Lightweight Osprey Hikelite LT 22L hiking backpack. With AirSpeed™ suspension system, waterproof rain cover & bluesign® materials

The Osprey Hikelite LT 22 hiking backpack (Capacity: 22 Liters, Unisex Fit) is designed for day trips of short or long duration, offering excellent airflow, stability and comfort. Weighing just 0.77 kg and measuring 50 x 30 x 24 cm, it is the ideal choice for those looking for lightweight and functional gear with a load range of 2 to 9 kg.

The AirSpeed™ Suspension with a LightWire peripheral frame creates a tensioned mesh panel (mesh trampoline) that keeps the backpack away from the back. This air gap ensures maximum breathability and keeps the body cool. In addition, the breathable shoulder straps with load lifters, adjustable sternum strap with safety whistle, upper compression straps and hip belt with padded hipwings provide excellent weight distribution.

The spacious main compartment features dual-zip panel access for easy access, while including an internal hydration reservoir sleeve with hose routing port and Hydraclip.
