The Hikelite 28 is the perfect day bag for any day hike - I love the mesh back panel for breathability and the new hip belt and adjustable torso height is a great addition from the previous model. This bag has enough space to carry everything I need for a full on 8 hour hike and the ability to synch the sides down for a shorter walk where I haven't quite filled out the volume.

The sportlite 25 is a fantastic day pack for you if you’re wanting comfort, breathability and simplicity without spending a bajillion dollars on all the frills and fluff. While it doesn’t have a rigid, suspended back, it’s still got plenty of airflow and comfort from the airscape design. It also makes the bag way more transportable and easy to squish inside a suitcase/attach to another bag. I also love that there are multiple spots to customise the size and they didn’t skimp on the hip straps at all! Honestly a 10/10 and especially for the price.

The Hikelite 26L is a long time fan favourite. At 26L this day pack has enough volume to bring all the things you need for a long day on trail, like; a mid-layer, rain shell, small first aid kit, 2L water, snacks, and any other bits you may carry. Bonus! It comes with a rain cover! I'd recommend this to anyone wanting a mid-size day pack for use year-round, but if you're looking to take it travelling, the frame may be too stiff to use as carry on.

While the Airspeed suspension keeps your back nice and cool, some find the fit of the pack around the lower back very stiff and/or too narrow, with corners digging in slightly on wider hips.

Fit tip:
Bottom frame fits quite narrow
