The Sportlite 20 is a simple, but awesome bag for any day hike. I think this new model makes a few improvements on the previous model - first, the hip belt has the added "hip wings" that make it more comfortable than the previous version that consisted of nylon webbing and the back panel is slightly more rigid offering a more supportive carry with the addition of the AirScape design.

If you're looking for more volume and an adjustable torso, you'll find that in the Sportlite 30, as well as a proper hip belt. However, if not filling out the full volume the flap closure on the 30L may flap around - which may or may not be a dealbreaker for you.

If you're looking for a pack for the occaisional day hike, but would like to use it for everyday use or travel, this is a great option for you. It's hydration compatible, has large mesh drink bottle sleeves, sternum strap and hip belt, includes a rain cover and can accomodate an ice axe. This wouldn't be my first pick as a hiking specific bag as I'd want a more breathable back panel - but it is more breathable than other nylon backed urban bags. I also really like how easily the hip belt is removed for when you don't want to use it and dont want straps dangling around. Finally, the bag features two top pockets - one on the outside for quick access, and one just inside for your more valuable items like wallet or keys which is a design feature I've come to appreciate in my travel bags.

Fit tip:
Narrow behind the neck
  • 10kg load limit
  • Recycled polyester, PFAS-free, bluesign®-approved outer fabric is extremely robust
  • Very light top-loader with roll-top closure
  • Padded shoulder straps with stretch mesh pockets
  • Removable waist strap for extra stability when required
  • Internal lid pocket with key hook
  • Asymmetrical extra long zipped access to main compartment
  • Ice axe/trekking pole attachment
  • Dual stretch side pockets for water bottles, snacks or other items you want to keep close to hand
  • Hydration system compatible
  • 2 practical daisy chains on the front for attaching other gear
  • Stowable rain cover in base pocket

The Sportlite family of packs is one of my long-time favorites. I picked up a Sportlite 20 a few years ago when I was after a simple small volume bag for day hikes, but that could also collapse nice and flat in the bottom of my duffel. It carries everything I need for hikes year-round on the North Island, as long as I'm not gaining too much elevation as the 20L becomes a bit tight trying to squeeze a puffer and a shell inside. The 20L option fits a bit shorter, while the 25L comes in two length options - as a rule of thumb I find the S/M fits most women, while the L/XL suits most men. The 25L is slightly more supportive as it does have a hip belt.

As I said, this bag makes an excellent travel companion for when I need a bag around town or want to go hiking, but due to its light weight and flexible back panel, I don't notice it taking up too much space in my luggage. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight, simple and no-frills day bag, or as a travel bag.
