If you’re looking for the day hiking pack that will give you the most possible comfort, the Hikelite is a superb place to start. The back design is so comfortable that I would almost recommend not trying it on unless you’re looking to buy. You WILL fall in love with it. It’s so lightweight and simple, so incredibly breathable and so secure on the body. The only cons of this bag come if you’re needing to pack it away, as it’s more structured and rigid than the sportlite, and the fact that it’s a bit more expensive. Nonetheless, absolutely a worthwhile purchase and will be a GAMECHANGER for your comfort on hikes!

Fit tip:
Potentially a tiny bit long on very short torsos.
