🏔️ Optimized for Hiking: Osprey Hikelite 18 Backpack Review

Perfect weight, day or night pack. A durable rain cover and mesh back keep your back from sweating. Being a woman the front strap fits my chest perfectly and not on or under my chest/bust which was an issue for me.

Only criticism was the waist…

So first let me say that's why this bag only got 4 stars received, lies in the organization. They only give you 3 zipped compartments. The big, small one at the top can be big enough for a phone or glasses case, and the bottom one as a rain cover if you need to consider it at all. I understand that this is a holdall, but why not give us a large zipped compartment on the front where we can store some small items, or at least an inner zipped pocket that can be used for things like passports.
