## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this backpack
*by A***N on 29 August 2024*

Bought for a family trek up Scafell Pike. Carried my waterproof clothing, extra jumper, first aid kit, 3 small water bottles, 2 x 2 litre water bottles to refill, sandwiches, fruit and snacks for all family. Fitted a lot into it. It was heavy (at least for much of the trek), but was incredibly comfortable on me (6 foot 2 and 90kg).The shoulder straps are very comfortable, as is the waist support. The pockets on these are too small for my phone, but useful for small items. The pack seems incredibly well made and I love the included rain cover on these packs. The best bit though ventilated mesh back works so well. I felt no overheating, no sweating (unlike other packs) and it felt very comfortable for the entire hike.I also have the smaller Hikelite 26, which I also love for shorter local walks or when just walking on my own (not carrying water/food for children etc). The ventilation system is great on both packs. But the real standout differences on these two packs (other than the obvious capacity) are:The side bottle holders are a little shallow on the 26, so some taller bottles feel like they could fall out, the 32 has much deeper pockets.The front "stuff it" pocket is very small on the 26, can just about hold a thin raincoat or a thin top. The one on the 32 is much better and can securely hold at least two pieces of clothing. In both cases these pockets are very useful in changing weather, as it is so easily accessed without opening the pack.The waist belt is much better on the 32. But not removable as it is on the 26.The top pocket is bigger and better on the 32. But the pocket on the 26 is also great, and appropriate on that size of pack.This series of packs are very well made, super comfortable, very well considered back ventilation, well designed and very lightweight. My 26 has been super durable over the years and shows very little sign of wear. It looks like the 32 will be equally durable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good
*by J***K on 25 September 2023*

A neat well constructed small Backpack. Adjustable, comfortable and the airflow back system lessens back sweat.Usual Osprey quality. Fairly short pack so ideal for Cycling, which is what I chose it for , along with it's minimalistic design, only having the main compartment, a small inside flap pocket for keys or phone , and side bottle holder. The multi pocket ones are fine if one has a good memory. Not the lightest pack due to the rigid part in the back system. Only had it a week or so . Cannot comment on longevity but it looks and feels like it will outlive me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant backpack.
*by J***E on 19 July 2025*

Should have bought an Osprey backpack years ago thus saving me a lot of money buying inferior backpacks over the years. This is very well designed, has enough space to carry the required essentials for a day’s fell walk and the chest and waist straps help to distribute the weight. Large meshed side pockets were ideal for securely carrying large water bottles.All in all a brilliant backpack.
