Most hikers do not need a technical backpack with an injection-moulded frame and an ultralight philosophy. They need something they can comfortably pack, throw on their back and head out without worrying about a sweaty back or a rain cover left in the car. The Hikelite 28 is exactly this solution.

Ventilation you can really feel

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

Practical solutions without unnecessary thinking

The panel zipper opens the main compartment wide, similar to a suitcase – giving access to all your gear at once, without digging from the top. The integrated rain cover stored in the lower pocket is always at hand, so you do not have to think about it in advance. The padded hip belt with pockets keeps the backpack stable on the hips even during more energetic walking, and the side mesh pockets easily hold bottles. The hydration compartment with Hydraclip system is inside the main compartment.
