustable back-lengths for a perfect fit.
And in a world where outdoor enthusiasts are increasingly conscious of our environmental impact, many Osprey packs are made from durable recycled fabrics, while all feature PFC-free water-repellent coatings.
