Most hikers do not need a technical rucksack with an injection-moulded frame and ultralight philosophy. They need something they can fill comfortably, sling on their back and set off without worrying about a sweaty back or dragging a rain cover from the car. The Hikelite 28 is exactly that solution.

Ventilation you will actually feel

The tensioned mesh back panel AirSpeed™ creates an air channel between the rucksack and your back. Unlike a classic soft panel that lies directly against your back, air flows freely across the entire surface here – and on a longer hike in warm weather, that makes a real difference. The rucksack is available in two sizes (S/M for torso 38–48 cm and M/L for torso 46–56 cm), which is an important detail on a unisex model – the right size means the hip belt sits where it should.

Practical solutions without unnecessary thought

The panel zip opens the main compartment across its full width like a suitcase – access to everything at once, without rummaging from the top. The integrated rain cover stored in the bottom pocket is always to hand and requires no forward planning. The padded hip belt with pockets keeps the rucksack stable at your sides even during brisk walking, and the side mesh pockets hold bottles without trouble. The hydration compartment with Hydraclip system is inside the main space.
